FEATURES

Shapeshifting - Passive: The spirit can assume the form of any number of humanoids, including the PCs and their loved ones, as long as they've seen the target in person. When the spirit interacts with a PC while posing as someone the PC knows, the PC can make an Instinct Reaction roll to realize that something is off.

Emotional Assault - Passive: When the spirit succeeds with standard attack, the target marks a Stress instead of taking damage.

Unburden Your Heart - Action: Mark a Stress to begin a sensitive line of conversation to try and bait a PC into an emotional confession or to reveal a secret they'd been holding onto. If the PC takes up the topic and makes a meaningful confession or disclosure, they clear 2 Stress. If they do not take up the topic, gain a Fear.

Divided You Fall - Action: Mark a Stress to say something hurtful or mistrustful of other characters and force a PC to mark a Stress.

The Big Reveal - Reaction: When a character opens up to the spirit or when it would be most heartbreaking, spend a Fear as the spirit drops their transformation and reveals that they were never the character the PC thought. The PC must make a Presence Reaction Roll or mark 1d4 Stress. The Spirit clears a number of Stress equal to the number marked.

Watching From the Shadows - Reaction: When one or more PCs are having an emotionally-intimate conversation, spend a Fear to introduce the Trickster Spirit in hiding within Far range, learning their relationships and anxieties.
