Everyone else is arguing with the armor. I’m having a conversation with what’s inside it.
Signature — Slip & Backstab
Slip: gain Hidden. Backstab: while Hidden, a Piercing wound costs no Boon. The window-exploiter — and the one archetype that can wound straight through a full shield.
Play Feel
The Footpad plays the tempo game: vanish, line up, and land the wound the party would otherwise have to break a whole shield to reach. Against Staggered targets you’re the deadliest thing on the board; against fresh ones, you’re setting up.
