Any creature hostile to the Scribe of Hell that starts its turn within 20 feet of him must make a DC 21  Wisdom  saving throw, unless the Scribe of Hell is incapacitated. On a failed save, the creature is  frightened  until the start of its next turn. If a creature\xe2\x80\x99s saving throw is successful, it is immune to the devil\xe2\x80\x99s  Fear  Aura for the next 24 hours. \n'b'  Spellcasting . The Scribe of Hell is a 20th-level spellcaster who uses  Intelligence  as his spellcasting ability (spell save DC 23, +15 to hit with spell attacks). He requires no material components to cast his spells. The Scribe of Hell has the following  wizard  spells prepared: \n'b'   Cantrips (at will) :  chill touch ,  light ,  minor illusion , poison spray,  prestidigitation  \n'b'  1st level (4 slots) :  comprehend languages ,  disguise self ,  illusory script ,  magic missile ,  unseen servant  \n'b'  2nd level (3 slots) :  blindness/deafness ,  hold person ,  mirror image ,  misty step  \n'b'  3rd level (3 slots) :   counterspell ,  dispel magic ,  haste ,  protection from energy  \n'b'  4th level (3 slots) :  banishment ,  dimension door ,  greater invisibility ,  polymorph  \n'b'  5th level (3 slots) :  dominate person ,  geas ,  modify memory ,  passwall  \n'b'  6th level (2 slots) :  eyebite ,  guards and wards ,  mass suggestion  \n'b'  7th level (2 slots) :  forcecage ,  plane shift  \n'b'  8th level (1 slot) :  feeblemind  \n'b'  9th level (1 slot) :  time stop  \n'b'   Magic Resistance . The devil has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. \n'b'  Magic Weapons . The Scribe of Hell\xe2\x80\x99s weapon attacks are magical. \n'b'  Meld with Text . The Scribe of Hell can enter any book, scroll, or other written material and remain hidden there as long as he wishes. If the text is damaged or destroyed, he is ejected from it without suffering damage. \n'b'  Trust Aura . The Scribe of Hell projects a 25-foot-radius trust aura. As long as the Scribe of Hell is talking, creatures in that area find his utterances so fascinating and compelling that they\xe2\x80\x99re affected as if by a  sanctuary  spell (affected creatures must make a DC 23  Wisdom  saving throw at the start of each of their turns; if the saving throw fails, they can\xe2\x80\x99t  attack  the Scribe of Hell directly until the start of their next turn). This effect ends immediately and can\xe2\x80\x99t be renewed for 1 minute if the Scribe of Hell attacks physically. Devils are not immune to this aura. \n'b'  Actions \n'b'   Multiattack . The Scribe of Hell makes two claw attacks. \n'b'  Claw .  Melee Weapon Attack : +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.  Hit : 30 (4d12 + 4) slashing damage. \n'b'  Hellfire Bolt (Recharge 5-6) .  Ranged Spell Attack : +15 to hit, range 120 ft., one target.  Hit : 65 (10d12) force damage plus 33 (6d10) thunder damage; a successful DC 20  Dexterity  saving throw halves thunder damage. \n'b'  Legendary Actions \n'b' The Scribe of Hell can take 3 legendary  actions , choosing from the options below. Only one option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature\xe2\x80\x99s turn. The Scribe of Hell regains spent legendary  actions  at the start of its turn. \n'b'   Claw Attack . The Scribe of Hell makes one claw  attack . \n'b'  Devil\xe2\x80\x99s Mark . The Scribe of Hell sprays magical ink from his fingertips at a single target within 30 feet. The target must make a successful DC 23  Dexterity  saving throw or receive a devil\xe2\x80\x99s mark: a tattoo in the shape of the Scribe of Hell\xe2\x80\x99s personal seal. All devils have advantage when they make spell or spell-like attacks against the devil-marked creature, and the creature has disadvantage on saving throws against such attacks. The mark can be removed by  remove curse  if the caster also makes a successful DC 23 spellcasting check. The mark reveals itself as desecrated to  detect evil and good . It often shifts its position on the body, especially when it\xe2\x80\x99s concealed (and usually at the most inconvenient moment). Because such marks are sometimes placed on those who\xe2\x80\x99ve made pacts with devils, NPC paladins and  clerics  might assume that any character bearing a devil\xe2\x80\x99s mark is in league with evil forces. \n'b'  Cast a Spell (Costs 3 Actions) . The Scribe of Hell casts a spell from its list of prepared spells, using a spell slot as normal. \n'b'  About \n'b' This unassuming man has walnut-colored skin and small horns, and he wears a simple, gray scribe\xe2\x80\x99s robe. \n'b' About \n'b'  Evil in Triplicate . Devils track everything, and therein lies the difference between the creatures of demonkind and the creatures of the Nine Hells. The devil responsible for all pacts, soul-stealing contracts, and documents signed in blood is Depending on your group of players, it might or might not be worth using the baron\xe2\x80\x99s true name. Pronounced at the table, it\xe2\x80\x99s likely to reduce grown men to giggles, but that might prove worthwhile as no arch-devil can stand to be laughed at. Perhaps this is why the Scribe of Hell maintains a low profile and works his evil in paper and ink?. \n'b'  Serves the Archdevil of Greed . To all outward appearances, the Scribe of Hell is the most powerful servant of the archdevil of greed, though in the infernal chain of command his immediate superior is Duke Berith, the Duke of False Coins and the Master of Accounts. To the unbiased eye, the Scribe of Hell is at least as powerful as Duke Berith, and some believe he rivals the archdevil of greed himself. However, this is not reflected in public or even in the confidential lists of Hell\xe2\x80\x99s feudal order. The Scribe of Hell is a sort of hidden archduke, and that is the way he prefers to operate, shielded by reams of paper and ranks of intermediaries. \n'b'  Humble Appearance . The Scribe of Hell is a baron, but unlike most of the princes of Hell, he does not appear wealthy, powerful, or even outwardly malignant. His simple robe seems gray from a distance, but on close inspection it is actually a white garment woven with tiny letters that describe his history and deeds in the Infernal tongue.'
