Fear is a tool for you to enhance the scene, create dramatic tension, and raise the stakes, not to shut down a PC’s heroic actions.”Also:“You can always improvise a Fear Feature for an adversary, even if they already have predetermined Fear Features.Just spend a Fear and come up with a big adversary move that might otherwise feel overpowered or arbitrary (see the upcoming “Improvising Fear Moves” section).”I do this a fair bit when a combat needs a little more verve or to highlight something in the fiction the adversary is filling. “Ok, I’m going to spend a Fear here to…” is like a magic phrase that gets buy in to do a big dramatic scene changing Thing that makes the players go “oooooh snap.”</blockquote>
