Description

“If I were to ferry you across the river you would be as good as dead, for the region is haunted by erbs and grues.”

        —Busiacos elder

As a large creature, grues posses the following bonuses and penalties (all taken into account in its traits above):

        • +4 Strength

        • +4 Stamina

        • +2 Intimidation

        • -4 Stealth

        • -2 Dodge

        • -2 Parry

        • +4 mass rank (mass 6)

        •+1 size rank (size -1)

In addition, a grue gains Enhanced Intimidation 6 when standing upright and not using its Speed 3 rank via the Swift as Night power.

Note: This power represents two distinct effects packaged together for thematic reasons; they are not linked. If the cost of these separate effects becomes important (due to a power stunt or Weaken effect, for example) they are respectively a 2 point sustained effect and 4 permanent effect (which cannot be used to generate a power stunt).
