Features

Terrifying - Passive

Every time this creature makes a successful attack, all PCs within Far range lose one Hope. “They strike you with silent satisfaction, and their claws rend more than flesh as your confidence sinks.”

Deathlock - Action

Spend a Fear to put a deathlock on a target within Very Close range as the Mortal Hunter binds the target with a necrotic curse. Any attacks made by the Mortal Hunter on a deathlocked target deal direct damage. This creature can only maintain one deathlock at a time. “They make a pattern with their hands and a sigil burns into you as it feels like something has wrapped cold hands around your heart.”

Inevitable Death - Action

Mark Stress to activate 1d4 adversaries under the Mortal Hunter’s control. They deal half damage with any attacks made in these activations. “The Hunter snaps, and the dead around you leap into action.”

Rampage - Reaction

Countdown (1d6 Loop)

Activate when a hostile target is spotted. When triggered, move in a straight line to somewhere in Far range, and make an attack with a +3 modifier against all enemies in the path. Deal 2d8+12 physical damage to any you succeed against. “Hatred burns in their eyes, and they shoot forward with a blur, tearing through everything in their path.”
