Ostiariuses stand over 6 feet tall, and individuals range from skeletally thin to hugely corpulent. Among the most pleasant and persuasive of the velstracs, ostiariuses are prepared to converse for hours upon any topic, and they are skilled at returning, again and again, to the subject of the delights found in their perverse philosophies. They not only escort other velstracs into the world of mortals, but also work to entice mortals into the realms of the velstracs- from which most mortals never leave. Ostiariuses, as emissaries of the velstracs, tend to the portals between the Shadow Plane and the Material Plane. Whether the creature succeeds at or fails the save, it is temporarily immune for 1 hour. This fascination lasts for 1 round or until the ostiarius takes any hostile action against the creature or the creature’s allies. In addition, if the creature was already sickened and fails its save, the creature is fascinated by the ostiarius and can’t use hostile actions. The creature must immediately attempt a Will save against whispering wounds. They take 1 persistent bleed damage and can’t attempt a flat check to end this damage as long as they’re compelled.įocus Gaze (concentrate, divine, enchantment, fear, mental, visual) The ostiarius stares at a creature they can see within 30 feet. Non-velstracs who accept this compelled courage find bleeding wounds opening on their own bodies to whisper in thanks. The ostiarius can Sustain Compel Courage. The ostiarius and their allies in a 50-foot emanation gain a +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear effects.
