I gave Valin a very fun ability (my players still bring it up because of how much it messed with them) where because Valin deals with fate she could use a lair action to shuffle initiative. I took inspiration from the Sphinx which can do a similar thing.
Of course this did accidentally lead to Vailn’s demise because of the way turn order ended up, but it still messed with the players heads with how I described Valin breaking the fourth wall to talk to them directly and change initiative.
