Siren Preacher

Saves: Willpower +6

Proficiencies: Deception +6, Awareness +3

Honeyed Doctrine. Cult allies within 30 feet ignore Morale and fight with ecstatic abandon (+1 to hit) while the preacher's voice carries.

Impossible Poise. A creature targeting the preacher directly with an attack first makes a Willpower Save DC 13; on a failure, the attack suffers Disadvantage — hurting it feels, briefly, unthinkable.

Devoted Bodies. Once per round, an adjacent cult ally throws itself into an attack meant for the preacher, gratefully, and takes the hit instead.

Invitation. One enemy within 60 feet that can hear the preacher makes a Willpower Save DC 13 or spends its next turn without attacking the cult, listening.

Command Performance. Two cult allies within 30 feet immediately move up to their Movement and make one attack each in a choreographed surge.

The Turn. The preacher attempts genuine conversion on a Frightened or shaken enemy within 30 feet: a failed Willpower Save DC 13 leaves the target charmed until it takes damage, unwilling to act against the cult.

Morale: Withdraws gracefully behind devotees when bloodied; if cornered, it negotiates in a voice the party should be careful about listening to.

Tactics: Keep it speaking — its action economy is spent on the party's Willpower, not their Vitality. Its bodyguards mean shooting it costs the party moral comfort as devotees dive into the fire. The fight is won at range, before its voice does the arithmetic.

Loot / Evidence / Hooks: A recruitment ledger of names and weaknesses, several of which the party will recognize.

The Siren Preacher is a cult leader who makes obedience feel like indulgence — recruitment as seduction, doctrine as permission. Its congregation fights for it because nothing has ever felt better than being told to.

Use this enemy to lead Slaaneshi cells and attack the party's cohesion with charm the dice have to respect.

Moderate durability, weak direct combat, powerful charm and morale control over both sides, decapitation target wrapped in devoted bodies.
