---

Legendary Resistance (3/Day)

If the LeShay fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

---

Actions

Multiattack. The LeShay makes two spectral blade attacks, or one spell and one blade attack.

Spectral Blade. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (2d10 + 5) force damage plus 7 (2d6) psychic damage.

Fey Charm (Recharge 5–6). The LeShay targets up to 3 creatures within 60 ft. Each must succeed on a DC 21 Charisma saving throw or be charmed for 1 minute. Charmed creatures regard the LeShay and its allies as friendly; the effect ends if the LeShay or its allies harm them.

Gaze of Oblivion (1/Day). The LeShay fixes its gaze on one creature within 60 ft. The target must succeed on a DC 21 Wisdom saving throw or be stunned for 1 minute. The target can repeat the save at the end of each of its turns.

---

Reactions

Arcane Deflection. When a creature casts a spell within 60 ft., the LeShay can use its reaction to impose disadvantage on the spell attack roll or force the caster to make a saving throw at disadvantage.

---

Legendary Actions

The LeShay can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn.

• Move. The LeShay moves up to its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
• Spellcast. The LeShay casts a cantrip.
• Fey Step (Costs 2 Actions). The LeShay teleports up to 60 ft. to an unoccupied space it can see.

---

Tactics

LeShay engage with careful precision, using stealth, teleportation, and charm magic to weaken opponents before committing to direct combat. They prioritize spellcasters and leaders, using psychic and charm effects to disrupt foes. With legendary resistances, flight, and teleportation, they manipulate the battlefield and retreat if necessary, striking only when victory is assured.

---

Description

Ethereal and aloof, LeShay embody the majesty and danger of the fey. Their alabaster skin, white hair, and black, depthless eyes inspire awe and dread. Each motion is measured, every spell deliberate, reflecting centuries of experience. To encounter a LeShay is to witness a being both beautiful and lethal, a living relic of the world’s earliest magic.

Combat

LeShay fight like chessmasters. They use Fey Charm and psychic assaults to remove key threats before engaging in direct combat. Teleportation and invisibility allow them to control engagement distance, striking where opponents are weakest. They prefer isolating targets, exploiting ranged spellcasters and leaders first. If outnumbered, LeShay retreats and strikes from shadows, letting illusions and mind-affecting abilities thin the enemy ranks.

---

Ecology

Environment: Hidden fey enclaves, arcane ruins, ancient forests suffused with magic
Organization: Solitary or paired; often guarding relics or serving as ancient fey envoys
Treasure: Magical artifacts, rare scrolls, enchanted trinkets, fey-crafted items

Society & Behavior: LeShay are guardians of fey history, collectors of magical knowledge, and arbiters of etiquette. They interact rarely with mortals, viewing most as fleeting and unworthy. Their patience spans centuries, and they may manipulate mortal affairs subtly for long-term goals.

Description

They are tall, alabaster-skinned fey with black, abyssal eyes that seem to peer into the soul. Their silver-white hair flows ethereally, and their every movement is measured and deliberate. Centuries of existence have honed them into masters of strategy, magic, and psychological warfare, making them awe-inspiring, enigmatic, and lethal. To encounter a LeShay is to witness living history, an embodiment of the fey’s ancient, untamed power.

COMBAT

Spell-Like Abilities: At will-alter self, detect thoughts, displacement, freedom, Dispel Magic, Greater, heal, greater invisibility, knock, speak with plants, spell turning, greater teleport, water breathing.

Caster level 28th; save DC 28 + spell level. The DCs are Charisma-based.

LeShay Weapons (Su): Each one carries two personal melee weapons that he or she manifests from his or her own life essence. The weapon can change form as he or she shifts from class to class, typically appearing as a club (one in each hand). When not in combat, the weapons simply do not exist, but leShay can “draw” their weapons from nowhere as a free action. LeShay weapons are considered light weapons for a leShay, regardless of their size.

Superior Two-Weapon Fighting (Ex): They fight with a leShay weapon in each hand. Because these weapons are extensions of its own body, the leShay does not take an attack or Damage penalty for attacking with two weapons.

Gaze (Su): All creatures within 30 feet who meet the gaze of a leShay become affected as if by charm monster. A Will save (DC 53) negates the effect. Each opponent within range of a gaze attack must attempt a saving throw each round at the beginning of his or her turn in the initiative order. A leShay can also actively gaze as an attack action by choosing a target within range, who must then attempt a saving throw. LeShay are immune to their own gaze. The DC is Charisma-based.

Elf Traits: Immune to magic sleep spells and effects; +2 racial bonus on Will saves against enchantment spells or effects; Low-Light Vision (can see twice as far as a human in low-light conditions); entitled to a Search check when within 5 feet of a secret or concealed door as though actively looking for it; Martial Weapon Proficiency (composite longbow, composite shortbow, longbow, longsword, and rapier) as bonus feats; +2 racial bonus on Listen, Spot, and Search checks (already figured into the statistics given above).
