Assassins are masters in the art of slipping past their opponents’ defenses to inflict terrible pain and deadly strikes. When an assassin marks someone for death, they pursue their prey with unwavering intent.
On a successful weapon attack, you can mark a Stress to make the target Marked for Death. Attacks you make against a target that’s Marked for Death gain a bonus to damage equal to +1d4 per tier.
You can only have one adversary Marked for Death at a time, and can’t transfer or remove the condition except by defeating the target. The GM can spend a number of Fear equal to your Proficiency to remove the Marked for Deathcondition. Otherwise, it ends automatically when you take a rest.
