Compel Courage (auditory, divine, emotion, enchantment, linguistic, mental) The ostiarius inspires their willing allies and themself by whispering words of courage from their wounds. The ostiarius and their allies in a 50-foot emanation gain a +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear effects. The ostiarius can Sustain Compel Courage. Non-velstracs who accept this compelled courage find bleeding wounds opening on their own bodies to whisper in thanks. They take 1 persistent bleed damage and can’t attempt a flat check to end this damage as long as they’re compelled.

Focus Gaze (concentrate, divine, enchantment, fear, mental, visual, incapacitation) The ostiarius stares at a creature they can see within 30 feet. The creature must immediately attempt a Will save against whispering wounds. In addition, if the creature was already sickened and fails its save, the creature is fascinated by the ostiarius and can’t use hostile actions. This fascination lasts for 1 round or until the ostiarius takes any hostile action against the creature or the creature’s allies. Whether the creature succeeds at or fails the save, it is temporarily immune for 1 hour.
