Marked For Death
On a successful weapon attack, you can *mark a Stress* to make the target **Marked for Death**. Attacks you make against a target that's **Marked for Death** gain a bonus to damage equal to *+1d4* per tier.
You can only have one adversary **Marked for Death** at a time, and can't transfer or remove the condition except by defeating the target. The GM can spend a number of *Fear* equal to your *Proficiency* to remove the **Marked for Death** condition. Otherwise, it ends automatically when you take a rest.
