The pallid mask
Herald of the Yellow King: The Pallid Mask can use his yellow sign to inscribe the Yellow Sign on his own body. He can conceal this symbol within the folds of his robe, and reveal it once again as a move action. Creatures under the effect of a charm or compulsion spell cast by the Pallid Mask makes a wisdom saving throw(DC15) with disadvantage to resist the effects of the yellow sign.
Horrific Revelation: As a bonus action, the Pallid Mask can reveal a horrific truth to a single creature within 60 feet. The target must succeed at a DC 28 Wisdom save or become confused and babble incoherently for 1 turn as its mind reels at the terrible revelation. A creature that successfully saves against this ability is immune to this effect for 24 hours. This is a mind-affecting, language-dependent effect, and the save DC is Charisma-based.
Phantom of Truth: The Pallid Mask’s deceptions transcend truth and reality. He is immune to alignment-based spells and any spell or effect that would force him to tell the truth. Additionally, the Pallid Mask gains "Deception", "Persuasion", and "Insight" as class skills.
Rejuvenation: If killed in Carcosa, the Pallid Mask reforms in the parasitic city in 1d4 days
