A beautiful woman of regal bearing relaxes here, cutting an imposing figure more than twice as tall as a man. Five feathered wings, three black and two white, sprout from her back, while a sixth appears to be missing. Blue ribbons weave across the angelic figure’s form, offering only the barest hint of modesty. She holds a large crystalline halberd that seems to crackle and pulse with chaotic energy.

Additionally, up to three times per day, she can choose to reroll any die roll that she makes before it results in success or failure. She must take the result of the reroll, even if it’s worse than the original roll. Fortune’s Kiss (Su)Three times per day, as a standard action, The Herald can blow a kiss that grants good luck to any one creature within 30 feet. The target can roll his next d20 roll twice and take the better result. Piercing Gaze (Su)The Herald’s penetrating gaze burns deep into the hearts and souls of enemies within 30 feet.
