<h1>44 ANTAGONISTS</h1>
|
||
<h2>Node and Dylon’s Tactics</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Node and Dylon add an environmental effect to every conflict they take part in, the <strong class="highlight">tide</strong>. At the start of the conflict, the tide is high and it remains so as long as neither of them is in Crisis; as soon as either of them is in Crisis, the tide becomes low.</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="key-rule">
|
||
<h3>Environmental Turns</h3>
|
||
<ol class="tactical-sequence">
|
||
<li><strong>First Enemy Turn:</strong> Node uses <em>Hunting Horn</em> if he has enough Mind Points and hasn’t used it so far. Otherwise, he uses <strong style="color: #c4a05e;">Hunter’s Bow</strong>, prioritizing targets suffering from weak (during high tide) or slow (during low tide).</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Second Enemy Turn:</strong> Dylon uses <em>Rock Toss</em> against a random target. If he doesn’t have enough Mind Points he uses <em>Sea Fin</em> against a random target.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Third Enemy Turn:</strong> Node acts again, using <strong style="color: #c4a05e;">Net Throw</strong> against as many random targets as possible, prioritizing those suffering from weak during high tide.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Fourth Enemy Turn:</strong> Dylon uses <em>Coordinated Action</em>, prioritizing enemies suffering from weak. Node’s free attack (during high tide) targets a random enemy instead. If Dylon doesn’t have enough Mind Points, he uses <strong style="color: #c4a05e;">Sea Fin</strong> instead, always prioritizing weak targets.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Symbiosis and Shared Resources</h2>
|
||
|
||
<div class="key-rule">
|
||
<p>Node and Dylon are friends who share every aspect of their lives: for this reason they have a single pool of <strong style="color: #c4a05e;">Ultima Points</strong> and each can spend them to Invoke a Trait or Recover; if one spends an Ultima Point to Escape, both leave the scene safely.</p>
|
||
<p>The goal of this rule is to highlight how deep the symbiosis and harmony of this duo run, creating a stark contrast with the mission they undertook: they are clearly able to show care and tenderness, but they decided to discard these feelings when looking at one of their prey.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Tactical Adjustments</h2>
|
||
|
||
<div class="key-rule">
|
||
<h3>Initial Conflict (Player Characters)</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>Mindset:</strong> They do not view the Player Characters as worthy opponents, but rather as naive and headstrong people who don’t understand the importance of their mission.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Ultima Point Usage:</strong> They spend Ultima Points to Recover only when suffering from 3 or more status effects, and they always keep 1 Ultima Point to Escape as soon as one of them is reduced to 0 Hit Points (ignore the *I’ll Avenge You!* special rules).</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Subsequent Battles</h3>
|
||
<p>In subsequent battles, however, they consider the PCs a grave danger to their mission and spend Ultima Points to Invoke a Trait every time they fail a Check.</p>
