Slaaneshi Icon-Bearer

Saves: Willpower +6

Standard of Excess. Slaaneshi allies within 30 feet gain +5 ft. Movement and +1 initiative; the icon's perfume reaches further than sight.

Fascination. An enemy that fails a fear save within 30 feet of the icon is drawn one move toward it instead of away — dread rewritten as need.

Beautiful Even Broken. When the bearer falls, the icon's auras persist where it lands for one full round, and touching the icon is a Corruption risk dressed as a souvenir.

Perfumed Lash. Melee Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 1d8 + 2 slashing damage, and the target makes a Willpower Save DC 13 or spends its reaction staring at the icon.

Raise the Sign. The bearer intensifies the aura for a round: every Slaaneshi ally within 30 feet may immediately move up to half its Movement toward an enemy as a free action.

Morale: Fights to the death beneath the icon, radiant and certain; the aura matters more than the arm holding it.

Tactics: Its aura converts the mob's speed advantage into contact a round earlier than the party plans for. Fascination is the cruel trick — party members who fail fear saves walk toward the blades. Make destroying the icon distinct from killing the bearer, and make handling the pieces a temptation.

Loot / Evidence / Hooks: Pieces of the broken icon; the perfume clings to whoever carries them for days, and so does something else.

The Slaaneshi Icon-Bearer carries a symbol that turns fear into obsession — enemies who should flee it find themselves drawn nearer instead. Its aura does not steady allies so much as intoxicate them.

Use this enemy to make a Slaaneshi formation faster and hungrier, and to tamper with the party's own instincts for distance.

Moderate durability, weak attacks, ally speed and frenzy amplification, enemy fascination effects, high-value kill with a lingering aura.
