description: The velstracs' unofficial ambassadors, evangelists roam the farthest
  reaches of the planes to spread the word of their kind's abhorrent belief in perfection
  through pain. They are therefore the most frequently encountered velstracs on the
  Material Plane, often leading covens of hedonistic mortal flesh-sculptors or serving
  as wardens of horrific dungeons. In regions ruled by infernal powers, evangelists
  may serve as lieutenants or advisors, whispering secret paths to power in exchange
  for mortals' souls or choice mortal flesh.

  description: The evangelist stares at a creature it can see within 30 feet. The
    target must immediately attempt a Will save against the evangelist's unnerving
    gaze. In addition, if the creature was already frightened, on a failed save, the
    evangelist is concealed from the creature for as long as the creature remains
    frightened. After attempting this save, the creature is then temporarily immune
