SPECIAL TRAITS

• Innate Spellcasting. The songster’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
  • At will: calm mind*, detect evil and good, pass without trace
  • 3/day each: charm person, light at the end of the tunnel*, mirror image, suggestion
  • 1/day each: calm emotions, dispel evil and good, illusionary divine choir*

ACTIONS

• Multiattack. The songster makes three weapon attacks.
• Shortsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) slashing damage.
• Longbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 150/600 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage.
• Calming Song. The songster sings a magical melody. Every creature within 300 feet of it that can hear the song must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be calmed until the song ends. Calmed creatures are no longer charmed or frightened, and the features that rely on emotions (such as Rage) end. Also, affected creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls until the end of the song. The songster must take a bonus action on its subsequent turns to continue singing. It can stop singing at any time. The song ends if the songster is incapacitated. Whenever an affected creature takes damage from a source other than the songster, it can repeat the saving throw. A creature can also repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If a creature’s saving throw is successful, the effect ends on it. A target that successfully saves is immune to this song for the next 24 hours.

ABOUT

Songsters are bird-winged angels in the shape of humanoids. Their wings are made of the softest feathers of blue and violet, giving them a glorious appearance.

Songsters have mellow and soothing voices. Their songs and their singing voices sound like that of nightingales. They often choose to live in isolated places such as mountain tops, desolate islands, or deep in the woods.

Divine Creation. A songster is an angel and doesn’t require food, drink, or sleep.

Emissaries of Joy. A songster generally serves a deity of art, dance, joy, happiness, and freedom.
