Allakhazam has listed that this skill helps reduce our chances of being affected by a surprise attack. What does it REALLY do? I haven't seen anything do a surprise attack yet. Unless it is just a bonus to the first attack towards us that we didn't initiate, I can't imagine what this is for.

Please help me understand!

Certain (ranged) professions have special attacks that are considered "surprize attacks". When they use these you are considered to be "off-guard" and therefore have reduced defenses for that attack. Alertness is your chances of "spotting" the surprize attack and keeping your full defenses.

Hehe, it "surprise" without the zed, Raphayl

And it's a rating of your ability to dodge certain attacks, especially those of Riflemen when they are in the covered position.

AKA: The attacks they never use.

Sorry, was typing fast to get as much answered as I could last night, and wasn't paying much attention. I didn't have my grammer or spelling nazi activated. I think he still got the point.
