Surprise is a situation in which one group or character has prepared for a specific encounter by detecting their targets ahead of time and is able to use their entire Action Economy before any Initiative. This is typically done by preparing for any enemies to make an appearance. First Strike can be granted through a passive readiness for any enemy that allows a set of actions that can still be countered; Surprise is knowing of the presence of specific enemies and actively being prepared to make full use of all elements so that a full round of actions which cannot be countered actively is granted before Initiative is determined.
All weapons and effects must be properly prepared; Only a single prepared projectile can be used.
