The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.

This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples

In the first installment of the X-COM series, the player's characters could only see enemies in their line of sight. This could easily lead to Surprise Attacks if rooms where not completely searched or aliens had the opportunity to sneak up behind the characters.

Game masters in Tabletop Roleplaying Games such as Dungeons & Dragons and GURPS can easily create Surprise Attacks for players in the form of traps or hidden monsters. Many times, however, players are given some chance to discover these to let characters with high perception help the group of adventurers.
