Master of Disguise

A servant in a prepared disguise has advantage on Charisma (Deception) checks made to pass as a living creature. While using this ability, it loses its stench.

Spellcasting

The servant of the Unsated God is a 4th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 13, +5 to hit with spell attacks). It has the following cleric spells prepared:

Cantrips (At Will): guidance, mending, resistance, thaumaturgy
1st Level (4 slots): bane, command, inflict wounds, protection from evil and good
2nd Level (3 slots): blindness/deafness, hold person, spiritual weapon

Stench

Any creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of the servant must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of its next turn. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the servant’s Stench for the next 24 hours. A servant using this ability can’t also benefit from Master of Disguise.

Sunlight Sensitivity

While in sunlight, the servant has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

Turning Defiance

The servant and any ghouls within 30 feet of it have advantage on saving throws against effects that turn undead.
