This ability allows the creature to move through areas of shadow. The distance traveled is equal to 10 feet multiplied by the creature's level (LVL x 3 meters). This ability only functions in the presence of darkness.
When fighting for its survival, after taking enough hits, the Surprise erupts razor-sharp spines from its skin. These thin, metal-like spikes automatically add an additional damage score (1D4 hit points) to each use of the "Backlash" ability.
In addition, if the Surprise has suffered a first attack since the beginning of the encounter: each opponent coming into contact with the Surprise must make a DEX (10) roll to avoid being injured again by its spikes. This test must be repeated at the start of each turn as long as the opponent remains nearby.
When more than one opponent makes contact with the creature in the same turn, the creature moves and pivots with the same force as the first attacker. It will automatically slam its metal frame against the second opponent that makes contact. Use the same physical damage roll on the second opponent that you used against Surprise during the attack. (The creature still takes the initial damage roll from the first attacker.)
Piochant dans son immense répertoire de visages, la Malédiction modifie l'un de ses visages pour s'adapter aux réactions de son adversaire jusqu'à trouver l'apparence qui a le plus d'impact sur lui (frayeur, pitié, tristesse). La victime subit un malus de force lors d'une attaque pour les 3 prochains tours (jet de sagesse de 15 pour annuler l'effet, ou si la Malédiction change de cible)
Utilisant toutes les voix à sa disposition, la Malédiction lance une cacophonie assourdissante qui étourdit sa cible durant 2 tours (jet de constitution de 15+ pour annuler l'effet)
