Hello! Got a copy of UMBRAL and I find it fascinating! It adds so much to the region :)

I do have a couple of questions regarding some enemy keywords that are not defined, such as SHIFT, PACIFY, VULNERABLE, PROTECTION.

I was wondering if you could answer to what they mean?

Thank you :D

Hey! First off, thank you for downloading and reading my product! 🙏

The keywords SURVIVE, PACIFY, VULNERABLE, and SHIFT are presented and explained on page 07 of the book.

PROTECTION was supposed to be PROTECT, which is a keyword included in the base NOVA game. This mistake will be corrected in the next revised version of the supplement.

Thank you again. If you have any other questions or problems, please get in touch again!
