Six-Shooter




A beautiful woman with the lower half of a diamond-back rattlesnake, the six-shooter always brings a quick smile and a quicker draw to sun-backed scrublands. They keep their hair wild and long beneath battered cowboy hats and often wear embroidered waistcoats, crisscrossed gunbelts studded with jewels, and dusty ponchos of complex designs. Most humanoids find them beguiling creatures despite their plainly demonic nature... and six arms.


It's easy to assume a relation between the marilith's of the Abyss and the sidewinders that ride the Demon Wind. Both fiends violently dismiss this notion. While mariliths are domineering leaders of demon armies, six-shooters are independent creatures that value their freedom above all else. They travel to the mortal realms on the Demon Wind not to gather souls but to seek the best gunfighters for a challenge. This almost always ends with the six-shooter adding the slain mortal's sidearm to her trophy collection. While the six-shooter rides the Demon Wind, she doesn't consider herself part of that mad host. Devastation is not her intention, only competition.

Fiendish Whispers.

The fiend can whisper a message and it is magically delivered to a creature it can see within 120ft. If the fiend knows the creature's name, the range increases to 1 mile. If the fiend has damaged the creature since the last sunrise, the range increases to the entire plane.

The six-shooter has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Magic Weapons.

The six-shooter's weapon attacks are magical.

The six-shooter can take one reaction on every turn in combat.

Actions

Multiattack.

The six-shooter can make seven attacks: six with its pistols and one with its tail.

Tail.

Pistol.

Ranged Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, range 120/360 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8+5) piercing damage.

Tail Rattle.

Each creature of the six-shooter's choice that is within 120 feet of the fiend and can hear it must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the six-shooter's tail rattle for the next 24 hours.

Wind Rider.

The fiend can use its action to mystically teleport to its lair as long as it is on the same plane as it, and in a region where the Demon Winds can be heard.

Reactions

Dead Eye.

Whenever a creature that the six-shooter can see misses it with a ranged weapon attack or ranged singe-target spell by 5 or more, the fiend may use her reaction to make a pistol attack against that target.

Coffer Mimic

Most adventurers have either encountered or heard a story of an encounter with a mimic disguised as a chest. This is so common that everyone assumes a chest might just be a mimic. Hopefully, they never run across this monstrosity. Bred and trained by The Moneylender to protect his ill-gotten fortune, these mimics take the form of high-quality chests and possess greedy souls. They horde treasure and protect it fiercely. The more booty the mimic holds, the tougher it becomes - even more so when it robs the dead. If they get too aggressive, the Moneylender sells them off to other villains to populate their castles and dungeons.

Bryne Woemonger

There is nothing typical about the typical bryne. These coastal terrors are lumbering humanoids with a skin tone close to that of a drowned corpse. Crystal-like deposits of bone and salt erupt from their elbows, knees and shoulders while the rest of their flesh is puckered here and there from barnacle scars and fell branding. Their most disturbing aspect, however, is their fleshless skulls. Some say a bryne’s head resembles a dead horse, others a dead wolf’s and there is an argument to be made for both. While the skull’s shape is general equine the fangs within are wicked and sharp like a dire wolf’s Deep set eyes as black and cold as a shark's ooze off-white ichors and within the fleshy inside of a bryne’s mouth resides a forked tongue capable of speech. Adorned with the remnants of lost vessels and inhabited by a flock of undead albatross, the bryne woemonger takes to the field wielding a reclaimed anchor as a weapon. Driftwood cages serve as shoulder guards for this giant s...

Warlock Patron: The Embalmed

You have made a pact with an ancient mummy that while forever entombed beneath sun-scorched sand or impenetrable jungle, can reach out from its sepulcher to influence the living. Perhaps the undead horror was once a powerful sorcerer-king, high priestess of an extinct civilization, or the last remnant of a lost, terrible race. Its agenda and goals match a forgotten age and the mummy's capricious whims. Often the warlock is tasked with recovering artifacts tied to the sarcophagus-trapped horror or its civilization. Some mummies seek to futilely seek to be released from their prison, while others just want to be remembered as a figure of glory and power. Expanded Spell List The Embalmed lets you choose from an expanded list of Spells when you learn a Warlock spell. The following Spells are added to Warlock spells list for you. 1st - Inflict Wounds, Ray of Sickness 2nd - Animal Messenger, Dust Devil 3rd - Bestow Curse, Vampiric Touch 4th - Giant Insect, Phantasmal Killer ...
