Description

Zehin is a powerful spellcaster, ardent drug abuser, visionary and devotee of the Demon Lord Graz'zt, whom he worships under the Carpocratian term "Barpharanges" which encompasses both the being, and the concept of total indulgence. He is deeply under the influence of the madness of Graz'zt, which only reinforces his own notions of the liberation from the restrictions of the so-called Celestii Magni.

Gear:

+2 Half Plate of Graz'zt: +2 to AC, resistance to Fire damage, no disad on stealth checks
Peregrine Mask: Fly speed 60', advantage on initiative rolls
Ring of Protection +2: +2 to AC and death saves
Candle of Forbiddance:
+1 Mace of Barpharanges: adds +1 to attack and damage. Etched with scary runes, many obscene, some menacing. 1d20+8 attack, 1d8+4+1d8+29 damage; min 35 max 49. Can be used in conjunction with already-cast Spiritual Weapon (weapon attack + bonus attack).

Tactics:

Normally he starts with spiritual weapon at 6th level which is non-concentration, 1 min per cast (10 rounds) and has some significant stacks. Depending on the circumstances he may begin with Cloudkill against many opponents (which also creates cover), or go for broke with Inflict Wounds cast at 6th level for 8d10 damage + 29 necrotic add-on from Touch of Death (37-109 points of damage). Vampiric touch also stacks with Touch of Death to bestow healing, and

Ideals

“Mine is the path of redemption. Anyone who says otherwise is intentionally misleading you.”

Bonds

Utterly devoted to advancing the concept of Barpharanges in the surface world.

Flaws

Vanity; overconfidence.

Advantage on CON saves to maintain concentration{/li]
Can perform spells with somatic components even with weapons or shield in one or both hands
When a hostile creature’s movement provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use your reaction to cast a spell at the creature, rather than making an opportunity attack. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action and must target only that creature.

Actions

Invisibility (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). The Duergar magically turns invisible until it attacks, casts a spell, or uses its Enlarge, or until its concentration is broken, up to 1 hour (as if concentrating on a spell). Any equipment the duergar wears or carries is invisible with it. Enlarge (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). For 1 minute, the Duergar magically increases in size, along with anything it is wearing or carrying. While enlarged, the duergar is Large, doubles its damage dice on Strength-based weapon attacks and makes Strength checks and Strength saving throws with advantage. If the Duergar lacks the room to become Large, it attains the maximum size possible in the space available.
