Xir + Twink

The Shadow Witch
PC
PC Lacusta
Kintargo in Ravounel

There's a special irony that comes when a hunter of the undead becomes afflicted by the very curse they seek to eradicate, and Xir is that contradiction made flesh. Inheriting some of her father's vampiric powers, she has taken up the family mantle; hunting down the undead, putting them to rest whether they like it or not.

Using the rituals of an ancient magical practice, she has made a pact with and incredibly powerful and otherworldly being named Mahathallah . Her familiar, Twink, mediates this pact, and imparts powers onto the young (by elven standards) witch. In exchange for her patronage, Mahathallah simply asked for a single favor. Xir knew full well the implications of owing a deific being undisclosed aid but took the deal, now plagued by dread of the day that debt is called in.

She's always watching, a shadow in Twink's eyes.

Abilities

Elf

Elven Verve - Elf Feat

While all elves are immune to the paralyzing touch of ghouls, you can shake off flesh-numbing magic of all kinds. You gain a +1 circumstance bonus to saves against effects that would impose the immobilized, paralyzed, or slowed conditions. When you would be immobilized, paralyzed, or slowed for at least 2 rounds, reduce that duration by 1 round.

Hexes

Phase Familiar

Reaction; somatic; Trigger Your familiar would take damage.
Range 60 feet; Targets your familiar

You draw upon your patron's power to momentarily shift your familiar from its solid, physical form into an ephemeral version of itself shaped of mist. Your familiar gains resistance 5 to all damage and is immune to precision damage. These apply only against the triggering damage.

Heightened (+1) Increase the resistance by 2.

Shroud of Night

1 Action; somatic
Range 30 feet; Targets 1 creature
Saving Throw Will; Duration sustained up to 1 minute

Drawing your hand in a sweeping gesture, you shroud the target in a veil of night. The target's eyes are blanketed in darkness. If you cast this hex on a willing ally (for instance, one with light blindness), the ally can choose which result it gets without rolling. Regardless of the outcome, the target is then temporarily immune for 1 minute.

Success The target is unaffected.
Failure The target is shrouded in murky darkness. Unless the target has darkvision, other creatures are concealed to it.

Unorganised

Diehard - Feat

It takes more to kill you than most. You die from the dying condition at dying 5, rather than dying 4.

Schooled In Secrets - Feat

You notice the signs and symbols that members of mystery cults and other secret societies use to declare their affiliation to fellow members. You can use Occultism in place of Diplomacy to Gather Information about such groups. If you belong to a secret cult, lodge, sect, or similar organization, you automatically recognize members of your group unless they are specifically attempting to conceal their presence from you.

Witch

Patron of Night - Witch's Patron

You weren't born with the power to cast spells, nor have you spent years in devotion to tomes, deities, or mystical secrets. Your power comes through a potent being that has chosen you as their vessel to carry forth some agenda in the world. This entity is typically mysterious and distant, revealing little of their identity and motivations, and they grant you spells and other magical powers through a familiar, which serves as a conduit for their power.

A patron might be a deity or demigod, a coven of powerful hags, a fey lord, an archdevil, or a similarly powerful entity, or perhaps multiple such figures working in tandem. As you gain more of your patron's power, you might learn more about who or what they are—certain combinations of themes and lessons suggest particular patrons or agendas—but patrons empower witches for their own secretive reasons, which they rarely reveal in full.

Your patron speaks from the shadows, granting you power over darkness and dreams.

Familiar Language - Class Feat

You've learned to speak with your familiar and other creatures like it. You can ask questions of, receive answers from, and use the Diplomacy skill with creatures of the same family of animals as your familiar. For example, if your familiar were a cat, you could gain the effects of speak with animals for any felines (including leopards, lions, and tigers, among others). This ability doesn't make them more friendly than normal. If your familiar ever changes to a different creature, you can't use this ability for 1 week while you absorb your new familiar's language.

Special This feat has the trait corresponding to the tradition of spells you cast (occult).

Witch's Familiar

Twink the Nosoi Psychopomp - Familiar

Nosoi

Nosois, also known as scribe psychopomps, death's messengers, and yanakeion, are Psychopomps who serve as scribes and messengers for Pharasma. They record the deaths of every mortal and keep records of Pharasma's judgments on them.

Nosois have the bodies of masked songbirds, including whipoorwills, crows, and sparrows, and as such typically are about one foot long; however, they weigh between 10 and 15 pounds, much more than their  animalcounterparts. Many craft large decorative tails from various materials that trail trinkets behind them in flight.

A nosoi resembles a whippoorwill, sparrow, or other small bird wearing a heavy leather plague doctor’s mask. They are the clerks, messengers, and scribes of the Boneyard, witnessing judgments, directing souls, and generally performing the administrative grunt work that keeps the Boneyard functioning. Most nosois are particularly chatty and eager to discuss how important they consider their individual assignments to be.

Twink has the following abilities:

  • Darkvision - It has Darkvision
  • Flier - It has 25ft fly speed.
  • Manual Dexterity - It can use its feet to perform Manipulate actions.
  • Speech - It can speak every language you know.

Damage 1d4 P; Bulk L
Hands 1
Category Simple
Group Knife

This small, bladed weapon is held in one hand and used to stab a creature in close combat. It can also be thrown.

Traits

Agile:

The multiple attack penalty you take with this weapon on the second attack on your turn is –4 instead of –5, and –8 instead of –10 on the third and subsequent attacks in the turn.

Finesse:

You can use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls using this melee weapon. You still use your Strength modifier when calculating damage.

Thrown 10 ft.:

You can throw this weapon as a ranged attack, and it is a ranged weapon when thrown. A thrown weapon adds your Strength modifier to damage just like a melee weapon does. When this trait appears on a melee weapon, it also includes the range increment. Ranged weapons with this trait use the range increment specified in the weapon’s Range entry.

Versatile S:

A versatile weapon can be used to deal a different type of damage than that listed in the Damage entry. This trait indicates the alternate damage type. For instance, a piercing weapon that is versatile S can be used to deal piercing or slashing damage. You choose the damage type each time you make an attack.

Usage affixed to a weapon
Activate  envision; Trigger You critically succeed at an attack roll with the affixed weapon

This claw set in an iron clasp and chain isn’t always the claw of an owlbear. When you activate the claw, the triggering attack gains the weapon’s critical specialization effect.

Xir + Twink

This wand holds the Time Jump spell.

Time Jump

Traditions arcane, occult
Cast; 1 Action; verbal

You leap forward a few seconds in time, appearing across the battlefield in the blink of an eye. You gain 2 actions, each of which must be used to Leap, Stand, Step, or Stride. If you have an appropriate Speed, you can add Burrow, Climb, Fly, or Swim to this list.

While you take these actions, time pauses. All other creatures are completely unaware of your actions, can't speak, and can't use any actions that would be triggered by your movement. While you're taking these actions, you can't take any other actions, including any that would be triggered by the move actions. Once the actions are complete, time starts again, and to onlookers, you seem to have suddenly teleported across the distance you traveled. Leaping forward through time is disorienting, so if you use time jump again within 1 minute of using the spell, you become stupefied 4 for 1 minute.
