Dreadful Gaze

Type: Complication (Influence)
The adversary’s stare freezes their victim in place. The actual cause and effect may vary, applying either the Awed or Immobilized status effect: a gorgon may petrify its victims, while those captivated by an incubus are overwhelmed with lust. In any case, the target can’t break from the creature’s stare.

If the adversary takes a mixed action, moves further than short range, takes any damage, or otherwise loses eye contact, its target is freed. The target must be able to see the adversary, otherwise the power has no effect.

For Terrors, Nightmares, and Shattered Spaces, the adversary can inflict any one of the Awed, Exhausted, Immobilized, or Stunned status effects on its target when activating this power.
