Stake Out
Teachable by David Tapp
Builds tokens near the Killer unseen to improve Great Skill Checks.
Description
"Getting close to the Killer fills you with determination."
Staying in the Terror Radius and within 24 metres of the Killer without being chased grants +1 Token every 15 seconds, up to a maximum of 2/3/4 Tokens.
While performing a skilful interaction that can trigger Skill Checks, you benefit from the following effects:
- Replaces regular Skill Checks with special Skill Checks.
- These Skill Checks grant +4 % more progress on success.
- Succeeding or missing a special Skill Check consumes -1 Token.
"I had you, I had you on your knees. You're runnin' scared because we had you. We're gonna close this case!" — Detective David Tapp
