Traits

Contractual Boss Resistance: The Adversary is resistant to effects that would rob them of their free will, teleport them, read/detect their thoughts, or nullify this effect unless they allow it. If necessary to translate to mechanics, this counts as two Flaws dice.

Spymaster: The Archagent imposes two Flaws dice to any attempts to read their mind, tell if they are lying, and any methods to extract information from them.

Grievous Wounds: This creature inflicts Grievous Wounds with certain attacks. This is a unique condition; when it reaches three stacks, it resets and the target takes 2*Level true damage. Lasts until a short rest.

Royal Orders: This creature grants Order with certain actions. This is a unique resource that is expended to perform certain abilities.

Description

There must have been a mistake, that such an opponent was formerly a paper pusher. Or perhaps they knew such a profession would drive them berserk.

One such as this could slay sovereigns.
