| Notes | Lore: The Nargan Desert is infamous for the Sikkanos winds, which carry searing dust, ashes, and poison gas. The Stranglers are invisible, malicious wind spirits that ride the Sikkanos, seeking to suffocate the life out of travelers who dare enter the wastes. Mechanics & Abilities: Covert: The spirit uses its Stealth skill to hide seamlessly within the natural howling of the wind and the blinding dust storms, making it almost impossible to detect until it attacks. Curse (Action Points): Upon passive possession, the spirit coats the victim's lungs in phantom ash. It lowers the victim's Action Points, simulating the suffocating, exhausting effects of breathing poison gas, leaving them sluggish and unable to fight effectively. Passion (Grief): To ensure its victims simply give up and die in the sands, the spirit weaponizes the lingering sorrow of the destroyed empire. It instills an overwhelming Passion of Grief. The victim becomes passively suicidal, dropping their weapons and refusing to seek shelter or drink water as the storm consumes them. |
