+Duplicators make illusionary copies of themselves to mislead and confuse those who would do them harm, essentially making self-defense into a shell game. While the combat uses of such an ability are obvious, a devious and creative player could no doubt find many other applications for such a trick.

-^{{ra>eye-shield?48|Protection}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Mirror Image:** As an action, you create an illusionary duplicate of yourself in any adjacent space that looks, moves, sounds, and acts exactly like you.

If a creature has any extraordinary sense from one of its abilities (such as but not limited to the [[Survivor]]'s Scent, the [[Burrower]]'s Tremorsense, or the [[Undead]]'s Lifesight then it is not fooled by this ability and can easily tell the real thing from the fakes. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Short-Lived:** Duplicates expire naturally on their own at the end of the current exploration turn. If a duplicate takes any amount of damage for any reason before its natural expiration, it is immediately destroyed. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Limited Autonomy:** Your duplicates go where you go and do what you do. They cannot ever get more than 1 meter away from either you or another duplicate of you, and if circumstances force them to do so they are immediately destroyed. Duplicates are not self-aware and cannot hold a conversation for long, as they just spout random phrases that you also tend to say. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Supplies:** Roll a trigger die whenever you create a duplicate with this ability.

 ^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Blood Drops:** You can create duplicates out of your own energy rather than your supplies. Every time you create a duplicate, you can choose to spend one Energy instead of rolling to (potentially) spend Supplies. Energy invested in a duplicate in this manner cannot be reclaimed or healed back in any way until the duplicate is destroyed, but once the duplicate is destroyed you instantly heal it back. You can choose to destroy a decoy (and reclaim the invested Energy) freely at any time during your turn if desired. Creating duplicates in this manner does not require you to have any Supply remaining. |

+^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Useful Limbs:** You may use any ability through one of your duplicates instead of personally. The ability still requires an action and/or resources as normal, but it occurs from the location of one of your duplicates instead of from your own location. This can be useful to get a more advantageous angle, extend effective range, or just to further confuse onlookers as to which one of you is real. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Strain:** Roll a trigger die whenever you have a duplicate take an action for you (or if the action they're taking involves rolling a trigger die for any reason, just use the results of that one).
