Gameplay[]
Being a vampire, the only undead companion in game, Hexxat has several special abilities:
- Blood Drain - Drain the target (animals and regular-sized humanoids only) of 1-4 Constitution, possibly four times (so it can actually cause 0-16 Constitution damage to enemies, depending on rolls and save rolls), and knock him unconscious for 5 rounds (seems to be bugged, as it only applies a sleeping animation to the target for a few seconds and they can simply walk it off, it doesn't apply any actual sleep effect). Saving throw: Save vs. Death (there's actually four different saves with varying bonuses for the target).
- Children of the Night - Summons 1-4 creatures, depending on her level (at higher levels there's an increased chance of summoning a greater number of creatures within that 1-4 range):
- 1-10: rats
- 11-20: wolves
- 21-30: shadows. Unlike regular shadows, these have no on-hit effect, but they can cast 5x Magic Missile, 5x Mirror Image, 2x Fireball, 1x Hold Person (wizard), 2x Lightning Bolt, 2x Dimension Door, 2x Polymorph Other, 1x Animate Dead (wizard), 1x Cloudkill, 1x Shadow Door, 1x Monster Summoning III, 1x Chaos, 1x Invisible Stalker, 1x Globe of Invulnerability and 1x Flesh to Stone. These spells are cast at the minimum level possible, as the shadows have no arcane caster levels, but their summoning ignores the party's summoning limit (although their summons will count against said limit if your party members want to summon more creatures themselves), meaning it's possible for them to produce an entire army of summons, with some of them lasting even longer than the shadows themselves, like the invisible stalkers, that last for 9 hours.
- Domination (Hexxat) up to 3/day at high levels (1/day initially, 2/day at level 14) - This ability is similar to wizard spell Domination (not the priest version, because elf and half-elf resistance to charm applies to this ability), but casting time is 1, and the target has no option for release, even if made to do something against their moral. The Saving Throw to negate the effect has a -2 penalty. The effect can be reversed only by Dispel Magic.
After joining she will ask Gorion's Ward to keep Dragomir's Respite, a Bag of Holding containing her coffin. When "killed" she takes gaseous form, goes to her coffin and regenerates in a few hours. If dismissed, she waits in the Copper Coronet.
She comes equipped with a non-removable Hexxat's Amulet, which provides 1 HP/round regeneration, immunity to Charm creature, Panic, Berserk, Poison, Sleep, Paralyze, Poison damage, Disease, Level drain and Ability Score Drain not caused by illithids.[1] Despite being undead, she can be healed by healing spells.
Sun damages her however, but the Cloak of Dragomir allows her to travel under the sun, with penalties to her ability scores. She will refuse to use anti-undead items such as Daystar, the Burning Earth, or Protection From Undead.
Biography[]
| “ | A striking woman of Chultan descent, Hexxat holds her secrets dear. When pressed, she speaks in vague terms about her mother, a cleric of Ubtao, and the aunts who raised her. Of her life beyond childhood, she says nothing, other than that her immediate assignment was given her by someone known only as L. Discretion is a requirement of Hexxat's profession, and she prides herself on being a consummate professional. | ” |

As every potential companion, she can be summoned to the pocket plane. If dismissed, she will wait there.
She now joins the party even if Gorions Ward is above a reputation of 18.
Under unknown circumstances (perhaps if not summoned to the pocket plane) she can be found in the Inn in Amkethran, where the sleeping area is.
