Witchwyrd

Creature 6 (uncommon) — humanoid

AnvilWeaverLANDhumanoid

Witchwyrds conceal most of their faces, leaving only their eyes unmasked. Their inscrutability is a boon to one of their most significant interests—mercantilism—and many haughty witchwyrds openly revel in the befuddlement inspired by their mysterious guises and mannerisms. Witchwyrds have a keen eye for new opportunities and markets, and they almost always know when someone tries to pull one over on them. These four-armed humanoid creatures have hairless blue-gray skin, are typically 6-1/2 feet

Abilities

Constant Spells — A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.
Absorb Force (arcane, force) — Frequency once per round

Trigger A force barrage or Force Dart (see below) is fired at the witchwyrd, and the witchwyrd is aware of it and has a free hand
Effect The witchwyrd "catches" one force projectile, absorbing it, preventing the damage, and causing that hand to glow while it holds this energy. A hand that's holding energy can't be used for any other purpose except to use Force Dart. The energy lasts for 1 minute or until it's released.
Force Dart (arcane, force) — 1 to 3

The witchwyrd fires one dart of force per action spent (dealing 1d4+1 force damage each). They can't spend more actions on this ability than they have free hands. If they use a hand that has Absorbed Force, that hand hurls two darts instead of one, expending the held energy.
Grab
Arcane Innate Spells DC 23, attack +15
5th Truespeech (Constant)
4th Suggestion, Translocate
