Enner Liesth, Tangler Of Lineages

While impeccably dressed according to the current fashion, this man isn't much to look upon himself, even if his voice does capture the listeners' attention.

Know Desires (Su) After Enner Liesth has spent at least 1 minute conversing with a person, he can learn that person conscious preferences when it comes to romantic and/or intimate partners. Effects that block divination or telepathy thwart this ability. 

Wondrous Perfumes (Sp) Enner Liesth has a limitless supply of miraculous perfumes stored in little glass vials. A single splash can produce effects of alter selfeagle splendor, infernal healinginvisibility, silence, or sleep (heightened to 2nd level) on the user or an adjacent target that will last for up to 10 minutes. Alternatively, it can inflict 4d6 points of acid damage on a failed Reflex saving throw (using this form of perfumes on yourself automatically fails your Reflex saving throw) or cast arcane lock or knock on a door, window, or secret passage. He can lease up to three of such vials to others at any one time, with each vial containing a predetermined effect that can be used once within the next 24 hours. Splashing the perfumes from a vial doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity. And yes, he can lie about the contents of the vial.


Enner Liesth is tasked with tampering with noble lineages, undermining inconvenient succession, turning legitimacy questionable, and making sure there are ambitious royal bastards available for intrigues...

Not siring them himself, mind you, that would be preposterous. No, he operates as an advisor, arranger, and enabler, often in a guise of a courtly poet. He makes sure there are plenty of opportunities and the right mood. He might praise potential paramours to his intended target and turn off the legitimate partners, he might distract guards, chaperones, and spouses. He might arrange for potential witnesses to be elsewhere, or just at right time and place to be later able to give their testimony...
