Fiend Caller

Creature 3 (rare) — human, humanoid, unholy

WeaverSnareLANDunholy

Fiend callers act as intermediaries to help mortals sell their souls or make other deals with fiends. You can adjust a fiend caller to be accompanied by a bound fiend. The fiend gains the minion trait, and you can replace the fiend caller's Spiritual Armament spell with Final Sacrifice. Villains pursue selfish and cruel goals, trampling over anyone in their way.

Offense

Melee Dagger (agile, finesse, versatile-s) +9, Damage 1d4+6 piercing plus 1d4 bleed

Abilities

Legal Specialist — For encounters involving contracts and negotiations, the fiend caller is an 8th-level challenge.
Fiendish Contract (downtime, occult) — The fiend caller spends 1 day of downtime setting up a bargain between a mortal creature and a fiend the fiend caller knows well. The fiend caller attempts a Legal Lore check against the higher of the fiend's Legal-lore{Will DC} or Legal-lore{Diplomacy DC}.

Success The mortal party receives one favor from the fiend, or the fiend becomes the mortal's minion for 1d4 days if they're on the same plane. Alternatively, if the GM allows the option, the mortal can receive a bargained contract of the fiend's level or lower.

Failure The fiend caller fails to strike the bargain.

Critical Failure The process fails, and the magical backlash makes the fiend caller Drained 2.
Fiendish Ritualist — A fiend caller can cast Binding Circle and Commune to contact fiends even though the rituals are beyond the normal rank the fiend caller could cast. Furthermore, they can use Legal Lore for the primary check when they do so instead of the listed skill.
Planar Communique — A fiend caller can cast Sending at will as an occult innate spell, but only to target a fiend they know well. The fiend can be on any plane.
