Rather than retreat into grief, she formed the [[Council of Waterdeep]] to unite the traditionally fractious [[Five Factions]] against the dragon threat. **The Spymaster:** Her strategic brilliance made her the [[Harpers]]' primary coordinator for major operations. She recruited heroes like [[Auruiel]] for missions against [[Gar Shatterkeel]] and the [[Cult of the Crushing Wave]], and worked closely with [[Reg]] countering [[Graz'zt]]'s influence over [[Amn]] through [[Rhinnom Dannihyr]] and rooting out [[Mind Flayer]] infiltration of the [[Harpers]]. **The Open Lord:** Her leadership during the [[Oblivion War]] earned her appointment as Open Lord after [[Isabel Urnrayle]]'s retirement. **The Family:** Mother to [[Arthius Ulbrinter]] and [[Serenore Ulbrinter]]. Adopted [[Mya Haventree]], [[Jenks Haventree]], and [[Nat Haventree]], all of whom have become heroes in their own right. ## Key Info - Maintains covert [[Harpers|Harper]] communications through a silver raven figurine. - Has dealt with organizational infiltration before and won't be easily fooled twice. ## Stats *Medium Humanoid (Sun Elf), Lawful Good* **AC** 19 (*Shield*, ring of protection) | **HP** 240 (32d8 + 96) | **Speed** 30 ft. **CR** 15 (13,000 XP) | **Proficiency Bonus** +5 | STR | DEX | CON | INT | WIS | CHA | |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | 10 (+0) | 16 (+3) | 16 (+3) | 21 (+5) | 16 (+3) | 20 (+5) | **Saving Throws** Int +10, Wis +8, Cha +10 **Skills** Arcana +10, Deception +10, History +10, Insight +8, Perception +8, Persuasion +10 **Damage Resistances** Psychic **Condition Immunities** Charmed (Harper mind-wards) **Senses** Darkvision 60 ft.; Passive Perception 18 **Languages** Common, Elvish, Draconic, Undercommon, plus two others; telepathy 60 ft. (via silver raven) ### Traits **Magic Resistance.** Advantage on saves against spells and magical effects. **Fey Ancestry.** Advantage on saves against being Charmed; can't be magically put to sleep. **Silver Raven.** Remi can cast *Sending* at will through a silver raven figurine. ### Actions **Multiattack.** Remi casts a cantrip or a spell, then makes one *Arcane Bolt* attack. **Arcane Bolt.** *Ranged Spell Attack:* +10, range 120 ft. *Hit:* 27 (5d8 + 5) force damage. On a hit, Remi can end one spell of 3rd level or lower on the target (as *Dispel Magic*). **Spellcasting.** Remi casts one of the following, using Intelligence (spell save DC 18): At Will: *Counterspell*, *Detect Magic*, *Dispel Magic* 1/Day Each: *Banishment*, *Hypnotic Pattern*, *Wall of Force*, *Dominate Person*, *Teleport* ### Bonus Actions **Marshal.** Remi designates one ally she can see within 30 feet. That ally can immediately move up to half its Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks, or make one weapon attack. ### Reactions **Cutting Insight.** When a creature within 60 feet makes an attack roll, check, or save, Remi subtracts 1d8 + 5 from the result. ### Legendary Actions Remi can take 2 legendary actions, used at the end of another creature's turn; regained at the start of her turn. **Cantrip.** Remi casts a cantrip. **Rally the Faction (Costs 2 Actions).** Each ally within 30 feet gains 10 temporary hit points and can end one effect on itself that a save can end. ### Notes **Design target (CR 15):** benchmarks AC 19 / HP 240 / DC 18 / attack +11. Offense sits at benchmark; her value is control and force-multiplication, so raw DPR is intentionally below table. Run her as the party's patron most of the time — *Marshal*, *Rally the Faction*, and *Cutting Insight* make the whole table hit harder and survive longer. As an antagonist (domination, doppelganger, a duel of wills) she wins by *Banishment*, *Wall of Force*, and *Dominate*, never by trading blows. *Contingency* (usually *Greater Invisibility* or *Teleport* on taking 40+ damage) makes her nearly assassination-proof. %%
