God Caller

The summoners called god callers have a magical link to eidolons, revered as gods by the people of Sarkoris. Though this NPC is based on Sarkorian god callers, they can be adapted to different types of summoners by changing out the eidolon for another creature and making thematic tweaks to skills and spells.

Bonded Eidolon The god caller fights alongside a mystical ally called an eidolon, most likely the beast eidolon. The eidolon has the standard number of actions, uses its normal stat block, and counts toward the encounter's XP budget normally. The eidolon must remain within 100 feet of the god caller, or its physical form will dissolve. The god caller can make their eidolon take form or disappear with the Manifest Eidolon action.

Sidebar - Advice and Rules God Callers And The Divine

Some spirits called by god callers of Sarkoris are divine beings capable of granting spells. Consider granting a god caller NPC a cleric focus spell appropriate to one of the god's domains if they worship such a deity (using the same DC and spell attack as their primal spells). For instance, the Stag Mother of the Forest of Stones might grant the savor the sting domain spell from the pain domain.

Mystic

Source NPC Core pg. 96
Hidden secrets and occult powers have an irresistible lure for many. Since the majority of these NPCs are spellcasters, consider using alternative spell lists to adjust their themes.

Several of the NPCs elsewhere in NPC Core can fit well in this group: Bone mother (level 6), gourd leshy witch (level 6), tripkee fiend keeper (level 7)

Sidebar - Additional Lore Guests Beware

Most intelligent creatures follow basic customs of hospitality, such as not attacking a guest who has dined under their roof. Even the most sinister fey creature is loath to break such customs, though eating meals with the fey is often fraught with its own dangers. Others have fewer scruples and might employ poisons, curses, or potions as seasoning for unwitting dinner guests.

Sidebar - Related Creatures Mystic Protection

Most mystics aren't particularly skilled in combat and might hire or ensorcel bodyguards, such as the bodyguard (level 1), archer sentry (level 2), musketeer (level 3), tournament combatant (level 5), knight (level 7), or hero hunter (level 13).

The following are rituals sometimes cast by mystic groups. Those from Monster Core are available only to appropriate celestials and fiends within the organizations.

Sidebar - Advice and Rules Sinister Rituals

Most rituals have a simple gp cost and associated skill checks. But what if a desperate NPC is willing to offer something more macabre, such as lives, souls, or worse? Such a nefarious ritual uses a normal ritual as a baseline, but the DCs and proficiency requirements might be reduced or waived entirely, as might any gp cost.
