Features

Blink Beast - Passive: When combat begins, place a duplicate within Close range of the Doppelhound. The Doppelhound occupies both its place and its duplicate's. The duplicate can move when the Doppelhound is spotlighted, and the Doppelhound can target enemies with attacks as if it were in its duplicate's place. When the Doppelhound or duplicate is attacked, the attacker rolls a d6. On an even result, they target the Doppelhound. On an odd result, they target the duplicate, and the attack fails. If an attack succeeds against the Doppelhound, the duplicate is dispelled until you spend a Fear to conjure it again.

Double Strike - Action: Mark a Stress to make two standard attacks. If both attacks succeed against the same target, combine the damage.
