![[SpiteDraevenPathfinder-v2.webp]] # Spite Draeven _Tiefling Bard | [[Maidens of Misfortune]] | [[Grand Dame]]_ ## Summary Tiefling bard abandoned by [[Neverwinter]]'s Musical Conservatory for her supernatural ability to cause misfortune through music. Served as [[Beregond]]'s muse and performed as "Vexandra Nightfall" at the [[Grand Dame]] casino. One of the few [[Doombringers]] captured alive during the battle at the [[Fool's Fortune]] — taken prisoner by the heroes for interrogation. %% ## Now Prisoner of the heroes, taken alive at the [[Fool's Fortune]] for interrogation. ## Appearance Tall tiefling with violet skin that shimmers in casino light, black curling horns adorned with silver chains, and amber eyes that flicker like dying candle flames. Moves like a dancer; her voice is like honey over broken glass. ## Personality Darkly playful, manipulative, and artistically cruel. Born during a rare blood moon, her ability to cause misfortune by humming got her cast out of the conservatory after a performance collapsed part of the concert hall ceiling. She can see fortune's threads connecting people and severs them with enchanted obsidian scissors disguised as a hairpin. ## Quote _"Fortune is such a fragile thing, don't you agree? Like fine crystal—beautiful to behold until the moment it shatters in your hands."_ ## Connections **[[Beregond]]** — served as his muse. ## Stats *Medium Humanoid (Tiefling), Chaotic Evil — cursed bard of the [[Doombringers]].* **AC** 15 | **HP** 112 (15d8 + 45) | **Speed** 30 ft. **CR** 8 (3,900 XP) | **Proficiency Bonus** +3 | STR | DEX | CON | INT | WIS | CHA | |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | 10 (+0) | 16 (+3) | 16 (+3) | 13 (+1) | 12 (+1) | 18 (+4) | **Saving Throws** Dex +6, Cha +7 **Skills** Performance +7, Deception +7 **Senses** Passive Perception 11 **Languages** Common, Infernal ### Actions **Multiattack.** Spite makes two attacks, using Rapier or Cursed Melody in any combination. **Rapier.** *Melee Attack Roll:* +6, reach 5 ft. *Hit:* 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing plus 9 (2d8) psychic damage. **Cursed Melody.** *Wisdom Saving Throw:* DC 15, one creature within 60 feet. *Failure:* 18 (4d8) psychic damage and Disadvantage on its next attack. **Symphony of Misfortune (Recharge 5–6).** *Wisdom Saving Throw:* DC 15, each creature in a 30-foot radius. *Failure:* 22 (5d8) psychic damage and the Frightened condition until the end of its next turn. *Success:* half damage. ### Bonus Actions **Sever Luck.** One creature within 30 feet makes a DC 15 Charisma save or has Disadvantage on its next d20 roll. ### Reactions **Discordant Counter.** When a creature within 30 feet rolls a natural 20, Spite forces it to reroll. ### Notes CR 8 psychic controller — he debuffs, frightens, and quietly steals crits with Discordant Counter.
