Description

A nightmare can kick with its burning hooves dealing a Strength-based Damage rank of 10 with a Close Combat: Unarmed attack check. Following the initial strike, the subject suffers a secondary fire Damage effect of 6 which is penetrating (ignores impervious Toughness of rank 12 or less) as the subject (or their clothing) ignites.

The secondary effect is not Strength-based; do not add the nightmare’s Strength to this effect rank.
