Features

Passives

  • Swimmer

    While in water, the Mermaiden can move up to Far range instead of Close range before taking an action. 

  • Fish Out Of Water
    stress 1

    While out of water, the Mermaiden is only able to move up to Melee range and take an action, or up to Very Close without an action. If they do not resubmerge in water within a day, they permanently transform into a human.

Actions

  • Breaching Strike
    fear 1

    Mark a Stress for the Mermaiden to leap from the water to a point within Close range. Make a standard attack against a target on the path. On a success, you can spend a Fear to force the target to make an Agility Reaction Roll. On a failure, they are hooked by the Mermaiden and dragged with them to that point. They also become Restrained until they make a successful Strength roll or the Mermaiden marks an HP.
