Whisperer
The Whisperer is a master of secrets, an enigmatic figure who deftly navigates the shadowy world of whispers and half-truths like a skilled puppeteer pulling strings. Each bit of information they offer is priced and carefully crafted to entice and ensnare. What they choose to unveil is but a fragment of the whole truth, dressed up to captivate the curious and the desperate alike.
Their influence is elusive, a subtle presence that lingers in the air during hushed conversations and in cryptic messages scribbled in the dust of forgotten corners. The Whisperers don’t merely deal in knowledge; they peddle an aura of authenticity, ensuring that what they share feels genuine—even when the foundation is built on deception. With every whispered secret, they weave a tapestry of intrigue that leaves those around them fascinated and wary.

Veiled Truths: 1st - Passive - Glean - Self
The Whisperer's statements are never entirely false, but they are also not completely true. Any creature trying to determine whether the Whisperer is lying does so with disadvantage.
Unseen Cost: 2nd - Action - Glean - 12 Spaces
The Whisperer imparts a hidden cost onto a naive target. The Whisperer chooses a target within range. The target must succeed on an Influence check against the Whisperer's Glean die or take escalation damage each time they take an action until the start of the Whisperer's next turn.
Echoing Secrets: 3rd - Action - Influence - 6 Spaces
A whispered thought lingers, gradually becoming more pronounced over time. The Whisperer selects a foe who is concentrating on a power within range. The foe must succeed on a Glean check against the Whisperer’s Influence die, or the power they are focusing on ends prematurely.
Infernal Intervention: 4th - Reaction - Influence - 12 Spaces
The Whisperer provides a path forward. When an opponent within range fails a capacity check, the Whisperer can allow them to succeed instead. If the opponent chooses to accept this offer and succeeds, the Whisperer regains all lost Life Points and gains one capacity die of their choice.
Fabrication Engine: 5th - Action - Glean - Self - Focus - 10 Minutes
The Whisperer shapes reality by crafting intricate deceptions. For the duration of this power, the Whisperer can manipulate what any creature within range perceives through any or all of its senses. An affected creature can attempt to see through this manipulation as an action by making a Glean check contested by the Whisperer's Influence die. On a success, the affected creature is no longer influenced by this power and becomes immune to it for 1 minute.
