Actions

Feast on Despair

The Keeper of Secrets drains the life force of a creature within 30 feet. The target must make a DC 22 Constitution saving throw, taking 45 (10d8) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. The Keeper regains hit points equal to the damage dealt.

Seductive Whispers

The Keeper of Secrets targets one creature it can see within 120 feet. The target must succeed on a DC 22 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed for 1 minute, during which it is incapacitated and unable to take actions.

Twisted Reality

The Keeper of Secrets creates an area of warped perception in a 30-foot radius centered on itself. Creatures within this area must succeed on a DC 22 Intelligence saving throw or suffer disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks for 1 minute.
