Evasion. If Thraxxia is subjected to an effect that allows her to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, she instead takes no damage if she succeeds on the saving throw,. and only half damage if she fails.

Fiendish Blessing. Thraxxia's AC includes her Charisma bonus.

Innate Spellcasting. Thraxxia's spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 18). She can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

At will: darkness, see invisibility

3/day each: alter self, command, detect magic, dimension door, freedom of movement, greater invisibility

1/day: disintegrate, dispel magic, haste, mislead, plane shift (self only)

Thraxxia can use a bonus action to cast any of the above spells at 5th level.

Sneak Attack (1/Turn). Thraxxia deals an extra 35 (10d6) damage when she hits a target with an attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of Thraxxia that isn't incapacitated and she doesn't have disadvantage on the attack roll.

Fiendish Charm. One humanoid Thraxxia can see within 30 feet of her must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be magically charmed for 1 day. The charmed target obeys Thraxxia's spoken commands. If the target suffers any harm from Thraxxia or another creature or receives a suicidal command from Thraxxia, the target can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a target's saving throw is successful, or if the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to Thraxxia's Fiendish Charm for the next 24 hours.

The daughters of Graz'zt

Graz'zt apparently has a fairly large number of children, shocking I know. Many of you know about Iuz, the demigod and apple of his daddy's eye. I posted Rule-of-Three, another son, not that long ago. Today, I'm going to cover two of his daughters: Thraxxia, his personal assassin, and Belyara, a really obscure daughter who is currently having some daddy issues.

I'll be covering Athux, Graz'zt's son and general of his armies, soon.

Thraxxia is one of Graz’zt’s many daughters, her mother a long-dead mortal human. Thraxxia serves as Graz’zt’s personal assassin, and to date she has yet to fail in a mission given to her. To prove her worth to her father, she murdered three of her half-sisters. Thraxxia is vindictive and spiteful, traits that Graz’zt has nurtured in his beautiful daughter.

Thraxxia appears as a beautiful young woman, with long, dark hair and a cruel mien. A pair of small horns grows from her forehead, while a pair of somewhat smallish leathery wings sprouts from her back. Her gaze is sharp and predatory, and when she smiles or snarls, sharp teeth are revealed. Thraxxia’s small, shapely form is deceptively strong, containing the strength and power of a nalfeshnee, abilities she gained through treachery, wit and guile. Thraxxia frequently makes use of a variety of magical items when she is on the hunt.
