Shrouded Seer

Moving through realms of existence with ease, the

mysterious Shrouded Seer is a creature of the planes about
which little is known. Its true face has never been seen, only
the many masks that it carries and wears. It uses them to
channel great and terrible power, and transport itself
wherever, and whenever, it pleases. The Seer is not a violent
creature, though make no mistake – if it decides that you are
to die, there is little you could do to fight back. It has a mask
for every need, and on the rare occasion that it finds itself
without the appropriate visage, it can create a new one and
focus a part of its arcane power into it to imbue it with the
desired effect. It has four wiry arms that it uses to don and
doff its masks with superhuman speed or tear its enemies’
bodies and minds to shreds. When it walks, the ground itself
flattens and shifts to aid its passing, and the air around it
crackles with the energetic potential of its unmade masks. A
wary traveller in the outer planes would do well to remember:
You will only see a Shrouded Seer if it wants you to see it,
and if that’s the case, pray it only wants to talk.

Learning From Experience

Shrouded Seers are highly intelligent creatures and

are always learning from their past encounters.
Their ability to craft new masks means that their
Many Masks feature is ever changing.

A Seer could use a mask to replicate a spell effect

that was once used against it, an innate ability that
it witnessed a monster use, or even a class feature
of an adventurer it has closely observed. It tweaks
and adjusts effects to best suit it, and then adds a
fresh mask to its collection.

The Seer's bonus to hit with mask effects is equal

to its proficiency bonus + its Intelligence modifier.
The Seer's saving throw DC for mask effects is
equal to 8 + its proficiency bonus + its Intelligence
modifier.

of movement to escape from nonmagical restraints or
being grappled.

other creatures and objects as if they were difficult
terrain. It takes 11 (2d10) force damage if it ends its
turn inside an object.
Actions
Multiattack The Shrouded Seer makes four claw attacks.
Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5ft., one
target. Hit: 12 (3d6 + 2) slashing damage plus 5
(1d10) psychic damage.
Many Masks The Shrouded Seer puts on up to two
masks and activates their effects, one after the other.
The same mask cannot be used on two consecutive
turns. Choose from the following list:
Authoritative Mask: The Shrouded Seer targets a
creature that it can see within 60ft. The targeted
creature must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving
throw or become charmed by the Shrouded Seer for 1
hour or until the Shrouded Seer dies. If the target is
fighting the Shrouded Seer, it has advantage on the
saving throw. While the target is charmed, the
Shrouded Seer can telepathically command it (no
action required). The charmed creature carries out the
orders to the best of its ability or, if given no orders,
defends itself. Each time the target takes damage, it
makes a new Wisdom saving throw, ending the charm
effect on a success.
Created by Rafe Petersen
Veiled Mask: The Shrouded Seer becomes invisible for
1 hour, or until it ends the effect early as a bonus
action. It must concentrate on this effect as if it were a
spell.
Mutated Mask: The Shrouded Seer polymorphs into a
humanoid or beast that has a challenge rating no
higher than its own, or back into its true form. It reverts
to its true form if it dies. Any equipment it is wearing
or carrying is absorbed or borne by the new form
(Shrouded Seer's choice). In a new form, the Shrouded
Seer retains its alignment, hit points, Hit Dice,
languages, proficiencies, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and
Charisma scores, as well as this mask effect. Its
statistics and capabilities are otherwise replaced by
those of the new form, except any class features or
legendary actions of that form.
Menacing Mask: Each creature of the Shrouded Seer's
choice that are within 60ft. and can see it must
succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or become
frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the
saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the
effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving
throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the
creature is immune to the Shrouded Seer's Menacing
Mask for the next 24 hours.
Otherwordly Mask: The Shrouded Seer casts the Plane
Shift spell without requiring any components.
Harmful Mask: The Shrouded Seer targets a creature
that it can see within 60ft. The targeted creature must
succeed on a DC 18 Intelligence saving throw, taking
33 (6d10) psychic damage on a failed save, or half as
much on a successful one.
Staggering Mask: The Shrouded Seer targets a creature
that it can see within 60ft. The targeted creature must
succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be
stunned for 1 minute and take 13 (3d8) pyschic
damage. The target can repeat the saving throw at the
end of each of its turns, taking an additional 13 (3d8)
psychic damage on a failure, or ending the effect on
itself on a success.
Ruinous Mask: The Shrouded Seer unleashes an
elemental wave in a 30ft radius sphere centred on
itself. It chooses one of either acid, cold, fire, lightning,
or thunder damage. Each creature, except the
Shrouded Seer, in the area must succeed a DC 18
Dexterity saving throw, taking 56 (16d6) of the chosen
damage type on a failed save, or half as much on a
successful one.
