-Harbinger attacks are unique in that the time between making the attack and executing it is not instantaneous. In exchange for on-demand dependability, this weapon doesn't generally use or require Supplies and can provide several interesting tactical options unavailable elsewhere.+^{{ra>key?48|Possible Keystones}} |1. Thesis of famed playwright. \\ 2.

-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Delayed Attack:** As an action, you may pronounce doom against any target in order to set up a future Remote attack on them. This action counts as a normal attack action for purposes of double attacking or any other abilities that affect attack actions. Unlike other weapons, the attack is not resolved immediately. If it helps, write down which targets you've set up attacks on so you can remember more easily later. You can freely pronounce doom on a single target multiple times to set up multiple attacks. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Doom-Shaka-Laka:** At the beginning of each turn, roll a trigger die. If the result is 9+, every attack you've previously set up is immediately executed on their target(s) as a free action. If you don't want to execute some or any of your set up attacks during a turn, you don't have to. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Shifting Circumstance:** Your attack is resolved when it arrives, not when it was set up. You roll the attack's trigger die when it happens, and its damage is determined by the current Escalation when it happens rather than when it is set up. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Just To Be Clear:** The trigger die you roll to see if your attack arrives is separate from the trigger die you roll to resolve your attack. You don't get to keep the result from one and apply it to the other. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Conditions:** When the trigger die is 10+, this weapon inflicts its wielder's choice of the Afraid, Dizzy, or Vulnerable conditions to its target. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Backstab:** If you attack a target that cannot see you, you deal +2 damage. Like other attack effects, what's important is that the target cannot see you when the attack arrives, not when you set it up. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Inexorable:** Attacks with this weapon ignore failure chances from concealment, cover, and shields (as the [[Shieldbearer]] class).

-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Attack Pump:** One attack arriving opens the door to others, making them appear in groups more readily. Whenever one of your attacks arrive for any reason (including you forcing the issue by spending Supplies), the single next arrival check you make succeeds on a result of 5+ instead of 9+. If this leads to another attack successfully arriving, then the effect persists to the next one you check for, and so on. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Fast Reset:** The effect of Cascade fades at the beginning of each of your turns. |+^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**The Dam Leaks:** When you roll the trigger die to see if your attacks arrive and the result is 5-8, one previously set attack of your choice arrives instead of none of them as usual. |
