Sable Maw Leader

Adversaries Designed by Alan Valles

Adversary overview

A seasoned criminal who commands the gang through fear, cunning, and ruthless pragmatism. Their arcane pictos are stable and powerful, allowing them to push their crew beyond their limits.

NOTES:
Predator’s Speed Picto is a last resort ability since the cost is great and can be even greater if 1-2 is rolled.
Use the ability if you want to pressure the PCs or you are certain you can down a player making the attack much more damaging.

Also his picto blade has the following ability – When the leader deals Severe damage, the target marks 1 Stress.
