Actions

  • Profane Judgement
    fear 1

    Spend a Fear to Condemn a soul within Far range until they roll a success with Hope or their next rest. While Condemned, the target replaces their Hope Die with a d10 and when the target spends Hope to use features against the Seraph, they must also mark a Stress.

  • Iniquity
    stress 1

    Mark a Stress to whisper an unholy utterance that desiccates nearby foes. All targets within Very Close range must succeed on a Presence Reaction Roll or take 1d6+2 direct magic damage and mark a Stress.

Reactions

  • All Eyes Turn

    Countdown (Loop 1d4). When the Seraph sees a hostile target for the first time, activate the countdown. When it triggers, the Seraph makes a standard attack against up to three targets. Targets the Seraph succeeds against lose a Hope. If they succeed against more than one target, you gain a Fear.
