Masquerade Role: The One Who Rejoices in Pain

• Expected to celebrate misfortune, host toasts at others’ sorrow, and delight in irony.

• Sees the future, but laughs at it, cruelly or cathartically.

Social Boon:

• When Corynn laughs in reaction to a tragic story, insult, or loss, he gains a +1 bonus to Intimidation or Insight against the speaker for 10 minutes.

Insight Boon:

• Once per phase, Corynn may force a noble to recall a past failure — the Court quiets, and the noble must “respond in kind” with a personal secret, riddle, or vow.

Drawback:

• If Corynn fails a check related to diplomacy or sincerity, he must laugh involuntarily, potentially ruining the moment and imposing a –1 penalty to the next check.

• Phase 3 (Cracking Mirror), a Fey creature within 10 feet of Corynn who fails a Will save reveals a secret as their mask briefly cracks, echoing the mask’s thorns.
