Features

Passives

  • Weapons of Myth

    Kratos has access to various ancient, magical relics (Like the Blades of Chaos and the Leviathan Axe). Kratos can make any attack physical or magical. If Kratos **Marks a Stress** he can add D8 fire or cold damage to any attack

  • Spartan Training

    Kratos is no stranger to pain. It can be dealt with. All damage Kratos' is dealt is reduced by One Threshold before he *marks Hit Points*

  • Mimir

    Mimir is the head of the former God Pan. He is now an advisor to Kratos and is usually present on the God of War's belt. While Mimir is present, Kratos can **Spend a fear** to gain *Advantage* on any roll. Kratos cannot be made to be *Vulnerable* by any means. All conditions applied to Kratos become *temporary* as Mimir advises how to break free of this inconvenience

Actions

  • Battle-Hardened Tactics
    stress 1

    Whenever Kratos marks Hit Points, he can **Mark a Stress** to learn one weakness/vulnerability of the being that damaged him

  • Spartan Rage/Relentless (2)
    fear 2

    Kratos' Spartan Rage is a special variation of Relentless. Kratos **Spends 2 Fear**: his damage rolls increase to D20s, and He gets one extra spotlight everytime he takes a spotlight. This extra spotlight must be used to attack an opponent on the battlefield. When he doesn't use his Spartan Rage attack or when there are no opponents left, the Feature ends and he cannot use it again until a *Long Rest*

Reactions

  • Counter Attack

    Whenever Kratos marks a Hit Point, if he did nothing to reduce the damage, He can immediately take the Spotlight, move to *melee range* and counterattack the being that damaged him. This does not cause him to **Mark stress** or **Spend Fear**

Motives & tactics

No holds barred Overwhelming offence

Experiences

  • Simple Man +4
  • Everything Dies if you hit it enough +4
