|additionalinfo = '''Divert''' is a [[combat maneuver]] available to [[rogue]]s that allows the user to cause a diversion while [[hidden]] or [[invisible]], tricking a [[creature]] opponent into leaving the room. The user can either divert the opponent in a specific direction, or lure the opponent to a random adjacent room.<br />
<br />
An [[Influence]] (INF) bonus is directly added to the attack roll and both [[Forest gnome|forest]] and [[Burghal gnome|burghal]] gnomes receive a bonus for being good ventriloquists. For example, an INF bonus of 10 and an [[endroll]] of 135 means that 10 of that endroll was from INF. If INF bonus was 15, all-else-equal, that endroll would be 140.<br />
<br />
A 101 endroll will send the target away. Higher endrolls result in longer [[roundtime]].<br />
<br />
If the rogue fails the maneuver badly, they may fall out of hiding. Failing by a typical margin will not drop hiding, but it will make successive attempts to Divert the same target harder for a period of time (since it's just not buying the ruse).<br />
<br />
Divert will not work against other player characters. Divert is not [[stance]] dependent.<br />
<br />
Divert is granted to Rogues for free upon mastering [[Rogue Gambits]] through the [[Rogue Guild]].<br />
