Beeowulf

Adversaries Designed by Bard & Raven • Art by Reparatus Art

Adversary overview

Beeowulfs are solitary hunters, a dangerous hybrid between a bee and a wolf.

Beeowulfs are dangerous hybrids between a bee and a wolf and solitary hunters. They only very rarely come in contact with anything else than their prey so travelers should be wary to not rouse them or else they might become the prey.

Features

Passives

  • Winged Predator

    You gain the ability to fly. While flying, you can move up to Far range and Attack during the same spotlight.

  • Dusty Presence

    When the Beeowulf flies over the battlefield, they leave behind a thin cloud of pollen and wing dust, raining down on all targets in Far range, making them temporarily Pollinated until they mark a Stress to remove the condition. While Pollinated, at the beginning of each target’s spotlight, they roll a d10. On a 1, the target sprouts wings that flap uncontrollably, causing them to become airborne, hovering a meter above the ground, until the end of their next spotlight or when they succeed on an Action roll of their choice. This removes the Pollinated condition.

Actions

  • Stinging Paralysis
    fear 1

    Spend a Fear to make a standard attack with Beeowulf’s stinger against a PC in Very Close range. On a success, deal 2d8+5 direct damage instead and make them temporarily Vulnerable until they clear at least 1 HP.

Reactions
