How to use this creature in practice
Ranged stack requiring usable line of sight
Medusa Sculptor needs line of sight to an important target. Position the screen against actual enemy reach; repeated ranged actions matter only when the enemy cannot quickly engage it.
Watch for: Distance, obstacles, engagement and ammunition are separate conditions. A ranged attribute alone does not guarantee full damage against every target.
Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan
Speed 4 and Initiative 5 govern different parts of the turn. This profile lists ability costs of 1/2 Focus charges; compare them with the shared pool, cooldown and competing activations.
- Slither Away: Moves to another hex within its movement range. The ability and creature movement traits determine how that relocation works. Cost: 1 Focus charge(s); cooldown: 1 round(s).
- Petrification: Makes a melee attack and petrifies the victim for the round. The victim skips its turn, resists Magic damage and receives double damage from basic attacks. Cost: 2 Focus charge(s); cooldown: 2 round(s).
