Traits

Storm-Hardened Commander. Ysra has Advantage on saving throws against being Frightened. In addition, allied creatures of her choice within 30 feet of her have Advantage on saving throws against being Frightened while they can see or hear her.

Harbormaster’s Authority. Difficult Terrain caused by snow, ice, ropes, docks, stairs, harbor debris, or storm conditions doesn’t cost Ysra extra movement.

Valathros’ Witness. When Ysra rolls Initiative, thunder rolls overhead. Ysra and up to six allied creatures of her choice within 60 feet gain 15 Temporary Hit Points and can move up to 10 feet without provoking Opportunity Attacks.

Storm-Priest of the Harbor. Ysra doesn’t require Material components to cast her spells. Her spellcasting ability is Wisdom. Her spell save DC is 17, and she has +9 to hit with spell attacks.

Actions

Multiattack. Ysra makes three Storm Burst attacks.

Storm Burst. Melee or Ranged Spell Attack Roll: +9, reach 5 ft. or range 60 ft. Hit: 27 (4d10 + 5) Thunder damage.

Storm-Cutlass. Melee Attack Roll: +7, reach 5 ft. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) Slashing damage plus 10 (3d6) Thunder damage.

Word of the Storm (Recharge 4–6). Wisdom Saving Throw: DC 17, each enemy in a 20-foot Emanation originating from Ysra. Failure: 21 (6d6) Thunder damage, and the target has the Stunned condition until the end of Ysra’s next turn. Success: Half damage only.

Spellcasting. Ysra casts one of the following spells, requiring no Material components and using Wisdom as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 17):

At Will: Light, Thaumaturgy

1/Day Each: Call Lightning, Control Water, Destructive Wave, Greater Restoration, Zone of Truth

Bonus Actions

Storm Aid (3/Day). Ysra casts Bless, Dispel Magic, Healing Word, or Lesser Restoration, using the same spellcasting ability as Spellcasting.

Command the Line (Recharge 4–6). Ysra chooses one allied creature within 60 feet that can see or hear her. The target gains 12 (2d6 + 5) Temporary Hit Points, and it can either move up to half its Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks or make one weapon attack.

Reactions

Storm Rebuke. When a creature Ysra can see hits her with an attack, the attacker takes 13 (3d8) Thunder damage and must succeed on a DC 17 Strength saving throw or be pushed 10 feet away from her.

Before the Storm Breaks (1/Day). When Ysra or an allied creature she can see within 60 feet is reduced to 0 Hit Points, or when a Huge or larger hostile creature enters a space within 30 feet of her, Ysra calls Valathros to witness the line. Up to six allied creatures of her choice within 60 feet regain 20 (4d8 + 2) Hit Points, can immediately stand up if Prone, and can end the Frightened condition on themselves. Until the start of Ysra’s next turn, hostile creatures within 30 feet of her have Disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than Ysra.

Description

Captain Ysra Vhal is the Harbormaster of Hollowmouth, known to many as the Woman Who Returned Twice. To outsiders, she is a weathered captain and hard-eyed survivor. To the people of Hollowmouth, she is something more: the storm-priest who stands between the harbor and the white death beyond its lights.

Ysra is a cleric of Valathros, god of battle, competition, storm, and strength proven under pressure. She does not preach from a temple. Her cathedral is the dock. Her liturgy is the ringing of harbor bells. Her congregation is every sailor, guard, fisher, hunter, child, and refugee who still has breath enough to stand.

Ysra does not ask Valathros to calm the storm. She asks him to witness who remains standing within it.

When Hollowmouth is threatened, Ysra becomes the voice that cuts through panic. Her commands carry like thunder, her presence hardens frightened hearts, and her magic strikes with the force of storm breaking against black sea stone.

Common Phrases:
“Valathros, witness us.”
“Hold the line. If you can still hear the bells, you can still stand.”
“Valathros doesn’t ask us to win. He asks us not to kneel before the storm.”
“No one breaks before the storm does.”

Habitat: Any
