Kylix
Level 4Attacks
Abilities
The kylix's non-damaging spells gain the subtle trait.
When a kylix is holding a drink and not wielding weapons or wearing armor, they're continually protected by a Sanctuary spell (DC 21 will). If the kylix breaks the sanctuary spell, the effect returns if the devil doesn't take any hostile actions for 10 minutes. Additionally, while protected by a sanctuary spell, the kylix can roll Diplomacy for initiative.
The kylix attempts a deception, diplomacy, performance, or society check, and compares their result against the Will DCs of up to four creatures within 60 feet. On a success, these creatures are Fascinated for 1 round. The kylix can Sustain this effect, increasing the duration of this fascination by 1 round for up to 1 minute. When the fascination ends, the affected creatures are then temporarily immune to Courteous Causerie for 1 hour.
The kylix can flank an enemy if it's within reach of both an ally and themself; the kylix and their ally don't have to be on opposite sides. This benefits the kylix's allies as well, but only if they're flanking with the kylix, not each other. Other requirements for flanking must still be met.
A creature Fascinated by a kylix is Off-Guard to the kylix.
The elegant and mortal-appearing kylixes, or cupbearer devils, rarely hide their infernal nature, preferring to dress tastefully and immaculately to accentuate the beauty and symmetry of their forms. Theirs is the dance of idle speech and clever chatter, half-promises of friendship amid smiling hints of dalliance. They make friends swiftly wherever they go, and their presence alone seems to prevent insurrection and conflict. The cupbearers are the face of occupation; with their devilish charms, they ca
The cupbearers shape art and culture, wielding their talents in hospitality and merrymaking to seduce their guests and entourages toward the glamour of evil. Hell is, after all, a bastion of civilization; the cupbearers, with their twinkling vessels and carelessly sincere flattery, remind that Hell is the best place to be, and you have nothing to fear from its laws.
