Item: Successor Doll

This reversible doll shows Iapholi on one side and the harpy Ekriathe who preceded her in her line of reincarnation on the other. Non-magical successor dolls are popular gifts for children, and Iapholi often distributes them (including a handful of magical versions) on her birthday. Magical successor dolls sometimes frown, smile, or wink as if aware of their surroundings and nearby conversations.

Trigger You succeed or critically succeed when Coercing a creature

Effect The doll smugly smirks at the creature, either reinforcing how wise it is to heed your demands or innocently reminding it how much happier it is for complying. After the creature finishes following your directives, it must attempt a DC 21 Will save.

Success The creature is unaffected.

Failure The creature's fond memory of the doll's approval overwhelms any hard feelings the creature has toward you; it doesn't act against you as a result of your coercion unless your demands were truly shocking (such as forcing them to violate any anathema they have or betray a close ally).
