Specialists in Toxins. If using a weapon of any sort, the ermordenung will have it poisoned, adding 7 2d6 poison damage on top of all other damage.   Charming. The ermordenung can be very charming to others and any rolls made against them using Charisma has a -1 to the roll or DC.

Actions

Touch of Death. Melee Weapon Attack +4 to hit, reach 5ft, one target. Hit 11 2d8+2 poison damage, plus the victim has to make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw to avoid the poisoned condition if failed. If successful, this does not happen and the victim is immune to this effect for 24 hours.   Kiss of Death. Melee Weapon Attack +3 to hit, reach 5ft, one target. The ermordenung tries to grapple the opponent instead of doing damage. The victim has to pass a DC 14 Strength saving throw to escape. If successful, nothing happens. If failed, the victim is caught in a grapple and has to carry out the same saving throw at the start of their turn to break free. In the meantime, the ermordenung kisses an exposed mouth or other exposed body part. This causes 22 4d8+4 poison damage, and make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw to avoid the poisoned condition if failed. If successful, this does not happen, but if kissed again, will still need to test again.

Ermordenungs are a race of human-like beings from a demiplane called Borca. They have black hair, and equally black eyes, and seem to have a piercing hypnotic gaze. They have the trappings of a noble bloodline, and the accent & attitude to match. Each eats a varied diet, preferring the best of food & drink. They radiate an inner power, with the males being 6 ft on average and smooth muscled, and the females being both curvy & firm figured. Both also give off an air of the exotic too.   While they are able & willing to use weapons, it is the touch of Ermordenungs that is more deadly. If they touch an exposed area of skin of an opponent, that victim seems to wither and die. Saying this, if kissed by one, the victim seems to take even greater poison damage dying quicker. This does affect others of their species, but a quirk of their nature means they avoid making strong attachments to others outside their noble families. Another related quirk is that they are immune to almost all known toxins. This serves the leaders of the families & of the Demiplane of Borca who sends them on missions, usually involving assassination of one kind or another, or retrieval of information by using this power.

Suggested Environments

Demiplanes of Dread (especially Borca), any settlement.
