The Heart of Beasts
You can make a Feral move by either mimicking the behavior of beasts or subtly changing your body through natural arcane magic to enhance your actions. You can make any move of your Tier and below, but can only apply one move to an action roll or your movement.
Tier 1:
Rend: Spend a Hope before your attack roll within Very Close range. If it hits, the target is temporarily Bleeding. When a creature acts while Bleeding, they must Mark a Stress if they are still Bleeding at the end of their action.
Hone: Spend a Hope before making an attack to add +2 to the attack roll.
Charge: As part of your movement, Spend a Hope to sprint in a straight path up to Far range without making an Agility Roll.
Lurk: As part of your movement, Spend a Hope to move completely silent up to Far range. An Agility Roll is still required to reach Far range.
Tier 2:
Adapt: Spend a Hope to reduce the severity of the next physical damage you take. This can be used as a reaction.
Swim: As part of your movement, Spend a Hope to breathe and move naturally under water up to Far range. An Agility Roll is still required to reach Far range. While sustained, you always breathe and move naturally under water.
Spray: Spend a Hope before your next attack within Far range. If it hits, the target is temporarily On Fire. When a creature acts while On Fire, they must take an extra 2d6 magic damage if they are still On Fire at the end of their action.
Tier 3:
Prey: Spend a Hope to make one adversary temporarily your Prey. If an adversary is hit while having this condition, add 1d12 as additional damage to the attack then end the condition early. If an adversary without the prey condition is attacked, the Prey condition ends early on other adversaries.
Glide: As part of your movement, Spend a Hope to fly in an arc up to Far range. An Agility Roll is still required to reach Far range.
