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.
