Iron Maw Gladiator

+3

The gladiator has advantage on initiative rolls. Additionally, if the gladiator is surprised at the beginning of combat and isn't incapacitated, it can act normally on its first turn, but only if it enters its rage before doing anything else on that turn.

The gladiator has advantage on any Charisma (Intimidation) or Charisma (Persuasion) check it makes when interacting with fiends.

The gladiator can cast the contact other plane spell, but only as a ritual.

1/DAY

As a bonus action the gladiator can enter a rage that lasts for 1 minute. The rage ends early if the gladiator is knocked unconscious or if its turn ends and it hasn't attacked a hostile creature or taken damage since its last turn. While raging, the gladiator gains the following benefits:

• It has advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.

• It gains a +3 bonus to the damage roll of any melee weapon attacks it makes (included in the attack).

• It has resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

• If it succeeds on a grapple check, the target takes 3 (1d6) fire damage, and it takes another 3 (1d6) fire damage at the end of each of its turns until the grapple ends.

4/DAY

At the start of its turn, the gladiator can gain advantage on all melee weapon attack rolls during that turn, but attack rolls against it have advantage until the start of its next turn.

While the gladiator isn't wearing any armor, its AC includes its Constitution modifier. It can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

The gladiator makes two melee attacks. While the barbarian is raging, it can make one additional attack with its claw.

Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6+4) slashing damage, or 14 (2d6+7) slashing damage while raging.

Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6+3) bludgeoning or slashing damage (gladiator's choice) plus 3 (1d6) fire damage.
