As an action, the deceiver lashes a whip of crimson energy between them and a creature they can see within 30 feet of them. The target must succeed on a DC 10 plus PB Constitution saving throw or take PBd4 fire damage and be tethered. A tethered creature takes PBd4 damage at the beginning of each of their turns. A tethered creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on a success.

As an action, the deceiver weaves frightening illusions around a creature they can see within 60 feet of them. The illusions last for 1 minute. A creature who attacks the target while the illusions are active must succeed on a DC 10 plus PB Wisdom saving throw or take PBd6 psychic damage and be frightened until the end of their next turn. A creature who succeeds on the saving throw is immune to this effect for 24 hours.

3/DAY

As an action, the deceiver manifests a pocket of Hell, creating a 15-foot-radius sphere of brimstone and darkness centered on a point within 150 feet of them. That area becomes difficult terrain. A creature who starts their turn in that area or enters it for the first time on a turn takes PBd6 fire damage. A creature who ends their turn in that area must succeed on a DC 10 plus PB Wisdom saving throw or take PBd6 psychic damage from the screams of the damned in their mind.
