Divoynik

Telepathy 100 feet (aura, magical, mental)

Cracked Mirror A divoynik has weakness 3 to physical attacks made by a creature whose form they're mimicking, and the mimicked creature gains weakness 3 to physical attacks made by the divoynik.

Savor Anguish ⟲ (concentrate, mental) Trigger A creature within 30 feet of the divoynik fails a saving throw against an emotion effect

Effect The divoynik feeds on their victim's mental distress, gaining 5 temporary Hit Points for up to 1 minute. They can feed on a given creature's emotions only once every 24 hours.

Sudden Betrayal A divoynik can always use Deception when rolling initiative, as long as at least one enemy doesn't know their true nature. On the first round of combat, if the divoynik rolled Deception for initiative, creatures that haven't acted are Off-Guard to the divoynik.

Melee ◆ fist +11 (agile), Damage 1d10+5 bludgeoning

Occult Innate Spells DC 20; 3rd mind reading (at will)

Change Shape ◆ (concentrate, occult, polymorph) The divoynik can take on the specific appearance of any Small or Medium animal or humanoid they've seen. This doesn't change their Speed or their attack and damage bonuses with their Strikes, but it might change the damage type their Strikes deal (such as to slashing with a claw).

Window to the Soul ◆ (mental, occult, visual) The divoynik meets the gaze of a creature within 60 feet whose form they've taken with their Change Shape ability. The target must attempt a DC 20 Will saving throw.

Critical Success The target is unaffected and immune for 24 hours.

Success The target is unaffected.

Failure The target is Fascinated for 1 minute. Hostile actions do not end this fascination, but if the divoynik Changes Shape, moves out of range, or is no longer visible to the target, the fascination immediately ends. While fascinated, the target takes a –1 circumstance penalty to Will saves against the divoynik's spells and abilities.

Critical Failure As failure, and the divoynik can spend a free action to telepathically extract the answer to one question from the target. The target can attempt a DC 20 Deception check to attempt to evade the query and give misleading information.
