Used by creatures: Auntie Ethel

Notes

• This action disguises Auntie Ethel as Mayrina, applies  Hag's Trickery to both of them, and then shuffles their positions on the battlefield. Ethel can be immediately distinguished from the real Mayrina in a few ways:
  • The real Mayrina has 10 hit points while Ethel's disguise shows 8 hit points.
  • The real Mayrina will have a listed weight of 77 kg / 154 lb while the disguise will show as the default 75 kg / 150 lb.
  • The real Mayrina will be visibly pregnant, but Ethel's disguise is not.
• In addition, the behaviour of the real Mayrina and disguised Ethel will differ. Mayrina will cower in place, but Ethel will approach the party and then break her disguise with  Sinister Strike.
• Any conditions effecting Ethel will be dispelled by this action so lingering effects like  Hunter's Mark Quarry cannot be used to find Ethel.
• Auntie Ethel's disguise dissipates once damaged.
