One of the various Rakshasa's, a Raktavarna is a reincarnated Rakshasa who has utterly failed in their previous incarnation.
I thought it'd be grand to have this critter attach itself to the party - Another PC-interpreted resource/treasure that I am really using to feed exposition for context and side adventure hooks.
Anyone else ever experienced or "used" this monster in their campaigns?
I have not, but it seems like a wonderful thing in a 1st level loot pile.
More for story than an actual encounter. But letting it use its Charm could be fun at low enough levels.
I am using it not "against" the PC's, not ruling it out for much later... but rather found as a loot item whose previous master was killed and has picked a master from among them.
For now, "Bishma," is a handy shape-shifting spy for that master/the party and recently (session-wise) completed its first mission for that master.

How willing to use 3rd party are you? The Spirit Blade archetype is excellent archetype for a weapon that aides its wielder.

eh, they shouldn't be too helpful, after all they're servants of rakshasa ranas, not whatever mortal they happen to be hanging around.
