ATK: 2 | Tide-Pull: Close | 1d8+1 oth

Features

Echo Return - Passive: When a PC speaks directly to the Echo — addressing it by name, or acknowledging what it lost — it pauses for one round and cannot act. Two such acknowledgements in the same encounter release it without combat.

Lungwater Drag - Reaction: When a PC rolls with Fear within Close range, the GM gains 1 Fear.

False Memory (Fear Move — 1 Fear) - Action: Target PC marks 1 Stress and cannot use their Experience for one round — they are lost in someone else's past.
