Change Shape [one-action] (concentrate, divine, polymorph) The ochiastis can take the appearance of any Small or Medium humanoid creature. This doesn't change the ochiastis's Speed or their attack and damage bonuses with their claw Strike but might change the damage type this Strike deals (typically to bludgeoning). They lose their quill Strike. Creatures that Grapple the ochiastis or otherwise touch their back gain a +4 circumstance bonus to see through their disguise.Hunt Prey [one-action] The ochiastis designates a single creature as its prey and focuses its attacks against that creature. The ochiastis must be able to see or hear the prey, or it must be tracking the prey during exploration. It gains a +2 circumstance bonus to Perception checks when it Seeks its prey and a +2 circumstance bonus to Survival checks when it Tracks its prey. It also ignores the penalty for making ranged attacks within the second range increment against the prey it's hunting. The ochiastis can have only one creature designated as its prey at a time. If it uses Hunt Prey against a creature when it already have a creature designated, the prior creature loses the designation and the new prey gains the designation. The designation lasts until the ochiastis's next daily preparations.Ochiastis Venom (poison, virulent) Saving Throw DC 36 Fortitude; Maximum Duration 6 rounds; Stage 1 enfeebled 1 and off-guard (1 round); Stage 2 enfeebled 2 and off-guard (1 round); Stage 3 enfeebled 2, off-guard, and slowed 1 (1 round); Stage 4 enfeebled 3 and paralyzed (1 round)Sneak Attack An ochiastis's Strikes deal an additional 3d6 precision damage against off-guard creatures.
Quills And Covers
Since so many ochiastises don accessories to hide their quills, these devils often invest in magical cloaks, capes, and even backpacks that adventurers might repurpose. In addition, an assassin devil’s quills have exceptional acupuncture and anesthetic properties. Properly harvested, such quills can provide up to 500 gp in raw materials for Crafting marvelous medicines.
