EMPUSA

Description

What you at first took for a beautiful woman reveals itself to be much worse; its hair is a crown of flames and its legs are strange-one leg is made of brass, the other is a donkey’s leg.

Empusa are daimons spawned of Hades who shapeshift into beautiful women to get close enough to their prey, only to drain them of blood during an intimate moment.

Divine Origin

Empusa are the daughters of Hecate, and sacred to her. As a result all Empusa are Female. They use their charms to lure the lustful to their doom. However some use their talents for mischief as opposed to murder.

Empusa Names

*While Empousa names are typically of greek origin, some choose less conspicuous names to match their disguises.

Deadly Illusions

Empusa have the innate ability to cast illusions on themselves. Because of this you can cast Disguise Self once per day, and it will last until the next dawn.

Enticement

Once per day you can attempt to charm a humanoid within 30 feet of you. The humanoid you are attempting must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom Saving throw or be Magically charmed by you for the next 1 hour. The charmed target obeys your verbal or telepathic commands. The Humanoid may repeat the saving throw if it takes damage, or receives a deadly command. The effect may also end if the charmed humanoid is moved out of range of your telepatic bind with it. If the target successfully saves against the effect, or if the effect on it ends, the target is immune to your Charm for the next 24 hours.
