| Black Ash | Black Ash Teleport |
| Caustic Alchemy | Coat the Blade, Smoke Bomb |
| Harlequin Mask | I'm No Threat |
Black Ash Teleport¶
You have the following ability.
Black Ash Teleport¶
In a swirl of black ash, you step from one place to another.
Magic Maneuver 📏 Self 🎯 Self Effect: You teleport up to 5 squares. If you have concealment or cover at your destination, you can use the Hide maneuver even if you are observed. If you successfully hide using this maneuver, you gain 1 surge.
Spend 1+ Insight: You teleport 1 additional square for each insight spent.
Coat the Blade¶
You have the following ability.
Coat the Blade¶
A little poison goes a long way.
- Maneuver 📏 Self 🎯 Self Effect: You gain 2 surges. Additionally, whenever you use a surge before the end of the encounter, you can choose to have it deal poison damage.
Spend 1+ Insight: For each insight you spend, you gain 1 additional surge.
I'm No Threat¶
You have the following ability.
I'm No Threat¶
Taking on an illusory countenance gives you an advantage on subterfuge.
Magic Maneuver 📏 Self 🎯 Self Effect: You envelop yourself in an illusion that makes you appear nonthreatening and harmless to your enemies. You might take on the appearance of a harmless animal of your size, such as a sheep or capybara, or you might appear as a less heroic and unarmed version of yourself. While this illusion lasts, your strikes gain an edge, and when you take the Disengage move action, you gain a +1 bonus to the distance you can shift.
The illusion ends when you harm another creature, when you physically interact with a creature, when you use this ability again, or when you end the illusion (no action required). If you end this illusion by harming another creature, you gain 1 surge.
Spend 1 Insight: Choose a creature whose size is no more than 1 greater than yours and who is within 10 squares. This ability's illusion makes you appear as that creature. This illusion covers your entire body, including clothing and armor, and alters your voice to sound like that of the creature. You gain an edge on tests made to convince the creature's allies that you are the creature.
Smoke Bomb¶
You always carry a supply of smoke bombs to use for distractions and easy getaways. You can use the Hide maneuver even if you are observed and don't initially have cover or concealment. When you do so, you can shift a number of squares equal to your Agility score. If you end this movement with cover or concealment, you are automatically hidden.
