Traits

Tough flesh. A vaati’s flesh is pretty resistant and provides an excellent armor. While vaati is wearing no armor its Armor Class equals 15 + Constitution modifier.

Innate Spellcasting. The vaati's innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 18, +10 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

At will: dust devil, gust of wind, feather fall

 Wind Traveler. Vaati can use its gust of wind spell to triple its flying movement for one round.

Magic Weapon. The sword and bow have a +1 enchantment when used by a vaati (included in the attacks). In the hands of a non-vaati, the weapons not only lose their enchantment, but also corrode, falling to pieces in 2d6 months.

Dancing Sword. Houdeam vaati can make its two-handed swords dance (like a Dancing Sword) three times a day.

Actions

Multiattack. The vaati makes three attacks.

Greatsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) slashing damage.

Long bow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, range 150/600 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage.

Dancing Sword (3/day). When vaati houdeam use this special attack, the sword begins to hover, flies up to 30 feet, and attacks one creature of vaati's choice within 5 feet of it. The sword makes standard melee weapon attack as described in the Greatsword action above.

While the sword hovers, vaati can use one attack action to cause it to fly up to 30 feet to another spot within 30 feet of you. As part of the same action, vaati can cause the sword to attack one creature within 5 feet of it.

After the hovering sword attacks for the fourth time, it flies up to 30 feet and tries to return to vaati's hand. If vaati have no hand free, sword falls to the ground at its feet. If the sword has no unobstructed path to vaati, it moves as close to vaati as it can and then falls to the ground. It also ceases to hover if vaati grasps it or moves more than 30 feet away from it.

Description

The Vaati (VAH tee), or Wind Dukes, are a race of immortals dedicated to Law. Vaati look like statuesque humans. They are tall, muscular, and androgynous. As a rule, they wear no clothing but usually wear belts or harnesses to carry weapons and equipment. Vaati have smooth, ebony skin, brilliantly white eyes that sparkle with inner light, and velvety black hair (which usually is kept closely shaved).

Vaati are peaceful and prefer to negotiate rather than fight. If pressed into action, or faced with chaotic foes, they display considerable strength and ingenuity in combat.

Vaati society is divided into castes. The houdeam caste conduct the vaati’s civil and military affairs. They are primarily charged with guarding the Vale of Aaqa and keeping a wary eye on visitors to the valley.
