Kindred - Baron von Queef

Vicious Mockery

Whisper an insult, secret, or cutting phrase laced with psychic force at one creature that can hear or understand you within range. The target must make a WIS save, taking 1d6 psychic damage and having disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn on a failed save.

Whispered Suggestion

Speak a short, subtle directive to one creature within range that can hear and understand you. The target must make a WIS save or follow a brief non-harmful command on its next turn, such as pause, look away, answer, kneel, approach, or drop a harmless object.

Encode Whisper

Encode a message, memory-fragment, rumor, or short command into a thought strand, folded note, breath mark, or whispered charm you touch. The next creature you designate that touches or hears it receives the message privately and knows whether it was meant for them.

Mind Sliver

Drive a needle-thin whisper into one creature’s thoughts. The target must make an INT save, taking 2d6 psychic damage and subtracting 1d4 from the next saving throw it makes before the end of your next turn on a failed save, or half damage only on a success.

Rumor Echo

When you succeed on a Deception, Persuasion, or Intimidation check using speech, a useful echo lingers. Before the duration ends, add 1d4 to another social check made against a creature that heard or heard about the first exchange.

Soft Voice

Your voice can carry only to chosen listeners. For the duration, you may speak so that only creatures you choose within 60 ft. hear you, and you gain advantage on Stealth checks to communicate without being overheard.

Suggestion

Suggest a course of activity in 25 words or fewer to one creature that can hear and understand you. The suggestion must sound reasonable and not be obviously self-destructive. The target must make a WIS save or follow the suggestion to the best of its ability until completed or the duration ends.

Sending

Send a whispered message of 25 words or fewer to a creature you know or can clearly identify by description. The target hears you in its mind and may answer immediately with up to 25 words. Across planes, the message may fail at the GM’s discretion.

Unraveling Whisper

Whisper the sentence a creature most fears hearing. The target must make a WIS save, taking 4d8 psychic damage and becoming frightened until the start of your next turn on a failed save, or half damage only on a success. While frightened this way, it has vulnerability to the next weapon damage it takes.

Tongues of the Whisperer

Touch one willing creature. For the duration, it understands spoken, signed, and whispered language it perceives, and creatures that know any language can understand its speech, signs, and intentional whispers.

Telepathic Bond

Forge a whisper-link among up to eight willing creatures within range. For the duration, linked creatures can communicate telepathically regardless of language over any distance on the same plane. The link cannot carry damage, commands, or unwilling influence by itself.

Geas

Give a verbal command to one creature that can understand you. The target must make a WIS save or become bound to carry out a service or refrain from a course of action. If it knowingly acts against the command, it takes 5d10 psychic damage once per day. The command cannot require certain death.
