"Maletus! Get away, it was a trick! Why aren’t you listening? Oh no…not another one…hey! You keep that blade away from him you sick monster!"
——Sander Busheltoe, Halfling Adventurer
The Bloodcaster is an ancient Boabahn Sith, more experienced and powerful in its seductions. Unlike with the common Sith, its seduction is flawless, and a victim will not wake from their trance even if attacked. This allows the monster to drain an isolated creature at its whim. The only thing that differentiates a Bloodcaster from common stock in appearance is their tendency to wear reds and blacks along with their traditionally white robes or tunics. The extent of their abilities becomes fully understood, however, when the Bloodcaster uses the blood of her victims to power her sinister magics. Through it, she can infuse her illusions into a semi-solid state and cause frightening physical damage to her enemies.

Boabhan Sith Characteristics
Boabahn Sith are unnaturally beautiful, vampiric female fey. Most stand about 5 to 51/2 feet tall and are slender at 110 to 130 pounds. Their hair ranges from golden to completely black, but never a dirty mix. At a first glance they appear to be normal elves, but when one witnesses their seducing dance, their true nature is soon to be revealed. A Boabahn Sith is always extraordinarily beautiful to males of any race, and they prefer to draw them in with their illusions and seductive gyrations. While this ability works on any male, females can also be drawn in as well, enchanting them into submission. The Boabahn Sith is vampiric in nature and will use its temptations to lure in food. A Boabahn Sith drains blood from a victim through tiny serrated suckers on the insides of their hands. The blood is then stored underneath the skin in tiny little sacks, which can be released and consumed by the Sith at will or saved for later use. Catching a Boabahn Sith licking blood from her hands is an indication that she has recently fed and is enjoying the last of her meal.
Culture
These creatures often work alone, and prefer to wander around solitary areas, such as uninhabited forests, overgrown ruins, and other beautiful locations. These settings are ideal for isolating weary travelers who are more susceptible to seduction after a hard day’s march. They prefer to attract humanoids more like themselves, such as humans and elves. This suggests a certain sort of romantic association with how they feed, but if a Sith has not eaten in a long time, they will gladly drain the blood of dwarves, orcs, or halflings. For some reason that is unknown, they have an aversion to gnomes, perhaps because gnomes are adept with illusory magic and deceptions, making them less likely to be taken in by a Boabahn Sith’s charms. These twisted Fey also refuse to drink the blood of animals, seeing it as savagery of the lowest order. These vampiric creatures are also well known in underground black markets for utilizing their unique ability to store blood underneath their skin. They can, and will, use the blood of powerful or important individuals for blackmail, or simply sell the blood for use in rituals and curses to hated enemies.
History
In certain parts of the world these creatures are well known and may only inhabit specific continents. They are believed to be spirits by many, but in truth they are nocturnal fey that somewhere along the line, developed a taste for blood. Their magical nature may have changed this hunger from a desire to a need, now creating the monstrosity that can only sustain itself on humanoids. Legends tell of these beautiful temptresses that appear as elves in the middle of the night, seemingly from out of nowhere to “relieve” weary travelers. What is left behind is a drained, lifeless body covered with suction marks about the throat and chest, their killer gone with the rising of the sun.
