Description

Show spoiler

Ryaln doesn't remember his last name or why he left his children. He is a split and broken man, cursed to live a half existance. He knows that he lost something, and has a deep rooted desire to find what he lost. His cursed nature however requires him to abandon those he loves most, lest harm come to them. He loves his children, and the people around him but he is a charlatan at nature, and the curse makes it so that he may never overcome his nature. He believes the Deck of Many things can help him.
What he doesn't remember: He made a deal with a Hag deep within the neverwinter wood, in order to save his dying daughter he needed to give the hag a great deal of his memory (including their dealings), and gave the virtuous part of his soul to the hag.

Ideals

The world is for partying and making sure those close to us know frivolity

Bonds

I know something was lost from me, I will get it back

Flaws

I steep too much in the drink, and I enjoy swindling other people

Ryaln is an 12th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 17, +9 to hit with spell attacks). Ryaln can cast the following spells:

At will: Cantrips: Mage Hand, Vicious Mockery, Prestidigitation, and Card Throw.

1/day: Charm Person, Faerie Fire, Healing Word, Detect Magic, Hold Person, Polymorph, Blink

2/day: Fireball, Pace Without a Trace,

Metamagic: Subtle Spell

Actions

Multiattack. Ryaln may make two Enthralling Sting attacks or two Dazzling Arrow attacks.
Enthralling Sting (Rapier +1 with Charm). Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5ft., one target, on hit 9 (1d8+4) piercing damage. When a humanoid takes damage from this weapon they must make a DC 14 Charisma saving throw or be charmed (as if under the effects of the charm spell) by the weilder. The effect ends at the end of the targets next turn. If the weilder uses a first level spell slot with the attack then the effect lasts for 1 hour. If a target succeeds their saving throw on this ability they are immune to it for the next 24 hours.
Dazzling Shortbow (+2 Shortbow with effect). Ranged Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 80/320ft., one target, on hit 9 (1d6+5) piercing damage. The bow also has 3 charges that recharge at dawn. The weilder may expend a charge to release a Dazzling Arrow that explodes in glittering light in a 10ft. radius circle upon impact, (or the weilder may speak the command word for it to detonate early). Those caught within the radius must make a DC 14 constitution saving throw or become blinded until the end of their next turn.  

Reactions

Cutting Words (3/day). When a creature that Ryaln can see within 60 feet of him makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a damage roll, he can use his reaction to roll 1d6 and subtract it from the number rolled from the creature’s roll.
Opportunistic Tongue (3/day). If a target misses an attack against Ryaln, he attempts to talk his way out of the situation. The attacker must make a DC 17 charisma saving throw, or they may not take opportunity attacks against Ryaln until the start of their next turn.
