Innate Spellcasting. The Luxuriae's spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 17). The Luxuriae can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
At will: Charm Person, Minor Illusion, Suggestion
3/day each: Enthrall, Invisibility, Mirror Image
1/day each: Dominate Person, Plane Shift (self only)
Contract of Desire. The Luxuriae can offer contracts that promise the fulfillment of deep-seated desires and pleasures in exchange for a soul. These contracts often lead to the mortal's downfall through obsession and excess.
Shapechanger. The Luxuriae can use its action to polymorph into any humanoid it has seen, or back into its true form. Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.
Multiattack. The Luxuriae makes two attacks with its seductive touch.
Seductive Touch. Melee Spell Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) psychic damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by the Luxuriae for 1 minute. A charmed target is obsessed with fulfilling their desires and will follow the Luxuriae’s suggestions.
Lure of Lust (Recharge 5-6). The Luxuriae emits an alluring aura in a 30-foot radius. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or become infatuated with the Luxuriae for 1 minute. Infatuated creatures have disadvantage on saving throws against the Luxuriae's spells and abilities.
The Luxuriae is designed to be a demon of temptation, embodying the essence of excessive lust and desire from Erosmire. Its innate spellcasting abilities focus on charm and illusion, enhancing its seductive nature. The Shapechanger ability allows it to adapt its appearance to entice its targets, while the Seductive Touch and Lure of Lust actions enable it to manipulate and control those ensnared by its allure. The Contract of Desire ability encapsulates its role in luring mortals into contracts that promise pleasure but lead to their ruin.
