Bhaal, Ravager

When the ravager drops to 0 hit points, its form fractures. Within the next 24 hours, it will reappear in its slayer form within 2d6 miles of where the ravager form fell.

When the ravager damages a creature with a melee attack and the target is left with 20 or fewer remaining hit points, the creature must make a DC 21 Constitution saving throw or be reduced to 0 hit points.

The ravager is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.

If the ravager fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

3/DAY

The ravager has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

The ravager's claw, bite, and spine attacks are magical.

At the start of each of its turns, the ravager deals 16 (3d10) piercing damage to any creature grappling it or being grappled by it.

The ravager uses its Fear aura (if available) and then makes one bite attack and two claw attacks or two spine attacks.

Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (3d8 + 9) slashing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 21 Constitution saving throw or have its hit point maximum reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. The target dies if this attack reduces its hit point maximum to 0. The reduction lasts until removed by the greater restoration spell or other magic.

Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 25 (3d10 + 9) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 21 Constitution saving throw or have its hit point maximum reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. The target dies if this attack reduces its hit point maximum to 0. The reduction lasts until removed by the greater restoration spell or other magic. Large or smaller creatures damaged by this attack are grappled (escape DC 20) and the ravager cannot make another Bite attack until this grapple ends.

Ranged Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, range 60/120 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (3d6 + 7) piercing damage. If the target fails a DC 19 Constitution saving throw, they are stunned until the end of their next turn.

The ravager can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The ravager regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

3/TURN

The ravager makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.

The ravager smashes the ground and creates a thunderwave. Any creature in a 10-foot cube originating from the ravager must make a Constitution saving throw against DC 20. On a failed save, the creature suffers 36 (8d8) thunder and is pushed 5 feet away from the ravager. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and is not pushed. The soundwave produced by this attack can be heard up to 100 feet away.

The ravager flares its numerous spines and they elongate. Any creature that starts their turn within 5 feet of ravager must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw or suffer 44 (8d10) piercing damage. The damage is halved with a successful save.
