**AC:** 14 **HP:** 97 **Speed:** [object Object] **STR:** 12 **DEX:** 16 **CON:** 17 **INT:** 18 **WIS:** 12 **CHA:** 15 An ancient man in a tattered cloak with matted hair, cloudy eyes, and a deathly pallor says in a raspy voice, “Come, sit, and listen.”_ **Doomsayer.** The deathspeaker appears to be alive, if only barely, but it is an undead menace that attempts to engage people in conversation, eventually cursing the one who listens to it by predicting the listener’s death. The deathspeaker claims to be a seer who is granted glimpses into the future, saying it is there to advise people of the perils they face. Deathspeakers know their appearance can often be unsettling to humanoids, and many use disguises or heavy clothing to obscure their features. **Evil Origins.** Deathspeakers are imparted unlife from gods of trickery and deception. Chosen from people who were charlatans in life, deathspeakers rely on their former tricks to curse the living in the names of their gods. **Cadaver Sprites.** For reasons that aren’t understood, Open Game License
