Close Quarters Fighter. Volenta doesn't have disadvantage on her ranged attack rolls when within 5 feet of a hostile creature.

Regeneration. Volenta regains 10 hit points at the start of her turn if she has at least 1 hit point and isn't in sunlight or running water. If Volenta takes radiant damage or damage from holy water, this trait doesn't function at the start of her next turn.

Spider Climb. Volenta can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Sunlight Hypersensitivity. While in sunlight, Volenta takes 20 radiant damage at the start of her turn, and she has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.

Actions

Multiattack. Volenta uses hail of daggers twice, or hail of daggers once and either thunderstone or froststar.

Hail of Daggers. Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, range 15 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d4 + 4) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) poison damage.

Thunderstone (2/day). Volenta hurls a crystalline shard at a creature, object, or surface within 30 feet. The shard shatters on impact with a blast of concussive energy. Each creature within 10 feet of the point of impact must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be knocked prone and pushed 10 feet away from that point. A creature that fails the save is also deafened until the start of Volenta's next turn.

Froststar (3/day). Volenta throws a crystalline shard at a point she can see within 30 feet. The shard explodes on impact, covering the area with thick, icy frost. Each creature within 5 feet of the point of impact must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d6 cold damage and is restrained by ice until the start of Volenta's next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half the damage and isn't restrained. A restrained creature can use its action to make a DC 14 Strength check to break free. A 5-foot-square section of ice has AC 10, 15 hit points, vulnerability to bludgeoning and fire damage, and immunity to cold, poison, and psychic damage.

Alchemist's Firebomb (1/day). Volenta hurls a flask of concentrated alchemist's fire at a point within 30 feet. The vial shatters on impact and detonates in a 10-foot radius. Any creature in that area must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 fire damage and be set ablaze. A creature set ablaze in this way takes 1d4 fire damage at the start of each of its turns, and can make an additional DC 14 Dexterity saving throw at the end of each of its turns to extinguish the flames.

Bonus Actions

Nimble Escape. Volenta takes the Disengage or Hide action.

Reactions

Volenta can take up to three reactions per round, but only one per turn. If Volenta would lose her reactions, she loses one reaction instead.

Final Conflagration. When Volenta is reduced to 0 hit points, she can use her alchemist's firebomb if available, centered on herself. (Any damage taken doesn’t carry over to her second form.)

Acrobatic Escape. When an attack misses Volenta, she can use her reaction to move up to half her speed without provoking opportunity attacks.

Caustic Splash (1/day). When Volenta takes damage from a creature within 5 feet of her, she can use her reaction to splash that creature with caustic chemicals. The creature must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 14 (4d6) acid damage and is blinded until the end of Volenta's next turn. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and isn't blinded.

Regeneration. Volenta regains 10 hit points at the start of her turn if she has at least 1 hit point and isn't in sunlight or running water. If Volenta takes radiant damage or damage from holy water, this trait doesn't function at the start of the vampire's next turn.

Spider Climb. Volenta can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Sunlight Hypersensitivity. While in sunlight, Volenta takes 20 radiant damage at the start of her turn, and she has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.

Blood Frenzy. Volenta has advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn't have all its hit points.

Actions

Multiattack. Volenta makes two attacks, only one of which can be a bite attack. If both attacks hit, she can immediately make one additional attack.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one willing creature, or a creature that is grappled by Volenta, incapacitated, or restrained. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and Volenta regains hit points equal to that amount. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. Each time the target finishes a long rest without being bitten again, it can roll one of its hit dice and add its Constitution modifier. The target’s maximum hit points increase by an amount equal to the result. (This increase can’t raise the target’s hit points above its original maximum.)

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) slashing damage. Instead of dealing damage, Volenta can grapple the target (escape DC 13).

Bonus Actions

Leap. Volenta moves up to her speed without provoking opportunity attacks. As she does, she can replace 10 feet of movement with a 10-foot high jump.

Dislocate. Volenta dislocates her joints, automatically escaping any nonmagical restraints, such as manacles or a creature that has her grappled.

Reactions

Volenta can take up to three reactions per round, but only one per turn. If Volenta would lose her reactions, she loses one reaction instead.

Spit Blood. In response to taking damage from a melee attack, Volenta spits a wad of blood at the attacking creature's eyes, forcing it to make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, the creature is blinded until the end of its next turn.

Aggress. In response to taking damage from an attack or spell, Volenta moves up to her speed toward a hostile creature she can see without provoking opportunity attacks.

Abscond. In response to escaping a grapple, Volenta uses her leap feature.

Close Quarters Fighter. Ludmilla doesn't have disadvantage on her ranged attack rolls when within 5 feet of a hostile creature.

Devil’s Sight. Ludmilla can see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 120 feet.

Regeneration. Ludmilla regains 10 hit points at the start of her turn if she has at least 1 hit point and isn't in sunlight or running water. If she takes radiant damage or damage from holy water, this trait doesn't function at the start of her next turn.

Spider Climb. Ludmilla can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Sunlight Hypersensitivity. While in sunlight, Ludmilla takes 20 radiant damage at the start of her turn, and she has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.

Form of Mist. When Ludmilla is reduced to 0 hit points, her statistics are instantly replaced by the statistics of her Mistfiend form. Her initiative count doesn't change. Excess damage doesn't carry over to her new form, but she retains any conditions she had in her previous form.

Actions

Multiattack. Ludmilla makes two Shocking Grasp attacks.

Shocking Grasp. Melee Spell Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d8) lightning damage. On a hit, the target can't take reactions until the start of its next turn.

Lightning Lance. A bolt of lightning arcs toward a creature of Ludmilla’s choice that she can see within 30 feet. Two bolts then leap from that creature to as many as two other creatures, each of which must be within 10 feet of the first creature. (A creature can be targeted by only one of the bolts.) Each creature must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 9 (2d8) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a success.

Bonus Actions

Shroud of Shadows (1/day). Ludmilla summons a shroud of shadows around her, which lasts for 8 hours or until she dismisses it as a bonus action. While the shroud remains, she gains a flying speed of 50 feet (hover) and has resistance to damage dealt by melee attacks. If Ludmilla resists damage in this way, the attacker takes the same amount and type of damage dealt.
     The first time Ludmilla takes radiant damage or damage from holy water while the shroud is present, the shroud weakens, reducing her flying speed to 25 feet and causing her to fall 20 feet. The second time Ludmilla takes radiant damage or damage from holy water while the shroud is present, the shroud immediately vanishes.

Duplicate. Ludmilla creates a perfect, intangible illusion of herself that lasts until the start of her next turn. The illusion appears in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of her. Ludmilla can then magically switch places with the illusion. While the illusion remains, it perfectly mimics Ludmilla's actions, speech, and movement, though it cannot attack. A player can make a DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check to determine which Ludmilla is illusory. The illusion vanishes if it takes any damage.

Freezing Ray. Ranged Spell Attack: +7 to hit, range 120 ft., three creatures. Hit: 7 (2d6) cold damage per ray.

Darkness (1/day). Ludmilla casts darkness with a radius of 40 feet.

Reactions

Ludmilla can take up to three reactions per round, but only one per turn. If Ludmilla would lose her reactions, she loses one reaction instead..

Misty Step. In response to taking damage or casting *darkness*, Ludmilla casts misty step. She can then immediately take the Hide action. If she’s flying, she has advantage on the check made to hide.

Disrupt Spell (3/day). 3rd-level spell, range 60 feet, components S, instantaneous. Effect: Ludmilla attempts to disrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell. If the creature is casting a spell of 3rd level or lower, it must make a DC 15 saving throw using its spellcasting ability. On a failure, the creature's spell fails and has no effect.

Mage's Reprisal. In response to being missed by a spell attack or succeeding on a saving throw against a spell, Ludmilla can immediately force the caster to succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 7 (2d6) force damage.

Close Quarters Fighter. Ludmilla doesn't have disadvantage on her ranged attack rolls when within 5 feet of a hostile creature.

Regeneration. Ludmilla regains 10 hit points at the start of her turn if she has at least 1 hit point and isn't in sunlight or running water. If she takes radiant damage or damage from holy water, this trait doesn't function at the start of her next turn.

Spider Climb. Ludmilla can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Sunlight Hypersensitivity. While in sunlight, Ludmilla takes 20 radiant damage at the start of her turn, and she has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.

Cold Sensitivity. When Ludmilla takes cold damage, she freezes into a corporeal form until the start of her next turn. While frozen in this way, she loses the attributes of her Mistform feature, loses her immunity to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons, gains vulnerability to bludgeoning and thunder damage, loses her immunity to the grappled, prone, and restrained conditions, and loses her fly speed.

Mistsight. While within fog, Ludmilla has blindsight that extends to the edge of the fog, out to a maximum of 60 feet.

Mistform. Ludmilla can enter and occupy the space of another creature, and can pass through small holes, narrow openings, and even mere cracks, though it treats liquids as though they were solid surfaces. She can't fall, and remains hovering in the air even when stunned or otherwise incapacitated. However, while making a melee attack or grappling a target, Ludmilla loses these attributes, as well as her immunity to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons and loses her immunity to the grappled, prone, and restrained conditions.

Actions

Multiattack. Ludmilla makes two attacks with her claws. She can replace one attack with a mist shards or bite attack.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) slashing damage plus 2 (1d4) necrotic damage. Instead of dealing the slashing damage, Ludmilla can grapple the target (escape DC 14).

Mist Shards. Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 30 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing damage plus 3 (1d6) necrotic damage.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one willing creature, or a creature that is grappled by Ludmilla, incapacitated, or restrained. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and Ludmilla regains hit points equal to that amount. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. Each time the target finishes a long rest without being bitten again, it can roll one of its hit dice and add its Constitution modifier. The target’s maximum hit points increase by an amount equal to the result. (This increase can’t raise the target’s hit points above its original maximum.).

Bonus Actions

Dissipate. If Ludmilla is heavily obscured by mist or fog, she takes the Hide action.

Asphyxiate. One creature within 30 feet must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target's head is surrounded by a vacuum of air for 1 minute, or while Ludmilla maintains her concentration (as if concentrating on a spell). While surrounded by this vacuum, the target is deafened, can't speak, can't breathe (but can hold its breath), and has a number of levels of exhaustion equal to three minus the number of minutes of air it has left (minimum 0). In addition, a target surrounded by this vacuum must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns or lose 1 minute of air on a failure.
    The target loses all levels of exhaustion gained in this way if it falls unconscious or the vacuum disappears. The vacuum disappears if Ludmilla takes the Hide action or if the target is ever behind full cover or more than 30 feet away from her.

Reactions

Ludmilla can take up to three reactions per round, but only one per turn. If Ludmilla would lose her reactions, she loses one reaction instead.

Fog Cloud. In response to taking damage, Ludmilla casts fog cloud without concentration.

Poison Mist. In response to taking damage from a creature within 5 feet, Ludmilla forces that creature to succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take 7 (2d6) poison damage.

Ambush. In response to hearing or seeing a creature move within 30 feet while she's hidden, Ludmilla moves up to her speed toward it and attacks it with her claws.

Close Quarters Fighter. Anastrasya doesn't have disadvantage on her ranged attack rolls when within 5 feet of a hostile creature.

Regeneration. Anastrasya regains 10 hit points at the start of her turn if she has at least 1 hit point and isn't in sunlight or running water. If she takes radiant damage or damage from holy water, this trait doesn't function at the start of her next turn.

Spider Climb. Anastrasya can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Sunlight Hypersensitivity. While in sunlight, Anastrasya takes 20 radiant damage at the start of her turn, and she has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.

Skinchange. When Anastrasya is reduced to 0 hit points, her skin sloughs off, revealing a giant, bloated, grotesque bat. Her statistics are then instantly replaced by the statistics of her second form. Her initiative count doesn’t change. Excess damage doesn't carry over to her new form, but she retains any conditions she had in her previous form.

Actions

Multiattack. Anastrasya makes three attacks with her flying sword, or two with her claws.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) slashing damage. Instead of dealing damage, Anastrasya can grapple the target (escape DC 13).

Flying Sword. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 30 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) slashing damage.

Bonus Actions

Charm. One creature within 10 feet must make a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the target is magically charmed for 1 minute or until Anastrasya loses her concentration (as if concentrating on a spell). A target that can't see Anastrasya automatically succeeds. While charmed, the target regards Anastrasya as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected; it isn't under Anastrasya's control, but takes her requests and actions in the most favorable way and lets Anastrasya bite it. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

Telekinetic Thrust. Anastrasya chooses one object weighing 1 to 50 pounds within 30 feet that isn't being worn or carried. The object flies in a straight line up to 30 feet in a direction Anastrasya chooses before falling to the ground, stopping early if it impacts against a solid surface. If the object would strike a creature, that creature must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the object strikes the target and stops moving. When the object strikes something, the object and what it strikes each take 3d8 bludgeoning damage.

Reactions

Anastrasya can take up to three reactions per round, but only one per turn. If Anastrasya would lose her reactions, she loses one reaction instead.

Night's Retreat. In response to taking damage, Anastrasya can fly up to half her speed without provoking opportunity attacks.

Call Defender (1/round). In response to being targeted by an attack, if Anastrasya has charmed a creature, she commands that creature to use its reaction, if available, to move up to its speed toward her. If the charmed creature ends its movement within 5 feet of Anastrasya, it becomes the target of the attack instead.

Telekinetic Defense. In response to being targeted by an attack or spell, Anastrasya telekinetically summons one object weighing 1 to 50 pounds within 30 feet that isn't being worn or carried, gaining half cover against the triggering attack or spell.

Actions

Multiattack. Anastrasya makes three attacks, only one of which can be a bite attack.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one willing creature, or a creature that is grappled by Anastrasya, incapacitated, or restrained. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and Anastrasya regains hit points equal to that amount. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. Each time the target finishes a long rest without being bitten again, it can roll one of its hit dice and add its Constitution modifier. The target’s maximum hit points increase by an amount equal to the result. (This increase can’t raise the target’s hit points above its original maximum.)

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) slashing damage. Instead of dealing damage, Anastrasya can grapple the target (escape DC 13).

Vomit Blood. Anastrasya spews blood in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking 7 (2d6) bludgeoning damage and 3 (1d6) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Bonus Actions

Telekinetic Storm. Each creature within a 5-foot radius of Anastrasya must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, taking 4d4 force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Horrific Screech. All creatures that can hear within a 30-foot radius must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or suffer the following effects: On a failed save, a creature has disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and concentration checks until the start of Anastrasya's next turn. If a creature fails the save by 5 or more, it is also frightened of Anastrasya until the start of her next turn. If a creature fails the save by 10 or more, it is also paralyzed until the end of Anastrasya's next turn.

Reactions

Anastrasya can take up to three reactions per round, but only one per turn. If Anastrasya would lose her reactions, she loses one reaction instead.

Wing Attack. When Anastrasya takes damage from a creature within 5 feet of her, she can force the attacker to make a DC 14 Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the attacker is pushed back 10 feet. If they fail the save by 5 or more, they also fall prone.

Vampiric Command. When a creature moves within 10 feet of Anastrasya or damages her while within 10 feet of her, she can use her reaction to force the creature to make a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, Anastrasya can command the creature as if she had cast the command spell, without expending a spell slot or using any components.

Боец Ближнего Боя. Рахадин не получает помеху на дальнобойные атаки, когда находится в радиусе 5 футов от враждебного существа

Крики мёртвых. Любое существо в радиусе 10 футов от Рахадина, которое не защищено заклинанием Сокрытие разума, слышит в своем сознании крики тысяч людей, убитых Рахадином

Фейское наследие. У Рахадина есть преимущество в спасбросках против очарования, и магия не может усыпить его

Врождённое колдовство. Врожденной заклинательной характеристикой Рахадина является Интеллект. Он может произносить следующие заклинания, не требующие никаких компонентов:
- 3/день: Призрачный скакун
- 1/день: Необнаружимость

Маска дикой природы. Рахадин может попытаться спрятаться, даже когда его лишь слегка прикрывает листва, сильный дождь, падающий снег, туман и другие природные явления

Инстинкт убийцы. Когда хиты Рахадина падают до 0, он убирает саблю и вытаскивает свои двойные скимитары, Шип и Цепь. Затем его статистика мгновенно заменяется статистикой его второй формы. Его инициатива не меняется. Избыточный урон не переносится на его новую форму, и он не сохраняет никаких состояний, которые были у него в предыдущей форме

Действия

Мультиатака. Рахадин совершает 2 атаки.

Сабля. Рукопашная атака оружием: +11 к попаданию, досягаемость 5 футов., 1 цель. Попадание: 11 (1к8 + 6) рубящего урона, и Рахадин может оттолкнуть цель до 5 футов заставить ее совершить спасбросок Силы Сл 15 или она будет сбита с ног

Отравленный дротик. Дальнобойная атака оружием: +11 к попаданию, дистанция 20/60 футов., 1 цель. Попадание: 14 (1к4 + 6 и 2к4) колющего и ядом урона, и цель должна преуспеть в спасброске Телосложения Сл 15 или будет отравлена до начала следующего хода Рахадина

Бонусные действия

Удар ветра. Рахадин движется до своей скорости по прямой к незанятому видимому им пространству, в том числе через пространство противника, не провоцируя атаки. Каждое существо в радиусе 5 футов от пространства, через которое он проходит, должно совершить спасбросок Ловкости Сл 19, получая 7 (2к6) рубящего урона при провале или половину при успехе

Вихрь Клинков. Каждое существо в радиусе 10 футов от Рахадина должно совершить спасбросок Ловкости Сл 19, получая 7 (2к6) рубящего урона при провале или половину при успехе

Реакции

Рахадин может выполнять до 3 реакций за раунд, но не более 1 за ход. Если какое-либо действие или условие не позволяет ему совершать реакции, он вместо этого теряет 1 реакцию

Неукротимый. Триггер: Враждебное существо заканчивает свой ход. Эффект: Рахадин может повторить спасбросок против 1 эффекта или состояния, влияющего на него в данный момент. (Эта реакция не имеет эффекта, если эффект или условие изначально не требовали провала спасброска)

Карающий удар. Когда Рахадин поражён рукопашной или дальнобойной атакой, он может реакцией, чтобы передвинуться до своей скорости к атакующему и совершить атаку саблей. Это передвижение не провоцирует атаки

Разоружение. Когда противник промахивается по Рахадину рукопашной атакой оружием, он может использовать реакцией заставить этого противника совершить спасбросок Сл 19 с преимуществом, если противник держит оружие двумя руками. При провале противник роняет предмет, который отбрасывается на расстояние 10 футов

Туманный шаг (1/раунд). Когда противник промахивается по Рахадину атакой или наносит ему урон, он может реакцией наложить Туманный шаг. Затем он может немедленно выполнить действие "Засада". Рахадину не нужно видеть пункт назначения, когда он вызывает Туманный шаг таким образом

Психический крик (1/день). Когда хиты Рахадина уменьшаются до 0, он может реакцией заставить свой смертный хор издать ужасный крик. Каждое существо в радиусе 60 футов от Рахадина должно совершить спасбросок Мудрости Сл 17, нанося 11 (2к10) психического урона при провале или половину при успехе. При провале на 5 или более, существо также оглушается до начала следующего хода Рахадина

Крики мёртвых. Любое существо в радиусе 10 футов от Рахадина, которое не защищено заклинанием Сокрытие разума, слышит в своем сознании крики тысяч людей, убитых Рахадином

Фейское наследие. У Рахадина есть преимущество в спасбросках против очарования, и магия не может усыпить его

Маска дикой природы. Рахадин может попытаться спрятаться, даже когда его лишь слегка прикрывает листва, сильный дождь, падающий снег, туман и другие природные явления

Действия

Мультиатака. Рахадин совершает 3 атаки скимитарами Шип и/или Цепь. Он может заменить любую из этих атак способностью Преследование

Шип. Рукопашная атака оружием: +11 к попаданию, досягаемость 5 футов., 1 цель. Hit: 9 (1к6 + 6) рубящего урона, и Рахадин может заставить цель совершить спасбросок Телосложения Сл 19 или истекать кровью в течение следующей 1 минуты. (Истекающая кровью цель должна повторять спасбросок Телосложения Сл 19 в начале каждого своего хода или получит дополнительно 1к6 рубящего урона. При успехе или получении магического исцеления цель больше не истекает кровью)

Цепь. Атака рукопашным оружием: +11 к попаданию, досягаемость 5 футов., 1 цель. Попадание: 9 (1к6 + 6) рубящего урона, и Рахадин может заставить цель совершить спасбросок Телосложения Сл 19 или снизить ее скорость до 0 до конца её следующего хода. При провале на 5 или более, она также падает ничком Rahadin can force the target to make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw or have its speed reduced to 0 until the end of its next turn. If the target fails by 5 or more, it also falls prone.

Преследование. Рахадин заставляет видимое им существо в радиусе 30 футов, совершить спасбросок Мудрости Сл 17 или получить 7 (2к6) психического урона и стать испуганным и оглушенным визжащими душами до начала следующего хода существа

Бонусные действия

Хор Смерти. Каждое существо в радиусе 10 футов от Рахадина, которое не защищено заклинанием Сокрытие разума, должно преуспеть в спасброске Мудрости Сл 17, получая 9 (2к8) психического урона при провале или половине при успехе. При провале на 5 или более оно также испугано до начала следующего хода Рахадина

Быстрый шаг. Рахадин совершает Рывок или Отход

Реакции

Рахадин может совершать до 3 реакций за раунд, но не более 1 за ход. Если какое-либо действие или состояние не позволяет ему совершать реакции, он вместо этого теряет 1 реакцию

Неукротимый. Триггер: Враждебное существо заканчивает свой ход. Эффект: Рахадин может повторить спасбросок против 1 эффекта или состояния, влияющего на него в данный момент. (Эта реакция не имеет эффекта, если эффект или условие изначально не требовали провала спасброска)

Парирование. Рахадин добавляет +5 к КД против одной рукопашной или дальнобойной атаки, которая поразила бы его, или к результату проваленного спасброска Ловкости, или не получает урона от Волшебной стрелы в этот ход. Если он таким образом заставляет рукопашную атаку промахнуться, он может немедленно использовать реакцию, если таковая имеется, чтобы нанести Ответный удар по атакующему

Ответный удар. Когда противник промахивается по Рахадину рукопашной атакой, он может реакцией переместиться до своей скорости в незанятое пространство в радиусе 5 футов от этого противника, не провоцируя атак. Затем он может немедленно совершить атаку с помощью Шипа или Цепи атаковать этого врага с преимуществом

Screams of the Dead. Any creature within 20 feet of Rahadin that isn't protected by a mind blank spell hears in its mind the screams of the thousands of people Rahadin has killed.

Fey Ancestry. Rahadin has advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put him to sleep.

Mask of the Wild. Rahadin can attempt to hide even when he is only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena.

Amber Corruption. When Rahadin is reduced to 0 hit points, his spine sprouts a long, bony tail tipped with a stinger; his fingers grow long, bony claws; his wings double in size; his mouth becomes a fanged maw; and his flesh becomes translucent and clouded with shadow. His statistics are then instantly replaced by those of his second form. His initiative count doesn’t change, excess damage doesn’t carry over, and he retains none of the conditions he had in his previous form.

Actions

Multiattack. Rahadin makes three attacks with his scimitars Thorn and/or Chain. He can replace one attack with his haunt feature.

Thorn. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d6 + 6) slashing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage, and Rahadin can force the target to make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw or bleed for the next 1 minute. (A bleeding target must succeed on a DC 19 Constitution saving throw at the start of each of its turns or take an additional 1d6 slashing damage. On a success or upon receiving magical healing, the target is no longer bleeding.)

Chain. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d6 + 6) slashing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage, and Rahadin can force the target to make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw or have its speed reduced to 0 until the end of its next turn. If the target fails by 5 or more, it also falls prone.

Haunt. Rahadin forces a creature he can see within 30 feet to succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or take 14 (4d6) psychic damage and be frightened and deafened by shrieking souls until the start of his next turn.

Bonus Actions

Deathly Choir. Each creature within 20 feet of Rahadin that isn't protected by a mind blank spell must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw, taking 18 (4d8) psychic damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. If a creature fails the saving throw by 5 or more, it is also frightened until the start of Rahadin's next turn.

Swift Step. Rahadin takes the Dash or Disengage action.

Reactions

Rahadin can take up to three reactions per round, though no more than one per turn. If an effect or condition would prevent him from taking reactions, he loses one reaction instead.

Indomitable. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: Rahadin can repeat the saving throw against one effect or condition currently affecting him. (This reaction has no effect if the effect or condition didn’t originally require it to fail a saving throw.)

Parry. Trigger: Rahadin is hit by a melee or ranged attack, fails a Dexterity saving throw, or takes damage from magic missile. Effect: Rahadin adds +6 to his Armor Class against that attack or to the result of his saving throw, or takes no damage from magic missile this turn. If he causes a melee attack to miss in this way, he can then immediately use an additional reaction, if available, to use his Riposte against the attacker.

Riposte. Trigger: An enemy misses Rahadin with a melee attack. Effect: Rahadin moves up to his speed to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of that enemy without triggering opportunity attacks. He can then immediately make an attack with Thorn or Chain attack against that enemy with advantage.

Screams of the Dead. Any creature within 20 feet of Rahadin that isn't protected by a mind blank spell hears in its mind the screams of the thousands of people Rahadin has killed.

Fey Ancestry. Rahadin has advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put him to sleep.

Magic Resistance. Rahadin has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Devil’s Sight. Magical darkness doesn’t impede Rahadin’s darkvision.

Actions

Multiattack. Rahadin makes one attack with his tail stinger, one attack with his necrotic slam, and two attacks with his claws.

Tail Stinger. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) poison damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned until the start of Rahadin’s next turn. While poisoned, the target can’t regain hit points.

Necrotic Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage plus 9 (2d8) necrotic damage. If the target is a creature, its hit point maximum decreases by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) slashing damage.

Bonus Actions

Shrieking Resonance. Rahadin’s screams of the dead release a shriek that resonates with all amber shards in a sixty-foot radius. Each creature in that area carrying an amber shard must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be dazed until the start of Rahadin’s next turn. If a creature’s saving throw fails by 10 or more, it’s stunned until the start of Rahadin’s next turn instead.

Corrupted Command. Each creature Rahadin has damaged this turn must succeed on a DC 18 Charisma saving throw or suffer the effects of a crown of madness spell until the start of Rahadin’s next turn. While a creature is charmed in this way, Rahadin can cause it to move up to half its speed before attacking.

Finger of Death (1/day) Rahadin casts finger of death.

Reactions

Rahadin can take up to five reactions per round, though no more than one per turn. If an effect or condition would prevent him from taking reactions, he loses one reaction instead.

Indomitable. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: Rahadin can repeat the saving throw against one effect or condition currently affecting him. (This reaction has no effect if the effect or condition didn’t originally require it to fail a saving throw.)

Claws. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn within 5 feet of Rahadin. Effect: Rahadin attacks that creature with his claws.

Rampage. Trigger: Rahadin reduces a creature to 0 hit points with a melee attack. Effect: Rahadin can move up to half his speed and make one attack.

Incorporeal Movement. Varushka can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. She takes 5 (1d10) force damage if she ends her turn inside an object.

Overwhelming Despair. When Varushka drops to 0 hit points, her sclera darken and a shroud of swirling mist and whispering shadows surrounds her. Her statistics are then instantly replaced by the statistics of her second form. Her initiative count doesn't change. Excess damage doesn't carry over to her new form, but she retains any conditions she had in her previous form.

Actions

Multiattack. Varushka uses warp flesh twice. She can replace one or both with animate minor object.

Animate Minor Object. Varushka animates an undamaged Small or Medium object she can see within 30 feet for 1 minute or until the object is destroyed. The object becomes an animated minor object (see below). It acts on Varushka’s initiative, but takes its turn immediately after hers

Animate Major Object (1/day). Varushka animates an undamaged Large object she can see within 30 feet for 1 minute or until the object is destroyed. The object becomes an animated major object (see below). It acts on Varushka’s initiative, but takes its turn immediately after hers.

Warp Flesh. Varushka forces one creature she can see within 30 feet to make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw. On a failure, the target takes 12 (2d8 + 3) necrotic damage and Varushka can cause its arms or legs to warp grotesquely until the start of her next turn. (A creature with warped arms can’t crawl, makes weapon attacks with disadvantage, and must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw each time it attempts to cast a spell with somatic components or lose the spell. A creature with warped legs falls prone.)

Bonus Actions

Stonemelt. Varushka turns the floor around her within 5 feet into quicksand (Dungeon Master’s Guide, p. 110) for 1 minute. A 5-foot square area turned into quicksand in this way immediately ceases to be quicksand if no creature is sunk into it.

Papercut. Varushka tears the pages from the books in the Lounge and creates a whirlwind of slicing paper centered on a point she can see within 30 feet. Each creature in a 5-foot-radius, 15-foot-tall cylinder centered on that point must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 18 (4d8) slashing damage.

Horrific Visage (1/day). Each non-undead creature within 60 feet of Varushka that can see her must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until the start of Varushka’s next turn. If a target’s save fails by 5 or more, the target is also turned while frightened in this way. (A turned creature must take the Dash action and move away from the source of its fear by the safest available route on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move.)

Reactions

Varushka can take up to three reactions per round, though no more than one per turn. If an effect or condition would prevent her from taking reactions, she loses one reaction instead.

Indomitable. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: Varushka can repeat the saving throw against one effect or condition currently affecting her. (This reaction has no effect if the effect or condition didn’t originally require it to fail a saving throw.)

Swap. In response to being targeted by an attack or spell, or by being placed in a spell’s area of effect, Varushka forces a creature she can see within 30 feet other than the attacker or caster to make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw. On a failure, she and the target switch places, and the target suffers the effects of the attack or spell instead.

Adhere. In response to being missed by a melee attack, Varushka forces the creature to make a DC 15 Strength saving throw. On a failure, the weapon or limb used in the attack is adhered to a nearby surface until the start of Varushka’s next turn.

Erupt (1/day). In response to being reduced to 0 hit points, Varushka forces each creature within 30 feet to succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or take 11 (2d10) force damage and be pushed 20 feet away. If the target can’t move the full distance, it takes an additional 1d6 bludgeoning damage for each 5 feet not moved and falls prone.

Close Quarters Fighter. Varushka doesn't have disadvantage on her ranged attack rolls when within 5 feet of a hostile creature.

Incorporeal Movement. Varushka can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. She takes 5 (1d10) force damage if she ends her turn inside an object.

Actions

Multiattack. Varushka makes two attacks with her life drain and/or mist garrote attacks.

Life Drain. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) necrotic damage and Varushka forces the target to make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target falls prone and its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.

Mist Garrotte. Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, range 30 ft., one creature. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) slashing damage and the target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or rise vertically 10 feet and remain suspended there until the start of Varushka’s next turn. While suspended, the target’s speed is 0 and it can’t speak or cast a spell that includes a verbal component.

Bonus Actions

Vampiric Mist. Tendrils of blood-red mist extrude from Varushka, touching each creature within 5 feet of her. A target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 9 (2d8) necrotic damage and have disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes before the start of Varushka’s next turn. Varushka regains hit points equal to half the damage taken (rounded up), and the target’s hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if its hit point maximum is reduced to 0.

Dark Whispers. Dissonant, mournful whispers fill the air around Varushka, forcing each creature within 30 feet to succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or take 3 (1d6) psychic damage and gain disadvantage on the first attack roll or saving throw it makes before the start of Varushka’s next turn.

Reactions

Varushka can take up to three reactions per round, though no more than one per turn. If an effect or condition would prevent her from taking reactions, she loses one reaction instead.

Indomitable. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: Varushka can repeat the saving throw against one effect or condition currently affecting her. (This reaction has no effect if the effect or condition didn’t originally require it to fail a saving throw.)

Misty Step. In response to taking damage, Varushka teleports up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space. She can then immediately make a life drain attack against a creature within reach.

Calming Whispers. In response to a creature that she can see within 10 feet targeting her with an attack or spell, Varushka forces that creature to succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature takes 5 (2d4) psychic damage and gains one level of exhaustion for the next minute. If the creature wasn’t already exhausted, it can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns except this one, decreasing its exhaustion by one level on a success.

Hag Coven. The coven includes three hags: Morgantha, Bella, and Offalia. A hag acts on her own initiative, keeps concentration and suffers conditions independently, and has her own action, bonus action, reaction, and movement. Any damage a hag takes is subtracted from the coven's hit points. (If multiple hags take damage from the same source, the coven loses hit points that many times.)

Close Quarters Fighter. The coven doesn't have disadvantage on their ranged attack rolls when within 5 feet of a hostile creature.

Magic Resistance. The coven has advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects.

Spellcasting. The coven's spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 17, +9 to hit with spell attacks).

Complex Casting. If a hag casts a spell on her turn using a bonus action, she can also use her action to cast a non-cantrip spell on the same turn.

Second Phase. If the coven is reduced to 0 hit points, its statistics are instantly replaced by those of **The Nightmare Three**. Its initiative remains the same. Excess damage doesn't carry over to its new form, but it retains any conditions it had in its previous form.

Actions

Blindness/Deafness (Bella Only). Bella casts blindness/deafness. A target takes an additional 7 (2d6) necrotic damage if it fails the saving throw, or half damage on a success.

Putrid Radiance (Bella Only). 2nd-level necromancy, 30 feet, components V S M, instantaneous. Effect:: Dim, greenish light bursts within a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on a point that Bella chooses within range. Each creature within that area must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or take 2d6 radiant damage and be poisoned until the end of its next turn.

Ray of Enfeeblement (Offalia Only). Offalia casts ray of enfeeblement. A target takes an additional 9 (2d8) necrotic damage on a hit.

Acid Arrow (Offalia Only). Offalia casts Melf's acid arrow.

Ray of Sickness (Morgantha Only). Morgantha casts ray of sickness.

Withering Rot (Morgantha Only). 1st-level necromancy, 30 feet, components V S M, instantaneous. Effect: Necromantic energy washes over a creature of Morgantha's choice within range, which must make a Constitution saving throw. The target takes 13 (3d8) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Bonus Actions

Crown of Madness (Bella Only). Bella casts crown of madness. A target takes an additional 5 (2d4) psychic damage if it fails the saving throw, or half damage on a success. (Bella can use her bonus action to maintain control over the target, rather than her action.)

Phantasmal Force (Bella Only). Bella casts phantasmal force. A target takes an additional 5 (2d4) psychic damage if it fails the saving throw, or half damage on a success.

Cause Fear (Offalia Only). Offalia casts cause fear at 2nd level. A target takes an additional 5 (2d4) psychic damage if it fails the saving throw, or half damage on a success.

Bestow Curse (Offalia Only). Offalia casts bestow curse with a range of up to 30 feet. A target takes an additional 7 (2d6) necrotic damage if it fails the saving throw, or half damage on a success.

Hold Person (Morgantha Only). Morgantha casts hold person at 3rd level. A target takes an additional 5 (2d4) necrotic damage if it fails the saving throw, or half damage on a success.

Lightning Bolt (Morgantha Only, Recharge 5-6). Morgantha casts lightning bolt.

Claws (Any). Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) slashing damage.

Reactions

Spectral Shadows (Bella Only). 1st-level illusion, self, components V S, instantaneous. Effect: In response to being hit by an attack, Bella can use her reaction to briefly conjure two illusory duplicates in her space. The attacker must roll a d6, hitting Bella on a 5 or 6 and hitting a duplicate otherwise.

Maniacal Mirth (Offalia Only). 1st-level enchantment, 30 feet, components V S M, instantaneous. Effect: In response to taking damage from a creature that Offalia can see within range, Offalia can use her reaction to force that creature to make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature falls into fits of laughter, falling prone and becoming incapacitated and unable to stand up until the end of the creature's next turn, or until it takes damage.

Witchlight Arc (Morgantha Only). 1st-level evocation, 30 feet, components V S M, 1 round. Effect: In response to taking damage from a creature that Morgantha can see within range, Morgantha can use her reaction to send a beam of crackling blue energy toward her attacker, forcing them to succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or take 6 (1d12) lightning damage. On a failure, the beam forms an arc of lightning connecting Morgantha to the attacker until the start of its next turn. While the arc lasts, Morgantha has resistance to all damage, and each time she takes damage, the connected creature takes the same amount of damage.

Misty Step (Any). In response to taking damage, a hag can use her reaction to cast misty step.

Боец в узком пространстве. Изек не получает помехи к броскам дальнобойных атак, находясь в пределах 5 футов от враждебного существа

Вторая фаза. Когда у Изека остаётся 0 хитов, его руки и топор охватываются пламенем, шипы на его дьявольской руке становятся длиннее и острее, а кожа краснеет и начинает дымиться. Его характеристики мгновенно заменяются характеристиками второй формы. Порядок инициативы не меняется. Избыточный урон не переносится на новую форму, но он сохраняет все состояния, имевшиеся в предыдущей форме

Действия

Мультиатака. Изек совершает 2 атаки.

Посеребрённый боевой топор. Рукопашная атака оружием: +8 to hit, reach 5 футов, 1 target. Hit: 9 (1к8+5) рубящего урона и Изек может оттолкнуть цель до 5 футов

Метание пламени. Дальнобойная атака заклинанием: +5 to hit, range 60 футов., 1 target. Hit: 5 (1к10) урона огнём.

Бонусные действия

Вертушка. Изек вращает свой боевой топор вокруг себя. Каждое существо в радиусе 5 футов должно преуспеть в спасброске Ловкости Сл 16 или получить 4 (1к4) рубящего урона и упасть ничком. Существо, преуспевшее в спасброске, получает половину урона и не падает ничком

Огненный залп. Изек создаёт залп огненных сфер, которые обрушиваются на точку в пределах 60 футов, видимую им. Каждое существо в радиусе 10 футов от этой точки должно преуспеть в спасброске Ловкости Сл 13 или получить 5 (1к10) урона огнём

Реакции

Izek can take up to 3 reactions per round, but only one per turn. If an effect or condition would prevent him from taking reactions, he loses one reaction instead.

Несгибаемый. Trigger: Конец чужого хода. Effect: Повтор спасброска. (This reaction has no effect if the effect or condition didn’t originally require it to fail a saving throw.)

Грубое отступление. В ответ на получение урона от рукопашной атаки Изек совершает атаку-отталкивание против нападавшего. Затем он может сразу переместиться на расстояние до 15 футов от нападавшего, не вызывая провоцированных атак

Мстительный удар. В ответ на получение урона от атаки или заклинания Изек может переместиться на расстояние до 15 футов к нападавшему, не вызывая провоцированных атак. Затем он может сразу совершить атаку по этому существу своим боевым топором

Горящий удар. Рукопашная атака оружием: +8 to hit, reach 5 футов, 1 target. Hit: 7 (1к4 + 5) дробящего урона + 1 урон огнём, и Изек может оттолкнуть цель на 5 футов. При крите цель совершает спасбросок Телосложения Сл 16 или ПОТРЯСЕНА (dazed) до начала следующего хода Изека. (That creature can move or take one action on its turn, not both. It also can’t take a bonus action or a reaction.)

Пламенная волна. Волна пламени вырывается из Изека в линии длиной 60 футов и шириной 5 футов. Каждое существо в линии должно совершить спасбросок Ловкости Сл 13 или получить 9 (2к8) урона огнём. Огонь воспламеняет воспламеняемые предметы в области, которые не надеты и не несутся

Бонусные действия

Вспышка пламени. Изек вонзает свой боевой топор в землю, вызывая вихрь пламени вокруг себя. Каждое существо в радиусе 5 футов должно совершить спасбросок Ловкости Сл 13 или получить 6 (1к12) урона огнём

Взрывной удар. Яркая вспышка вырывается из когтистой руки Изека к выбранной им точке на расстоянии до 90 футов, а затем с низким ревом превращается в взрыв пламени. Каждое существо в сфере радиусом 5 футов, центрированной в этой точке, должно совершить спасбросок Ловкости Сл 13. Цель получает 6 (1к12) урона огнём при провале или половину урона при успехе. Цель, которая провалила спасбросок, также опрокидывается. Огонь распространяется за углы. Он воспламеняет воспламеняемые предметы в области, которые не надеты и не несутся

Реакции

Izek can take up to 3 reactions per round, but only one per turn. If an effect or condition would prevent him from taking reactions, he loses one reaction instead.

Несгибаемый. Trigger: Конец вражеского хода. Effect: Переброс спасброска. (This reaction has no effect if the effect or condition didn’t originally require it to fail a saving throw.)

Горячий след. В ответ на получение урона от атаки или заклинания Изек устремляется вперёд с помощью потока потрескивающего пламени, перемещаясь на расстояние до 30 футов без вызова провоцированных атак. Затем он может сразу совершить атаку горящим ударом по существу в пределах досягаемости

Искры золы. В ответ на получение урона от рукопашной атаки Изек заставляет воздух вокруг себя взорваться вихрем искрящейся золы. Нападающий должен совершить спасбросок Телосложения Сл 13 или получить 1 урон огнём и быть ослеплённым до конца своего следующего хода

Ответный ожог (1/раунд). В ответ на получение урона от рукопашной атаки металлическим оружием Изек заставляет предмет раскалиться докрасна до начала своего следующего хода. Любое существо, находящееся в физическом контакте с оружием, сразу получает 3 (1к6) урона огнём и должно совершить спасбросок Телосложения Сл 13 или уронить оружие, если это возможно. Если оно не уронит предмет, оно получает помеху на атаки и проверки способностей до начала следующего хода Изека

Боец в узком пространстве. Предвестник гибели не получает помеху к броскам дальнобойных атак, находясь в пределах 5 футов от враждебного существа

Прорицательные чувства. Предвестник гибели может видеть на 60 футов в Эфирный план, находясь на Материальном плане, и наоборот

Бестелесное перемещение. Предвестник гибели может перемещаться сквозь других существ и предметы, как если бы они были труднопроходимой местностью. Он получает 5 (1к10) урона силой, если заканчивает свой ход внутри предмета

Действия

Мультиатака. Предвестник гибели совершает 2 атаки

Кинжал Ба`ал Верзи. Дальнобойная атака оружием: +8, 30 футов. Попадание: 6 (1к4 + 4) пронзающего урона и цель должна совершить спасбросок Мудрости Сл 16, при провале получая 12 (5к4) некротического урона и становясь проклятым до начала следующего хода предвестника гибели. При успехе цель получает половину некротического урона и не проклята. Пока цель проклята, она передвигается вдвое медленнее и не может восстанавливать хиты, а предвестник гибели совершает броски атаки против неё с преимуществом. Предвестник гибели не получает помеху на бросок этой атаки из-за противника в 5 футах

Хватка могилы. Рукопашная атака оружием: +8, 5 футов. Попадание: 15 (6к4) некротического урона и цель схвачена пока предвестник гибели не потеряет концентрацию или пока цель действием не освободится (Атлетика/Акробатика Сл 16). (Перетаскивание захваченной цели не заставляет предвестника гибели передвигаться медленнее.) Предвестник гибели может затем мгновенно передвинуться до половины скорости без провоцирования атак. До конца захвата цель опутана и получает дополнительно 7 (3к4) некротического урона в начале каждого своего хода, и предвестник гибели не может использовать Хватку могилы на другую цель

Бонусные действия

Стонущие души. Покров стонущих духов окружает каждое существо в пределах 5 футов от предвестника гибели. Каждое существо в этой области должно совершить спасбросок Телосложения Сл 16 или получить 7 (2к6) некротического урона и быть ПОТРЯСЁННЫМ до начала следующего хода предвестника гибели

Вопль покинутых (перезарядка 5-6). Духи в плаще предвестника гибели издают безумный булькающий крик. Каждое существо в пределах 60 футов должно совершить спасбросок Мудрости Сл 16 или стать испуганным до начала следующего хода предвестника гибели

Реакции

Мститель может совершать до 3 реакций за раунд, однако не более 1 за ход. Если эффект или состояние помешало бы ему совершать реакции, он вместо этого теряет 1 реакцию

Несгибаемый. Триггер: Конец хода противника. Эффект: Предвестник гибели может повторить спасбросок против одного эффекта или состояния, которое в данный момент на него действует. (Эта реакция не имеет эффекта, если изначально эффект или состояние не требовали от него провалить спасбросок)

Призрачное предвидение. В ответ на то, что на него нацелена атака или заклинание, требующее спасброска, предвестник гибели накладывает помеху на бросок атаки или получает преимущество на спасбросок. После совершения броска предвестник гибели может немедленно переместиться на расстояние до половины своей скорости, не провоцируя атаки возможности

Петля Предателя. В ответ на то, что на него нацелена рукопашная атака, предвестник гибели проявляет призрачную петлю, которая свободно свисает вокруг шеи нападающего, заставляя его совершить спасбросок Мудрости Сл 16. При провале нападающий охватывается кратковременной ослепляющей яростью на другое существо на выбор предвестника гибели и вместо этого должен немедленно реакцией, если она доступна, переместиться на свою скорость к этому существу и совершить ту же рукопашную атаку против него. Затем петля исчезает

Преследующие эха. В ответ на получение урона от существа предвестник гибели заставляет это существо совершить спасбросок Мудрости Сл 16. При провале существо получает 9 (2к8) психического урона и имеет помеху на следующий бросок атаки или проверку характеристики, которую оно совершит до начала своего следующего хода

Close Quarters Fighter. Ithuriel doesn't have disadvantage on his ranged attack rolls when within 5 feet of a hostile creature.

Innate Spellcasting. Ithuriel's spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 19). He can innately cast the following spells, requiring only verbal components:
At will: detect evil and good
1/day each: commune, raise dead

Magic Resistance. Ithuriel has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Fallen Grace. When Ithuriel is reduced to 0 hit points, his form expands and twists, becoming a massive creature with the head of a lion, the body of a ram, the wings of a bat, and the tail of a crocodile. His statistics are then instantly replaced by the statistics of his second form. His initiative count doesn't change, excess damage doesn't carry over to his new form, and he retains none of the conditions he had in his previous form. He then immediately uses his frightful presence reaction.

Actions

Multiattack. Ithuriel makes two attacks. He can replace one of those attacks with ray of light.

Mace. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage plus 4 (1d8) radiant damage.

Palm. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage, and Ithuriel can force the target to make a DC 18 Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target is pushed up to 10 feet away or grappled (escape DC 18).

Ray of Light. Ranged Spell Attack: +10 to hit, range 30 feet, one target. Hit: The target takes 9 (2d8) radiant damage and is outlined in radiant light until the end of Ithuriel's next turn. Any attack roll against an affected creature or object has advantage if the attacker can see it, and the affected creature or object can't benefit from being invisible.

Healing Touch (3/Day). Ithuriel touches another creature. The target magically regains 24 (4d8 + 5) hit points and is freed from any curse, disease, poison, blindness, or deafness.

Change Shape. Ithuriel magically polymorphs into a humanoid or beast that has a challenge rating equal to or less than his own, or back into its true form. He reverts to his true form if he is reduced to 0 hit points. Any equipment he is wearing or carrying is absorbed or borne by the new form (Ithuriel's choice). In a new form, Ithuriel retains his game statistics and ability to speak, but his AC, movement modes, Strength, Dexterity, and special senses are replaced by those of the new form, and he gains any statistics and capabilities (except class features, legendary actions, and lair actions) that the new form has but that he lacks.

Bonus Actions

Divine Wind. Ithuriel unleashes a powerful gale from his angelic wings in a 10-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or take 14 (4d6) slashing damage and be pushed 10 feet away.

Sacred Radiance (1/day). Ithuriel's form bursts with divine light. Each creature that can see him within 20 feet must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or take 14 (4d6) radiant damage. A creature that fails the saving throw by 5 or more is also blinded until the start of Ithuriel's next turn. A creature that fails the saving throw by 10 or more is also charmed by Ithuriel until the start of his next turn. While charmed in this way, the creature must fall prone to grovel before Ithuriel at the start of its turn, then immediately end its turn.

Reactions

Ithuriel can take up to three reactions per round, but only one per turn. If an effect or condition would prevent him from taking reactions, he loses one reaction instead.

Indomitable. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: Ithuriel can repeat the saving throw against one effect or condition currently affecting it. (This reaction has no effect if the effect or condition didn’t originally require it to fail a saving throw.)

Punish. In response to an enemy hitting or missing him with a melee attack, Ithuriel makes a palm attack against it.

Descend. In response to hitting an enemy with a Palm attack or Punish reaction, if Ithuriel has grappled that enemy and is at least 40 feet in the air, he can then move up to his speed toward the ground without provoking opportunity attacks and force the target to make a DC 17 Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target falls prone, it takes 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage per 10 feet fallen, and Ithuriel can use up to his remaining movement, if any, to push it in a straight line in any direction while grinding it against the earth, dealing an additional 2 (1d4) bludgeoning damage per 10 feet moved along the ground. (This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.)

Ascend. In response to taking damage, Ithuriel releases any creatures he has grappled, then flies up to one third of his speed without provoking opportunity attacks.

Shift (Costs 2 Reactions). In response to suffering one of the following conditions, Ithuriel momentarily assumes the form of the corresponding beast, ending the condition: blinded (giant bat), grappled (octopus), paralyzed (giant poisonous snake), prone (giant spider), restrained (mouse), or stunned (jellyfish). Ithuriel then immediately returns to his true form.

Close Quarters Fighter. Ithuriel doesn't have disadvantage on his ranged attack rolls when within 5 feet of a hostile creature.

Magic Resistance. Ithuriel has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Actions

Multiattack. Ithuriel makes one attack with his claws and one with his bite or radiant darts

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d10 + 6) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) radiant damage. If the target is a creature, it is grappled (escape DC 19). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and Ithuriel can't bite another target.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) slashing damage.

Radiant Darts. Ranged Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, range 30 ft., three separate targets. Hit: 7 (2d4 + 2) radiant damage.

Bonus Actions

Erupt Earth. Ithuriel slams his tail against the ground, causing fountains of churned earth and stone to erupt in a 5-foot radius around him. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 19 Strength saving throw or take 7 (2d6) bludgeoning damage and fall prone.

Eclipse Beam (Recharge 5-6). Ithuriel exhales a burst of brilliant radiance and shadowy mirk in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw, taking 9 (2d8) radiant damage plus 9 (2d8) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Reactions

Ithuriel can take up to three reactions per round, but only one per turn. If an effect or condition would prevent him from taking reactions, he loses one reaction instead.

Indomitable. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: Ithuriel can repeat the saving throw against one effect or condition currently affecting it. (This reaction has no effect if the effect or condition didn’t originally require it to fail a saving throw.)

Tail. In response to being missed or hit by a melee attack, Ithuriel makes the following attack against the attacker: Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d4 + 6) bludgeoning damage and the target must make a DC 19 Strength saving throw. On a failure, Ithuriel can either knock it prone or push it up to 5 feet away (Ithuriel's choice).

Wings (1/round). In response to a creature he can see completing a spell, making an attack, or moving to a space within 60 feet of him, Ithuriel beats his wings, forcing each creature within 5 feet of him to succeed on a DC 19 Strength saving throw or be pushed 5 feet away and knocked prone. Ithuriel can then fly up to his speed toward the original creature without triggering opportunity attacks.

Frightful Presence (1/day). In response to assuming his second form, Ithuriel forces each creature of his choice within 120 feet that is aware of him to make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, a creature is frightened of Ithuriel until the end of its next turn. A creature that fails the saving throw and has 30 hit points or fewer falls unconscious for 1 minute, until it takes damage, or until someone uses an action to shake or slap it awake.

Regeneration. Kiril regains 20 hit points at the start of its turn. If he takes necrotic damage or bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage from a silvered weapon, this trait doesn't function at the start of his next turn

Keen Hearing and Smell. Kiril has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.

Second Phase. When Kiril is reduced to 0 hit points, he digs his claws into his chest, pulls out his own heart, and devours it. He then doubles in height and breadth, gaining a hunched back, bony protrusions along his arms and shoulders, and a grotesque, bloated head with oversized fangs and teeth, as well as a pair of toothy jaws for eyes. His statistics are then instantly replaced by the statistics of his second form. His initiative count doesn’t change. Excess damage and conditions don’t carry over to his new form.

Actions

Multiattack. Kiril makes three melee attacks, up to one of which can be a Bite.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack, +9 to hit, range 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) slashing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 17 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack, +9 to hit, range 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) piercing damage. If the target is a Humanoid, it must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with werewolf lycanthropy until Kiril dies. If the target was already cursed with werewolf lycanthropy, it can't regenerate until it completes a long rest.

Bonus Actions

Alpha's Howl. Any number of targets within 60 feet that can hear Kiril and that Kiril has cursed with werewolf lycanthropy must make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw, losing one level of lycanthrope corruption on a success (minimum 0). On a failure, a target gains one level of lycanthrope corruption (maximum 2) and must immediately use its reaction, if available, to move up to its speed toward a random creature other than Kiril and make a number of unarmed strikes against it equal to its number of levels of lycanthrope corruption.

A target with one level of lycanthrope corruption gains wolflike claws and can use its claws to make an unarmed strike, dealing 2d4 slashing damage plus its Strength modifier (minimum 2) on a hit. A target with two levels of lycanthrope corruption also gains a wolflike muzzle and can use its bite to make an unarmed strike, dealing 1d8 piercing damage plus its Strength modifier (minimum 2) on a hit. A Humanoid bitten in this way must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with werewolf lycanthropy until Kiril dies.

Savage Frenzy. Kiril leaps up to his speed without triggering opportunity attacks. Each creature within 5 feet of him must then make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 7 (2d6) slashing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Shapechange. Kiril polymorphs into his human form or into a dire wolf, or back into his true form (a wolf-humanoid hybrid). His statistics, other than his AC, are the same in each form. Any equipment he is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. He reverts to his human form if he dies.

Reactions

Kiril can take up to three reactions per round, but only one per turn. If an effect or condition would prevent him from taking reactions, he loses one reaction instead.

Indomitable. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: Kiril can repeat the saving throw against one effect or condition currently affecting him. (This reaction has no effect if the effect or condition didn’t originally require it to fail a saving throw.)

Pounce. In response to a creature moving within 30 feet, Kiril moves up to his speed toward it without triggering opportunity attacks.

Claw. In response to being missed by an attack made by a creature within 5 feet, Kiril attacks that creature with his claws.

Bite. In response to being hit by an attack made by a creature within 5 feet, Kiril attacks that creature with his bite.

Regeneration. Kiril regains 20 hit points at the start of his turn. If he takes necrotic damage or bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage from a silvered weapon, this trait doesn't function at the start of his next turn

Keen Hearing and Smell. Kiril has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.

Weak Grip. If Kiril takes 30 damage or more on a single turn, he must succeed on a DC 20 Strength saving throw at the end of that turn or release any creatures he is grappling.

Actions

Multiattack. Kiril makes one attack with his claws and one attack with his bite. He can replace the bite with a swallow if he already has a target restrained with his bite.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, range 10 ft., 1 target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) slashing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or be pushed 5 feet away or grappled (Kiril's choice).

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, range 10 ft., 1 target. Hit: 18 (2d12 + 5) piercing damage. If the target is Large or smaller, it is grappled (escape DC 18). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and Kiril can't bite another target.

Swallow. Kiril makes one bite attack against a Medium or smaller creature he has restrained with his bite. If the attack hits, the target takes the bite's damage, the target is swallowed, and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside Kiril, and it takes 7 (2d6) acid damage at the start of each of Kiril's turns. If Kiril takes 20 damage or more on a single turn, he must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of him. Kiril must also immediately regurgitate all swallowed creatures if he dies.

Bonus Actions

Nightmare Howl. Each creature within 60 feet of Kiril that can hear him must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 5 (2d4) psychic damage and is frightened until the start of Kiril's next turn. If a target's saving throw is successful, the target can’t be frightened by Kiril's Nightmare Howl for the next 24 hours.

Shadow Beam. A 5-foot-wide, 100-foot-long beam of swirling shadows bursts from Kiril’s maw. Each creature in that area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 9 (2d8) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a success. A target grappled by Kiril’s bite automatically fails the saving throw.

Reactions

Kiril can take up to three reactions per round, but only one per turn. If an effect or condition would prevent him from taking reactions, he loses one reaction instead.

Indomitable. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: Kiril can repeat the saving throw against one effect or condition currently affecting him. (This reaction has no effect if the effect or condition didn’t originally require it to fail a saving throw.)

Leap. In response to a creature moving within 30 feet, Kiril leaps toward it without provoking opportunity attacks. Each creature within a 5-foot radius of him must then immediately make a DC 18 Strength saving throw or fall prone.

Rend. In response to a creature moving within his reach, Kiril attacks it with his claws. If the attack misses, that creature has advantage on its next attack against Kiril before the start of its next turn.

Pin. In response to being missed by an attack made by a creature within reach, Kiril forces that creature to make a DC 18 Strength saving throw. On a failure, that creature is knocked prone and either shoved 20 feet away or grappled (Kiril's choice).

Incorporeal Movement. Zorya can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. She takes 5 (1d10) force damage if she ends her turn inside an object.

Ghostfire. Any damage Zorya deals with her breath weapon to incorporeal creatures ignores immunity to cold damage.

Ethereal Escape (1/day). If Zorya would be reduced to 0 hit points, she is instead reduced to 1 hit point and flees into the Ethereal Plane, returning to the Material Plane after 1 minute.

Actions

Breath Weapon (Recharge 5-6). Zorya exhales an icy blast of silver fire in a 10-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, taking 5 (2d4) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Reactions

Misty Step. In response to Zorya or a creature within 5 feet of her being hit or missed by an attack, Zorya casts misty step, bringing along up to one willing creature within 5 feet of her. A creature teleported in this way takes half damage from the triggering attack.

Regeneration. Vladimir regains 10 hit points at the start of his turn. If he takes fire or radiant damage, this trait doesn't function at the start of his next turn. Vladimir's body is destroyed only if he starts his turn with 0 hit points and doesn't regenerate.

Turn Immunity. Vladimir is immune to effects that turn undead.

Oathbind. If Vladimir would deal damage to a dying creature with his +2 greatsword, he can instead choose to stabilize that creature and subject it to the effects of a geas spell. This geas lasts until dispelled and can damage its bearer any number of times each day. A creature that takes damage in this way is also restrained until the start of its next turn. In addition, the geas can’t be ended or dispelled except through the effects of a greater restoration or wish spell, or if Vladimir uses an action to dismiss it.

Burning Hatred. When Vladimir is reduced to 0 hit points, black flames erupt along the hilt of his greatsword and the shadows encircling its blade become spiked black wires. His statistics are then instantly replaced by the statistics of his second form. His initiative count doesn't change, excess damage doesn't carry over to his new form, and he retains none of the conditions he had in his previous form.

Actions

Multiattack. Vladimir makes two attacks with his +2 greatsword. He can replace one of those attacks with one use of his conjure phantoms action.

Greatsword +2. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d6 + 7) slashing damage, and Vladimir can push the target up to 5 ft. away. Instead of pushing the target, Vladimir can force the target to make a DC 18 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Conjure Phantoms. Vladimir summons a pair of phantom warriors, which appear next to a hostile creature that Vladimir can see. Each warrior makes a spectral longsword attack against that creature, then disappears. A creature that takes damage in this way can’t regain hit points until the start of Vladimir’s next turn.

Bonus Actions

Reaving Sweep. Vladimir sweeps his greatsword in an arc with thunderous force, creating a shockwave that rips through a 15-foot cone in front of him. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or take 21 (6d6) slashing damage and be pushed back 5 feet. A creature that succeeds on the saving throw takes half damage and isn’t pushed.

Umbral Snare. Black-spiked wires extrude from the earth around Vladimir in a 5-foot radius. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or take 14 (4d6) piercing damage and be grappled by the wires (escape DC 19) until the start of Vladimir’s next turn. A creature that succeeds on the saving throw takes half damage and isn’t grappled. A creature that attempts to escape the grapple immediately takes an additional 7 (2d6) piercing damage, whether it succeeds or fails.

Reactions

Vladimir can take up to three reactions per round, but only one per turn. If an effect or condition would prevent him from taking reactions, he loses one reaction instead.

Indomitable. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: Vladimir can repeat the saving throw against one effect or condition currently affecting him. (This reaction has no effect if the effect or condition didn’t originally require it to fail a saving throw.)

Sworn Retribution (1/round). In response to taking damage from a creature he can see, Vladimir marks that creature until the end of his next turn. While that creature is marked, Vladimir doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks when moving directly toward it, he has advantage on the first melee attack he makes against that creature each turn and his weapon attacks against that creature score a critical hit on a roll of 19-20.

Ghostly Command. In response to taking damage from an attack or spell, Vladimir conjures a phantom soldier to shield him, reducing the damage taken by half (rounded up). This ability can’t reduce Vladimir’s damage taken by more than 10.

Martial Reprisal. In response to taking damage from an attack or spell, Vladimir moves up to half his speed toward the attacker or caster and makes an against it with his +2 greatsword if it's within reach.

Close Quarters Fighter. Vladimir doesn't have disadvantage on his ranged attack rolls when within 5 feet of a hostile creature.

Regeneration. Vladimir regains 10 hit points at the start of his turn. If he takes fire or radiant damage, this trait doesn't function at the start of his next turn. Vladimir's body is destroyed only if he starts his turn with 0 hit points and doesn't regenerate.

Rejuvenation. When Vladimir's body is destroyed, his soul lingers. After 24 hours, the soul inhabits and animates another corpse on the same plane of existence and regains all its hit points. While the soul is bodiless, a wish spell can be used to force the soul to go to the afterlife and not return.

Turn Immunity. Vladimir is immune to effects that turn undead.

Oathbind. If Vladimir would kill a creature with his +2 greatsword, he can instead choose to stabilize that creature and subject it to the effects of a geas spell. This geas lasts until dispelled and can damage its bearer any number of times each day. A creature that takes damage in this way is also restrained until the start of its next turn. In addition, the geas can’t be ended or dispelled except through the effects of a greater restoration or wish spell, or if Vladimir uses an action to dismiss it.

Actions

Multiattack. Vladimir makes two melee attacks. He can replace one of those attacks with a black flames attack.

Greatsword +2. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d6 + 7) slashing damage plus 3 (1d6) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, it has disadvantage on the first attack roll or ability check it makes before the end of its next turn.

Black Flames. Ranged Spell Attack: +10 to hit, range 30 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (2d6) fire damage plus 3 (1d6) necrotic damage, and the target ignites in black flames. At the start of its next turn, the target and each creature within 5 feet of it must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or take an additional 7 (2d6) fire damage. (The flames can’t be doused by nonmagical means.)

Bonus Actions

Gravepyre. Vladimir hurls a magical ball of black flames that explodes at a point he can see within 120 feet of him. Each creature in a 10-foot radius sphere centered on that point must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw. The sphere spreads around corners. A creature takes 10 (3d6) fire damage plus 10 (3d6) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On a failure, a creature also has disadvantage on the next attack it makes before the start of Vladimir’s next turn.

Destructive Wave. Vladimir strikes the ground with his greatsword, creating a burst of destructive energy that ripples outward from him. Each creature within 10 feet of him must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or take 10 (3d6) thunder damage plus 10 (3d6) necrotic damage and be knocked prone. A creature that succeeds on its saving throw takes half as much damage and isn’t knocked prone.

Reactions

Vladimir can take up to three reactions per round, but only one per turn. If an effect or condition would prevent him from taking reactions, he loses one reaction instead.

Indomitable. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: Vladimir can repeat the saving throw against one effect or condition currently affecting him. (This reaction has no effect if the effect or condition didn’t originally require it to fail a saving throw.)

Vengeful Rush. In response to an enemy hitting or missing him with an attack, Vladimir charges toward it, moving up to 15 feet straight toward it without triggering opportunity attacks. If Vladimir ends his movement within 5 feet of that enemy, he can force it to make a DC 18 Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target takes 2d6 bludgeoning damage and Vladimir and the target move up to an additional 10 feet in the same direction without triggering opportunity attacks. If the target can’t move the full distance, it takes an additional 1d6 bludgeoning damage for each 5 feet not moved.

Vengeful Glare. In response to taking damage from an enemy within 30 feet, Vladimir forces that creature to make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature is frightened of Vladimir until Vladimir deals damage to it or until the end of Vladimir’s next turn. If the creature fails the saving throw by 5 or more, it is paralyzed instead.

Sentinel’s Strike. In response to a creature attempting to move out of his reach without first taking the Disengage action, Vladimir makes an attack against it with his +2 greatsword. On a hit, the creature takes no damage from the attack, but it falls prone and its speed becomes 0 for the rest of the turn.

Amorphous. Vilnius can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch without expending extra movement to do so.

Illusionist Prodigy. Vilnius can concentrate on up to five spells at a time, provided all spells are of the illusion school. If he would lose concentration on one, he loses concentration on all of them.

Shadowed Restoration. If killed, Vilnius reforms in 24 hours if Jakarion is still alive, reviving with all his hit points. His new body appears in an unoccupied space within the Lecture Hall.

Find Familiar. Vilnius can cast find familiar as a ritual without components.

Actions

Multiattack. Vilnius makes two attacks with his dagger and casts *major image* or *phantasmal force* twice.

Dagger. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d4 + 4) piercing damage plus 21 (6d6) necrotic damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the end of its next turn.

Phantasmal Force. Vilnius casts phantasmal force. A creature that fails its saving throw against the spell can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns.

Major Image. Vilnius casts major image.

Bonus Actions

Blur. Vilnius casts blur.

Mirror Image. Vilnius casts mirror image. The spell lasts for 1 minute or until Vilnius loses his concentration.

Reactions

Illusionist’s Trick. Trigger: A creature attacks or casts a spell targeting Vilnius, one of his allies, or an illusion resembling them. Response: If the target is an illusion identical to one of Vilnius’s allies, or an ally identical to one of his illusions, the two swap places, as though teleported by a misty step spell.

Horrifying Visage (1/Day). Trigger: Vilnius takes damage from a creature he can see. Effect: Each non-undead creature of Vilnius’s choice within 30 feet must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Incorporeal Movement. Patrina can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. She takes 5 (1d10) force damage if she ends her turn inside an object.

Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, Patrina has disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls.

Dark Embodiment. When Patrina is reduced to 0 hit points, all amber sarcophagi within 60 feet of her extrude tendrils of shadowed mist, which she inhales. Her ethereal form then grows solid, forming pale, undead flesh and sunken amber eyes. Her statistics are instantly replaced by those of her second form. Her initiative count doesn’t change, excess damage doesn’t carry over, and she retains none of the conditions she had in her previous form. She can immediately use her soul weapon feature.

Actions

Multiattack. Patrina makes two attacks, only one of which can be an amber tentacle attack, and can use charm wielder once.

Amber Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target within 15 feet of one of the walls in X42. Amber Vault. Hit: 19 (2d12 + 6) bludgeoning damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 19 Strength saving throw or be grappled (escape DC 19) or pushed 10 feet away (Patrina’s choice). If the target fails the save by 10 or more, it also falls prone.

Corrupting Touch. Melee Spell Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (4d6 + 2) necrotic damage.

Charm Wielder. Patrina forces the creature possessing the Sunsword to succeed on a DC 19 Charisma saving throw or be charmed by her for 1 minute. While charmed, the creature must try to follow Patrina’s commands. If the creature takes damage, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on a success. The effect ends if the creature no longer possesses the Sunsword.

Bonus Actions

Animate Golems (1/Day). Patrina summons shards of amber from X40, Sealed Treasury, and shapes them into two amber constructs. An amber construct acts on Patrina’s initiative, but takes its turn immediately after hers.

Conjure Sarcophagi. Hollow amber sarcophagi spring into existence around each creature of Patrina’s choice within 5 feet of Patrina or a point she can see within 30 feet. Each creature must succeed on a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw or be entrapped within its sarcophagus. Each sarcophagus has AC 15, 15 hit points, and immunity to poison and psychic damage.

Reactions

Patrina can take up to three reactions per round, but only one per turn. If an effect or condition would prevent her from taking reactions, she loses one reaction instead.

Indomitable. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: Patrina can repeat the saving throw against one effect or condition currently affecting her. (This reaction has no effect if the effect or condition didn’t originally require it to fail a saving throw.)

Counterspell (1/round). Trigger: Patrina sees a creature within 60 feet of her cast a spell. Effect: Patrina casts counterspell at 3rd level. A creature whose spell would be countered in this way can use its reaction to spend a spell slot of 1st level or higher and add the spell slot’s level to the level of the spell it cast. If the result is 4 or more, the creature can make a DC 19 saving throw using its spellcasting ability, gaining a bonus to its saving throw equal to the result. On a success, Patrina’s counterspell fails and has no effect.

Ghostly Walk. Trigger: A creature Patrina can see within 60 feet of her ends its turn. Effect: Patrina moves up to her speed toward or away from that creature without provoking opportunity attacks.

Amber Tentacle (2/round). Trigger: Patrina takes damage from a creature she can see within 30 feet. Effect: Patrina makes an amber tentacle attack against that creature.

Soul Weapon. If Patrina isn’t holding the Sunsword at the start of her turn, it magically appears in her empty hand as her Shadowblade, a blade of pure darkness springing from the hilt.

Actions

Multiattack. Patrina makes four attacks with her shadowblade. She can replace up to one of those attacks with her life drain.

Shadowblade. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) necrotic damage.

Life Drain. Melee Spell Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) necrotic damage. If the target is a creature, its hit point maximum decreases by an amount equal to the damage taken, and Patrina regains hit points equal to the damage dealt.

Bonus Actions

Crackling Doom. Crackling bolts of lightning arc from Patrina's fingertips in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw, taking 14 (4d6) lightning damage on a failure or half as much on a success. If a creature fails its save by 5 or more, it is slowed until the start of Patrina’s next turn. (A slowed creature must spend 1 extra foot of movement for every foot it moves using its speed, attack rolls against it have advantage, and it has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws.)

Negative Energy Burst. Negative energy ripples out in a 5-foot-radius sphere from Patrina or a point she can see within 90 feet. Each creature in that area must make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw, taking 14 (4d6) necrotic damage on a failure or half as much on a success. If a creature fails its save by 5 or more, it also falls prone.

Reactions

Patrina can take up to three reactions per round, but only one per turn. If an effect or condition would prevent her from taking reactions, she loses one reaction instead.

Indomitable. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: Patrina can repeat the saving throw against one effect or condition currently affecting her. (This reaction has no effect if the effect or condition didn’t originally require it to fail a saving throw.)

Parry (1/Round). Trigger: Patrina is hit by a melee or ranged attack while holding the Sunsword. Effect: Patrina adds +6 to her Armor Class against that attack, possibly causing it to miss.

Vile Teleport (1/Round). Trigger: A creature Patrina can see within 30 feet ends its turn. Effect: Patrina teleports up to 30 feet toward or away from that creature. She can cause each creature within 5 feet of her destination space to take 10 (3d6) necrotic damage.

Fell Rebuke. Trigger: Patrina is hit by an attack. Effect: Patrina utters a fell word, dealing 10 (3d6) necrotic damage to the attacker. She then teleports up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space she can see, along with any equipment she is wearing or carrying.

Blessing of Mother Night. Baba Lysaga is shielded against divination magic, as though protected by a nondetection spell.

Skilled Casting. Baba Lysaga can concentrate on up to three spells at a time. If she would lose concentration on one, she loses concentration on all of them.

Flying Skull. While riding her flying giant’s skull, Baba Lysaga gains a fly speed of 30 ft. and has half cover. The skull shares Baba Lysaga’s Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores and saving throws, and is otherwise as described in U3. Baba Lysaga’s Hut (p. 163).

Swallowed by the Swamp. When Baba Lysaga is reduced to 0 hit points, she plunges or sinks into the swamp of Berez. She then resurfaces, riding atop a tower of swamp vines coiled around her lower body. Her statistics are instantly replaced by those of her second form. Her initiative count doesn’t change, excess damage doesn’t carry over, and she retains none of the conditions she had in her previous form.

Actions

Multiattack. Baba Lysaga uses Hair Blade twice, or uses Spellcasting to cast acid splash twice.

Hair Blades. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 9 (1d8 + 5) slashing plus 4 (1d8) poison damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute or until it receives magical healing. A creature poisoned in this way must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. Each time it fails, it becomes slowed if it is currently poisoned, or becomes paralyzed if it is currently slowed. Each time it succeeds, it becomes slowed if it is currently paralyzed, becomes poisoned if it is currently slowed, or is no longer poisoned if it is currently poisoned. If the creature rolls a natural 20, it’s no longer poisoned.

Spellcasting. Baba Lysaga casts one of the following spells, using Intelligence as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 17, +9 to hit with spell attacks):
At will: acid splash (3d6 damage), mage hand, detect magic, magic missile (level 2 version), sleep (level 2 version), lightning bolt
3/day each: Evard’s black tentacles, polymorph
1/day each: scrying, programmed illusion, mirage arcane

Devouring Flies. Swarming flies fill a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on a point Baba Lysaga can see within 60 feet. Each creature within the sphere must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 11 (2d10) piercing damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. Whether a creature succeeds or fails its Constitution saving throw, any spells of 3rd level or lower on that creature end. If a creature is concentrating on a spell that would be dispelled in this way, it can use its reaction to spend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. If it does, the spell doesn’t end.

Bonus Actions

Swarm. Baba Lysaga magically polymorphs into a swarm of insects (flies), flies up to 30 ft., then resumes her true form. Anything she is wearing or carrying transforms with her. While transformed, melee weapon attacks against her have disadvantage.

Reactions

Baba Lysaga can take up to five reactions per round, but only one per turn. If an effect or condition would prevent her from taking reactions, she loses one reaction instead.

Indomitable. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: Baba Lysaga can repeat the saving throw against one effect or condition currently affecting her. (This reaction has no effect if the effect or condition didn’t originally require her to fail a saving throw.)

Parry. Trigger: Baba Lysaga is hit by a melee attack roll. Effect: Baba Lysaga’s bladed hair braids attempt to block the attack, forcing the attacker to reroll the attack. (The attacker must use the new attack roll.) If the new attack roll is a critical miss, Baba Lysaga can immediately use her Hair Blades against the attacker. This reaction has no effect if the first attack was a critical hit.

Swarm. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn or Baba Lysaga takes damage from falling. Effect: Baba Lysaga uses her Swarm. If she would take damage from her fall, she takes no damage instead.

Hair Blades. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn after attacking Baba Lysaga with a melee attack. Effect: Baba Lysaga uses her Hair Blades against that creature.

Insect Shield (1/round). Trigger: Baba Lysaga takes damage from a spell shaped in a cone or line, or from a ranged spell attack roll. Effect: Baba Lysaga forces the spell’s caster to make a DC 17 saving throw using their spellcasting ability. On a failure, Baba Lysaga takes no damage from that spell this turn.

Lightning Bolt (1/round). Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: Baba Lysaga uses her Spellcasting to cast lightning bolt.

Parry. Trigger: Baba Lysaga is hit by an attack roll. Effect: Baba Lysaga casts and attempts to parry the attack with grasping vine, forcing the attacker to reroll the attack. (She can’t attack with the vine this turn, and the attacker must use the new attack roll.) If the new attack roll is a critical miss, Baba Lysaga can immediately use the grasping vine to attack the attacker. This reaction has no effect if the first attack was a critical hit.

Swampwalk (1/round). Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: Baba Lysaga uses her Swampwalk.

Grasping Vine. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: Baba Lysaga uses her Grasping Vine against that creature.

Close Quarters Fighter. The hut doesn't have disadvantage on its ranged attack rolls when within 5 feet of a hostile creature.

Immutable Form. The hut is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.

Siege Monster. The hut deals double damage to objects and structures.

Stolen Gem. The hut is animated by a magic gem shaped like a viridian pinecone embedded in the stump beneath its floorboards, held in place by a black root (AC 15, 10 hit points, vulnerability to fire damage, and immunity to poison and psychic damage). A player who removes the hut’s floorboards as described in U3. Baba Lysaga’s Hut (p. 163) exposes the gem, and can remove the gem by destroying the root or succeeding on a DC 15 Strength check. The hut dies if the gem is removed.

Actions

Root. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 24 (3d10 + 8) bludgeoning damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 20 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone or pushed up to 10 feet away. If the save fails by 10 or more, the hut can grapple the target instead of pushing it or knocking it prone (escape DC 20).

Throw. A creature grappled by the hut must succeed on a DC 20 Strength saving throw or be thrown 60 feet away. A creature thrown in this way falls twenty feet and lands prone.

Rock. Ranged Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (3d8 + 8) bludgeoning damage.

Reactions

The hut can take up to three reactions per round, but only one per turn. If an effect or condition would prevent it from taking reactions, it loses one reaction instead.

Indomitable. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn. Effect: The hut can repeat the saving throw against one effect or condition currently affecting it. (This reaction has no effect if the effect or condition didn’t originally require it to fail a saving throw.)

Root. Trigger: A hostile creature ends its turn within 20 feet of the hut. Effect: The hut attacks that creature with its Root.

Bite. Trigger: A creature attempts to retrieve the gem from the hut’s stump. Effect: The hut attempts to bite the creature’s arm or body with its floorboards, forcing that creature to succeed on a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw or take 9 (2d8) piercing damage and be grappled (escape DC 20). While grappled in this way, a creature has disadvantage on checks made to retrieve the gem.
