FEATURES
Shadow Step - Passive: The Hound may move from one shadow to another within Close range as if they were adjacent.
Capture Shadow - Action: Make an attack against a target within Melee range. On a success, spend a Fear to force the target to make a Presence Reaction Roll. On a failure, the Hound steals their shadow and the target becomes Shadowless. While Shadowless, a creature is Vulnerable. A creature clears Shadowless if the Hound suffers Major damage, is defeated, or when the target has their next rest.
Play Keep-away - Reaction: When a PC moves into melee range with the Hound, they can mark a Stress to move up to a Close range.
