Features
Fiendish Nature - Passive: The Fiend has resistance to magic damage and can't be fooled by magic illusions.
Impersonate - Action: Spend a Fear to have the Fiend magically transform into a humanoid they have previously interacted with. A PC who targets the Fiend while they're in the form of a person the PC cares for must succeed on an Instinct Reaction Roll or the attack fails and the PC must mark a Stress.
Turn Invisible - Action: Mark a Stress to make the Fiend Hidden until they make an action roll or take damage.
Backhanded Guidance - Reaction: When a PC makes an action roll while the Fiend is in the scene, you can mark a Stress to add 1d6 to the result of their Fear Die.
Exposed! (Phase Change) - Reaction: When the Fiend is defeated or the PCs discover its true identity, replace the Fiend with Shapeshifting Fiend Revealed and immediately spotlight them.
