“I can’t believe you found me, Vaund the Evasive. I must swiftly return to my amber cell, but first, would you like to take my gift? None shall ever find you thereafter. Or I could answer a question for you, I promise not to answer truthfully….”
Vaund’s gift is the power of evasion. This dark gift grants its beneficiary the benefits of an amulet of proof against detection and location and a ring of evasion. The beneficiary can’t be targeted by Divination spells or perceived through magical scrying sensors unless they allow it, and can utilize a Reaction to expend 1 charge to succeed on a failed dexterity saving throw. The beneficiary has 3 charges , and regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn.
These benefits last for 10 days, after which the dark gift vanishes.
The beneficiary of this dark gift becomes twitchy and nervous, and also gains the following flaw: “I can’t give a straight answer to any question put to me.”
