Frost Wolf

Pale, lean wolves that hunt in silent packs across the snowfields, pulling down stragglers.

Tactics

Circle, flank and harry; the pack withdraws once half its number falls.

Loot

Pelts (Animal, Preservative ingredient).

Abilities

Bite

Make 1 action check with the adversary's melee check bonus against 1 creature within melee reach. On a success, deal Average piercing damage (Damage Track).

Crafting Tags — Essence: none; Ingredients: Bone, Preservative

Swarm Attack

Requires: Minion rank and at least 1 allied Minion of the same type within Close that hasn't acted this round and can attack the same target.

Declare a Swarm Attack against 1 target within reach. Up to 3 allied Minions of the same type within Close may Join the Swarm. Make 1 attack and damage roll with the Minions' baseline attack; it gains 1 Advantage for each participant after the first and Armor Piercing equal to the number of participants. The target defends against the attack roll as it would against that baseline attack (Parry or Dodge, by the usual rules): on a success it takes half damage, and none only on a critical success.

Join the Swarm

Trigger: An allied Minion of the same type within Close declares a Swarm Attack against a target this Minion can also attack, and fewer than 3 have joined.

Costs 0 Reaction Points. This Minion joins the triggering Swarm Attack; doing so uses its turn for the round.

Pack Tactics

Once per round, its attack against a target adjacent to one of its allies is rolled with Fortune.

Pack Instinct

ME +1 if locally outnumbering the party; ME -1 if outnumbered (once per fight).

Statistics are worked out from level, rank and role (see the Adversaries chapter).
