La Diablesse

The Devil Woman

Evil Eye

As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is frightened of you until the end of your next turn. Only one creature can be frightened by this feature at a time.   You can extend the duration that a creature is frightened of you by one round by using your bonus action to cackle loudly. When you do so, this effect requires concentration (as if concentrating on a spell), but you can concentrate on this effect and a spell at the same time. You make only one saving throw to maintain concentration on both.

Waking Nightmare

Once on each of your turns, when a creature fails an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw against one of your spells or vestige features, you can cause that creature to take 2d8 psychic damage.

Spellcasting: Spellbind

While bound to La Diablesse, you can cast the following spells, without expending a spell slot or material components: 2/day each: bane, darkness 1/day each: fear, phantasmal killer You regain all expended uses of these spells when you finish a long rest.

Trait: Cloven Hoof

While bound to La Diablesse, one of your legs transforms into a cloven hoof, a mark of her enduring curse. By leveraging this curse, you can use your action to cause one creature that you can see within 60 feet of you that is frightened of you to flee. The creature must use its reaction, if available, to move as far as its speed allows away from you. The creature doesn’t move into obviously dangerous ground, such as a fire or a pit. The creature can then repeat its saving throw against the spell or effect that caused it to be frightened, ending the effect on itself on a success.
A creature of equal enthralling beauty and terrifying ugliness, the Devil Woman offers her binders powers over fear itself.

Legend

Long ago, the Devil Woman would disguise herself as a beautiful woman at the annual harvest festivals and lure men to their doom. In a flowing dress and wide-brimmed hat, she cut a striking figure that was irresistible to intoxicated men and disloyal husbands, who she soon lured away from the firelight and deep into the wilderness. Once far from help, the Devil Woman would reveal her true nature: the face of a rotting corpse, eyes burning like coals in their sockets, and a half-beast body, with one leg possessing a cloven foot. The terrified and disoriented men that saw her usually became hopelessly lost, plunging into ravines or falling prey to wild animals by sunrise.   Binder scholars have learned that the Devil Woman was once a mortal, perhaps even a beautiful one, cursed to become a monster. However, her vestige refuses to acknowledge her life before being cursed, and seems to prefer her hideous appearance and flowing gowns. Perhaps she found empowerment in her withering curse, or perhaps, she merely likes watching men scream and flee into the night.

Flaw

When you bind this vestige, you gain the following flaw: “I constantly seek validation from others, especially in regard to my  appearance.”
