Actions
Pain: Major action - Ranged psionic attack, 50 ft. range, single-target, 40 damage. Hypnotic Twirl: Major action - Martial ability, 60 ft. range, single-target, the target gains Doom (10) and has disadvantage on their next attack roll. Darkstar: Major action - Ranged psionic attack, 50 ft. range, single-target, targets Fortitude, 24 damage, Rupture (10, 2 rounds). Power Through Pain: Special - When the Temptress Helps an ally, it also damages them for 40 damage HP and inflicts Doom (26), but the ally has advantage and +1 damage mod for 1 minute. Enthralling Trance: Special - When the Temptress starts/maintains Grapple, it has a range of 30 feet and uses CHA than STR. Bloodied Focus: Special - When the Temptress is at half HP or less, it ignores all maluses and disadvantage to attack rolls and skill checks.
Tactics
Open with Hypnotic Twirl, then cycle through Darkstar and Pain. Power Through Pain should be avoided on hordes/swarms given they need their hit points badly; prioritize ranged attackers who can stay out of the danger zone.

This is exactly what it sounds like and I can’t believe Merc put this into the game.
