Manticore Malice (Malice Features)

At the start of any manticore's turn, you can spend Malice to activate one of the following features.

🌀 Uncanny Mimicry (3 Malice)

The manticore uses their mimicry in an attempt to unnerve one creature within their line of effect. If the target has R < 4, they take a bane on power rolls against the manticore (save ends). Each time this feature is used against the same target during the encounter, its potency decreases by 2.

☠️ Solo Action (5 Malice)

The manticore takes an additional main action on their turn. They can use this feature even if they are dazed.

🌀 Desperate Howl (5 Malice)

The manticore lets out an unnerving cry. Each enemy within the manticore's line of effect makes an Intuition test.

  • ≤11: Frightened (save ends)
  • 12-16: Frightened (EoT)
  • 17+: No effect.

❇️ Barrage of Barbs (7 Malice)

The manticore sprays tail spikes across the ground within 5 squares of them. Each enemy in that area who has A < 3 is bleeding (save ends). Additionally, the area is difficult terrain, and any enemy takes 3 poison damage for each square of the area they enter. An enemy who takes 9 poison damage this way on one turn is weakened until the end of the encounter.
