Actions

  • Your Shadows Betray you!

    Spend one Fear. Choose a target within Far range, causing their shadow to grow and wrap around them. The target must succeed a Presence roll or become Restrained until they succeed a Presence or Agility roll to break free.

    The target is also Vulnerable to damage from the Fanewraith and her minions while restrained in this way

  • Twisting Shadows
    stress 1

    Mark a Stress to cause the shadows in an area to twist, grow and claw. Targets of your choice within Close range of a point you choose within Far range must succeed on a Presence roll or Mark a Stress.

Reactions

  • Momentum

    When the Fanewraith makes a successful attack against a PC, you gain a Fear

  • I'm not done yet...
    fear 1

    When the Fanewraith has marked 7 or more HP, you can spend a Fear to sink her into the shadows, reappearing at a safe location to recover. A PC who succeeds on an Instinct Roll can trace the shadows to her destination.

  • Waiting in the Shadows
    fear 1

    When the Fanewraith has marked 4 or more Stress, you can spend a Fear to signal her allies waiting in the shadows. Three Fanewraith Archers appear within Very Far range and immediately take the spotlight.
