Aura of Barovia's Sorrow
You exude an aura woven from the very fabric of Barovia itself. The land that mourns the suffering of its people manifests through you, subtly influencing those around you. Your presence inspires comfort in some and unease in others, shaping social interactions and combat alike.
Feat Benefits (Passive 10 ft. Aura):
- Soothing Presence: Native Barovians (non-monster humanoids) instinctively find solace in your presence. You gain advantage on Charisma-based checks (Persuasion, Deception, and Intimidation) when interacting with non-hostile Barovians.
- Unnerving Aura: Creatures with heightened magical instincts (beasts, lycanthropes, undead, hags, and other creatures attuned to magic) sense something unnatural about you. They are not openly hostile but prefer to keep their distance, often choosing to observe rather than engage unless provoked.
- Combat Wariness: In combat, enemies instinctively avoid engaging you in melee when possible. They will prioritize ranged attacks or choose other targets first unless circumstances force them to engage you directly.
- Lingering Sorrow: Any hostile creature within 10 feet of you (excluding allies) feels the weight of Barovia’s torment. All allied creatures (including yourself) within the range of this Aura have a +2 to Armor Class.
- Warped Perception: Creatures within this aura that attempt to attack Jignesh do so with disadvantage on their attack rolls.
