Constrict [one-action] (unholy) 3d8+6 bludgeoning, DC 34Mental Synergy [free-action] (concentrate, spellshape) Frequency once per minute; Requirements The bdellavritra is possessing a host using Mind Worm; Effect If the bdellavritra’s next action is to Cast a Spell, they reduce the number of actions to cast it by 1 (minimum 1 action).Mind Worm (concentrate, incapacitation, mental, possession) The bdellavritra spends 10 minutes adjacent to an unconscious or willing living creature, then attempts to possess its body. This functions as possession heightened to 9th rank (DC 37 Will save), except that it has a duration of 1 month. If affected, the host receives new saving throws only at the start of each day. If the host dies, the bdellavritra must attempt a Fortitude save as normal but is only stunned 2 on a failure (or stunned 4 on a critical failure).Pleasant Voices [one-action] (auditory, concentrate, emotion, mental) Requirements The bdellavritra isn’t possessing a host; Effect One of the bdellavritra’s mouths sings to a living creature within 30 feet. Unless the target succeeds at a DC 37 Will save (with a +4 circumstance bonus if the devil or their allies recently threatened the target), they can’t use hostile actions against the bdellavritra for 1 round. The bdellavritra can Sustain this effect for up to 1 hour; each time they do, they can affect an additional target (maximum four targets). Each affected target can attempt a new saving throw to end the effect whenever they can’t hear the bdellavritra for 1 round or the devil uses a hostile action against one of them.
Belier Devils At War
While formidable in a fight, bdellavritras are at their most dangerous when possessing important figures within an opposing army. Taking command of political leaders to subvert support for a war effort or key commanders to undermine opponents’ military stratagems are but a few of their more obvious tactics. Belier devils seek to spread confusion and despair. Manipulating their victims to commit dishonorable or detestable acts, with the only defense being “I was possessed,” can cause confusion and shatter morale, even if an investigation proves the victim innocent.
