Make the sneak attack hit hard once, and wake the neighbours only if it fails

Creeping up on a sleeping camp is the best moment in a survival game, if the rules are clear. Does the bonus repeat, does the kill make noise, who wakes up? This entry settles those points so a quiet kill stays quiet and a clumsy one has a price.

Why this works

Surprise belongs to the victim, not the attacker. Once someone knows you are there the advantage is gone, and a noisy fight should cost something, so a clean kill stays quiet while a messy one tells the neighbours.

When not to use it

Skip it in a game where stealth is not part of the fun, or where enemies are always awake, such as a wave defence. A flat damage bonus on a weak spot is simpler and keeps every fight fair.
