Hidden in Plain Sight. Those who do not know Balatro's true nature, see him as a male halfling with glasses.
Devil's Sight. Magical darkness doesn't impede the devil's darkvision.
No Magic Resistance? Balatro does... not??? have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.`
Hard to Read, Hard to Hide. Creatures within 30 feet of Balatro have disadvantage on any check to read emotions, and disadvantage on hiding their own emotions. Balatro and creatures he chooses are immune to this effect.
Refuge of the Damned. Through a bizarre clause in the Pact Primeval, Balatro is magically warded to prevent attacks. Balatro continually gains the benefit of a sanctuary spell; a DC 24 Wisdom saving throw is required to overcome this effect. Each time Balatro attacks a creature, the DC goes down by 2. If Balatro takes a short rest or uses Not Yet,. this DC resets to 24.
Multiattack. The devil makes two attacks with its dagger.
Paranoid Dagger. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 7 (1d4 + 5) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or suffer from level 3 exhaustion. The condition lasts for 24 hours or until the target willingly strikes an ally. The target feels strangely like his/her/their allies are conspiring against them, and can feel soothing relief waiting for it if it only gives in to the malevolent whispers to betray them first. Remove curse also removes the effect.
Spellcasting. Balatro casts one of the following spells using Intelligence as the spell casting ability (spell save DC 14, +5 to hit with spell attacks).
At will: disguise self, Jim's magic missile, create food and water
1/minute: Jim's glowing coin, teleport (self plus 50 pounds of gear only)
1/day: dragon's breath, Balatro's Irremovable Inconvenience
3/day: web, Balatro's Battle Poker
Not Yet (1/day). Balatro can use Not Yet when getting hit by an attack and his health is lower than 35. Balatro negates that damage and heals 5d8+25 health, and gains access to 3 uses of Silvery Barbs until the next long rest.
Description
"Hehehe... to keep my amnesty, you must now tell everyone you meet an insult within an hour of meeting them. You may reveal it's not your fault if they still wish to talk to you in a week. Heehee... that's gonna be so annoying! I'm so evil!"

Balatro is the resident demon of Horizon. He is very dangerous, despite his size... but only when he wants to be. He is usually content to just prank the residents of Horizon, who see it as silly halfling doing slightly evil things, but not breaking any laws so it's fine. When Balatro goes traveling, on the first of each month, he stays gone for a week, frolicking in his true form, making frivolous deals with whomever he sees and attacking those who refuse. Such deals often include an inconvenience that is related to their class or a hobby they reveal they have. Such as making a chef add an extremely spicy powder to every dish he makes for others. Such deals don't give Balatro souls or any significant amount of wealth, but through them he has grown influence, and with influence comes Underworld-given powers.
