Emerald Order Cult Leader

The Emerald Order cult leader can always act in a surprise round, but if he fails to notice a foe, he is still considered surprised until he takes an action. He receives a +3 bonus on initiative checks.

The Emerald Order cult leader's innate spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 16). He can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

• 2/day each: detect thoughts, dimension door, haste, slow
• 1/day each: suggestion, teleport

The Emerald Order cult leader is a 10th-level spellcaster. His spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 16, +8 to hit with spell attacks). The cult leader has the following cleric spells prepared:

• Cantrips (at will): guidance, light, sacred flame, spare the dying, thaumaturgy
• 1st level (4 slots): cure wounds, identify, guiding bolt
• 2nd level (3 slots): lesser restoration, silence, spiritual weapon
• 3rd level (3 slots): dispel magic, mass healing word, spirit guardians
• 4th level (3 slots): banishment, death ward, guardian of faith
• 5th level (2 slots): flame strike

The Emerald Order cult leader makes one melee attack and casts a cantrip.

Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft, one target. Hit: 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage.

As a reaction when struck by a melee attack, the emerald order cult leader can expend a spell slot to do 10 (3d6) necrotic damage to the attacker. If the emerald order cult leader expends a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each level above 1st.
