Features

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

Terrifying Shriek - Action: Spend a Fear to have the Wyvern let out a spine-chilling screech. All PCs within Far range are Terrified until they succeed on a Presence Roll (18) to clear the condition or the Wyvern is defeated. While Terrified, a PC doesn't gain a Hope when they roll with Hope.

Clutch - Reaction: When the Wyvern makes a successful attack against a PC, you can spend a Fear to have the Wyvern Restrain the target in its claws until the PC succeeds on a Strength Roll (18) or the Wyvern takes Major or greater damage. While Restrained in this way, the PC has disadvantage on attack rolls.
