astronavigatrix Posted February 5 Clone Share Posted February 5 (edited) Nilashareth of the Iron Hand "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." Gender: Female Age: 26 Race: Kalashtar Alignment: Neutral Good Class: Cleric Background: Inquisitor Arch Seraph: Morael Passive Perception/Investigation: 14 Passive Insight: 16 HP: 24 (8+5+5) (2+2+2) Hit Dice: 1d8 AC: 16 Initiative: 1d20+0 Size: Medium Speed: 30 feet Abilities & Skills Proficiency Bonus: +2 STR 13 (+1) DEX 11 (+0) CON 14 (+2) INT 10 (+0) WIS 19 (+4) CHA 12 (+1) +1 Saves +0 Saves +2 Saves +0 Saves +3 Saves +1 Saves +1 Athletics +0 Acrobatics +0 Sleight of Hand +0 Stealth +0 Arcana +0 History +0 Investigation +0 Nature +2 Religion +4 Animal Handling +6 Insight +4 Medicine +4 Perception +4 Survival +1 Deception +3 Intimidation +1 Performance +3 Persuasion Proficiencies Languages Class Feats Race & Feats Light armor medium armor heavy armor simple weapons martial weapons shields Higher Bürach Quori Celestial Abyssal Eyes of NightYou can see through the deepest gloom. You have darkvision out to a range of 300 feet. In that radius, you can see in dim light as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. As an action, you can magically share the darkvi sion of this feature with willing creatures you can see within 10 feet of you, up to a number of crea tures equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one creature). The shared darkvision lasts for 1 hour. Once you share it, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of any level to share it again. Vigilant BlessingThe night has taught you to be vigilant. As an action, you give one creature you touch (including possibly yourself) advantage on the next initiative roll the creature makes. This benefit ends immediately after the roll or if you use this feature again. Channel Divinity: Turn UndeadAs an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action. Channel Divinity: Twilight SanctuaryYou can use your Channel Divinity to refresh your allies with soothing twilight. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and a sphere of twilight emanates from you. The sphere is centered on you, has a 30-foot radius, and is filled with dim light. The sphere moves with you, and it lasts for 1 minute or until you are incapacitated or die. Whenever a creature (including you) ends its turn in the sphere, you can grant that creature one of these benefits: • You grant it temporary hit points equal to ld6 plus your cleric level. • You end one effect on it causing it to be charmed or frightened. Dual MindYou have advantage on all Wisdom saving throws. Mental DisciplineYou have resistance to psychic damage. Mind LinkYou can speak telepathically to any creature you can see, provided the creature is within a number of feet of you equal to 10 times your level. You don't need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language. When you're using this trait to speak telepathically to a creature, you can use your action to give that creature the ability to speak telepathically with you for 1 hour or until you end this effect as an action. To use this ability, the creature must be able to see you and must be within this trait's range. You can give this ability to only one creature at a time; giving it to a creature takes it away from another creature who has it. Severed From DreamsKalashtar sleep, but they don't connect to the plane of dreams as other creatures do. Instead, their minds draw from the memories of their otherworldly spirit while they sleep. As such, you are immune to spells and other magical effects that require you to dream, like dream, but not to spells and other magical effects that put you to sleep, like sleep. Boon: Celestial FormYour Wisdom score increases by 2 and your Constitution score increases by 1. You become a Celestial in addition to any other creature types you are. Spells and abilities that affect Celestials of a specific CR have no effect on you. Boon: Angelic WingsYou have manifested feathered wings. You have a flying speed equal to your normal speed. You cannot wear armour or clothing that has not been modified to accommodate your wings. Flaw: Planar BindingYour body and soul are bound to a divine plane of existence. You have disadvantage on death saving throws as the plane attempts to pull you back to it. If you would be killed, your soul has been taken back to a plane of existence of the GM’s choice. This plane is your new home, and you become an NPC under the GM’s control. If you are on the divine plane responsible for your transformation, this flaw has no effect. War CasterYou have practiced casting spells in the midst of combat, learning techniques that grant you the following benefits: You have advantage on Constitution saving throws that you make to maintain your concentration on a spell when you take damage. You can perform the somatic components of spells even when you have weapons or a shield in one or both hands. When a hostile creature's movement provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use your reaction to cast a spell at the creature, rather than making an opportunity attack. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action and must target only that creature.

Flaw: I speak without really thinking through my words, invariably insulting others. TALENT- Astute Intuition. Whenever you make a Wisdom (Insight) check while trying to detect a lie from Aristocrats, Criminals, or Common Folk, you can add your Profession Die to the roll. Character Overview Nilashareth doesn't remember the earliest years of her life- a time of terror over which a pall of terror is cast. This is the only thing she knows of it, that even trying to remember will bring her only a sense of fear and helplessness. Instead she remembers that the last time she saw her mother, she looked terrified. That the last time she saw her uncle, he looked haunted. Her cousins, much younger than her by far, remember even less- only that their older cousin, who had come to them after the eventual death of her parents, was all that was left to take care of them after. That she'd kept them hidden, until the members of the House of the Hearth came. Only Nilashareth remembers the frustration in the face of the paladin as the children were left behind after the investigation conducted by his fellows. How he returned under the cover of night, with food and blankets and the intent to spirit them away. While she didn't understand then, every day since she's been old enough to understand, she's given a prayer of gratitude to the Arch Seraph for his kind heart. The town Old Kon took them to was small- little more than a middle of the road stopover on the way to several larger, more populated towns en route to the greater cities. The community there was close-knit and somewhat insular, but welcoming to all those who were willing to consider their worship of Morael. And while Old Kon wasn't keen on religion as he once had been, he'd taken the children to sermons and the like to ensure they would fit in with the rest. And over time, as the children grew, so did the town around them as more and more people stopped at their little town for longer than they ever intended. With Nilashareth's nearly single-minded devotion to the church, came more and greater expectations from her superiors. As a Cleric of the faith, she was sent along with a small contingent to help spread the word of the Arch Seraph to another small community. At first, things were uneventful. She followed the priests, helped spread the word and their message. But all was not as it seemed. In the dead of night, the Nightmare descended on them, wearing the skin of a young woman from the town, still not fully finished with its transformation, yet determined- for whatever reason- to get to Nilashareth. In the ensuing scuffle, after two of their party had been slain in their sleep, only she and one of the priests came out alive, but not unscathed. The priest lost an eye and a lot of blood, and one of Nilashareth's arms was flayed almost to the bone in some places. Help was sent for the next morning, and when they eventually returned, it was doubted that her arm would ever work the same again. However, the brother of the priest whose life she'd been responsible for saving- a blacksmith- offered his help, and with some of the other clerics and the town's physician, metal was soldered and grafted onto Nilashareth's ruined arm, covering it from fingertips to nearly her bicep in blackened steel. Once her convalescence was complete, Nilashareth returned to work for the church, more undaunted than ever and for her intent and efforts was inducted into the Inquisitors. While she still performs her duties for the church thoroughly, she cannot forget the Nightmare that attacked them- or the familiar feeling of horrified panic that filled her when it did. She seeks the answers to this even as she hunts down the unfaithful, hoping that the Nightmare she helped slay was the last one she'd have to deal with, but fearing that it's only the beginning. Kolayvakri - Paladin of Morael (20) One of the two younger cousins she cared for in her youth, Kol is a young and only recently appointed paladin of Morael. Though he is not a young man who prefers violence, Kol understands that his aversion to it is not shared by others. In particular, others who may wish to do harm to his fellows- be they followers of the same Arch Seraph or not. While his loyalty to Morael is more or less beyond reproach, he is more loyal still to his family- both his cousin and his twin sister in equal amounts. While the twins (along with their cousin) are technically members of the Watchers of the Faithful, the growing viciousness that the current High Priest is leveling at other organizations is making him increasingly nervous. He worries for his small family, and should push come to shove, will not hesitate to abandon the organization, even if it means going on the run. While he has no intention of giving up his faith, he has no intention on waging holy war in a world still recovering from the ravages of its last great conflict. He thinks that the rest of the organization should believe the same- but knows that the word of the High Priest is both Law and Dogma to a good majority of them. Unusually, he shares his Quori spirit with his twin sister, which is a good portion of why he's so protective of her. Even if he didn't, however, he'd still put her safety and wellbeing above almost anything else. Especially because her fervent admirers- both religious and otherwise- tend to overstep in ways his sister is simply too gentle to properly rebuff them for. Luckily for her, Kol has no such hesitation. Tulayvakri - Priest of Morael (20) The other of her two cousins, Tulay is a reticent yet passionate young woman who espouses her belief in the Arch Seraph with unwavering conviction. While she takes no issue with those of the House of the Hearth, or really any other faith, they most certainly take issue with her. As do numerous others in the Watchers of the Faithful. Tulay's sermons, though small, tend to gain popularity and traction wherever she sees fit to have them. It helps that her earnest belief in the things she says is very nearly palpable. Much like her elder cousin, Tulay believes that only by caring for each other and thus, being more willing to help each other can people truly recover from the calamitous events of the God's End. Tulay's popularity comes with its own travails though- several attempts to corner her after sermons have led to her brother having to swap places with her now and again for her own safety. Their faces are similar enough that they can be mistaken for each other at a distance, much to Kol's amusement and Tulay's confusion- in great part because while she and her brother both share the same willowy height, they could otherwise not be more different. Since she and her brother share a spirit, they often seem to have the same opinions and thoughts around most subjects. However, Tulay's methods tend to trend more toward passive actions than going after a situation headlong like Kol. Konstantin Emyhar - Former Paladin, Sellsword (47) The man who took her and her cousins in after their unfortunate predicament. Konstantin is a now mostly-retired former Paladin who on occasion lends his steel to merchants who he has had dealings with before. Stern but not cruel, just but not vengeful. A man of principle and merit who has instilled the same in his surrogate children to the best of his ability. His is the home the trio also claim as their own when they are not spreading the word of the Arch Seraph. He currently lives in a small town outside of the capital of Burach, where he raised the children, and does his best to maintain a low profile. Once a dedicated soldier for the House of the Hearth, the man known as Konstantin Emyhar left the order when his choice was to either leave three children to die or figure out how to help them. While usually a stout believer in following orders, even he couldn't simply leave three children to fend for themselves in what was clearly the wake of a supernatural attack. Especially when one of them had nearly lost an arm in the process. Thus began his sudden and unexpected tenure as a father, something for which he was quite ill-prepared, even at thirty-one. Taking his children and hiding his identity, he settled in a small hamlet with the three of them, raising them as his own. While all three of them technically have no surname, they all tend to default to his on paperwork out of affection for their surrogate father.
