Trigger A creature within range is hit by an attack from an enemy.


The target appears to fall down dead, though it actually turns Invisible. Its illusory corpse remains where it fell, complete with a believable fatal wound. This illusion looks and feels like a dead body. If the target's death seems absurd—for instance, a barbarian at full health appears to be slain by 2 damage—the GM can grant the attacker an immediate perception check to disbelieve the illusion. If the target uses hostile actions, the spell ends. This ends the entire spell, so the illusory corpse disappears too.


Heightened (7th) The spell doesn't end if the target uses a hostile action.

Effects and magic items with this trait involve false sensory stimuli.

Manipulate

You must physically manipulate an item or make gestures to use an action with this trait. Creatures without a suitable appendage can't perform actions with this trait. Manipulate actions often trigger reactions.

Subtle

A spell with the subtle trait can be cast without incantations and doesn't have obvious manifestations.

Visual

A visual effect can affect only creatures that can see it. This applies only to visible parts of the effect, as determined by the GM.
