Abilities

+2 Bonus on Perception to Spot Fish
Fishhooked — While it has persistent bleed damage from the fisher's fishing line Strike, a creature has a fishhook embedded in it. The creature can't move farther away from the fisher (though it can move laterally). The fisher can reel the creature in as a single action with the attack and manipulate trait, attempting an Athletics check against the creature's Fortitude DC. On a success, the creature takes 2d4 slashing damage and is pulled 10 feet closer to the fisher (double the damage and distance on a critical success).

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLANDA frontline defender holds a foe's attention while this controller's tether prevents that same foe from disengaging any farther.
FlankerLANDA mobile striker can close in on a target that has already been tethered and can't retreat, guaranteeing favorable follow-up positioning.

PUNISHES

✖ kiting✖ retreating out of melee
Stacking multiple tether-based controllers on the same target wastes actions once that target is already prevented from retreating.
