Key Abilities

Aura of Protection — 10 ft radius

All friendly creatures within 10 ft add Kaial’s CHA modifier (+5) to ALL saving throws.

This is the single most important ability for the Vecna’s Grip mechanic. Lux’s CHA save goes from +0 to +5 when within Kaial’s aura.

Divine Smite

Expend spell slot on hit for extra radiant damage: 2d8 (1st), 3d8 (2nd), etc. +1d8 vs undead/fiends.

Sorcerer Spells

Access to Chill Touch, Chaos Bolt, and other sorcerer spells. Sorcery points for metamagic.

Lay on Hands

Pool of 40 HP (Paladin 8 x 5). Touch heal or cure disease/poison (5 points each).

Tactical Notes

THE LIFELINE. Kaial’s Aura of Protection is the party’s best defence against Vecna’s Grip.
Must stay within 10 ft of Lux during the descent to provide aura
Paladin/Sorcerer multiclass = smites + sorcerer spell slots = nova damage
Only 77/113 HP at session start — needs healing before heavy combat
-5 initiative means he acts LAST — party needs to protect Lux until Kaial’s turn
CHA +16 on saves (with own aura) makes him nearly unbreakable on CHA/WIS saves
Disease immunity relevant if Far Realm corruption counts as disease
