|
Medium humanoid (tiefling), lawful evil Armor Class 18
Proficiency Bonus +5 Infernal Legacy. Anz knows the thaumaturgy cantrip. He can cast the hellish rebuke spell as a 2nd-level spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when he finishes a long rest. He can cast the darkness spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when he finishes a long rest. Charisma is his spellcasting ability for these spells. Mark of the Phoenix. When Anz drops below 250 hit points for the first time, he sprouts a pair of flaming phoenix wings from his back. The wings give him a flying speed of 40ft., and any creature that attempts to touch the wings takes 1d10 fire damage. From Ashes. When Anz is killed, his body dissolves into ashes, charcoal, and smoke. He can also will his body to do so if he is incapacitated. After one minute, his remains coalesce and form a fire elemental. After surviving for 10 minutes, he can use an action to regain his true form with 50 hit points. ACTIONSMultiattack. Anz makes two attacks with draketongue or draketongue's lash. He can replace one of those attacks with two infernal claw attacks. Draketongue. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage, plus 11 (2d6 + 4) fire damage if the command word was spoken. Draketongue's Lash. Ranged Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, range 20 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) fire damage. Infernal Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage. Hellish Recess. Anz uses Hellish recess as soon as he is able after dropping below 400 hit points for the first time, and again after dropping below 300 hit points for the first time; he will not use it at any other point. Anz moves a distance of up to double his speed, during which he cannot trigger opportunity attacks, to a safe location away from enemies. Then, the 8 tiles surrounding him ignite into a column of flame. Additionally, 8 tiny fire elementals appear around Anz in the column of flame. Prepare Hellflame Pillar. If Anz did not prepare a hellflame pillar on his previous turn, he has not yet triggered mark of the phoneix, and he is not currently inside the column of flames, he uses his bonus action to prepare a hellflame pillar. A 10ft. by 10ft. area he can see within 60ft. of him is marked with a charred magical circle. Hellflame Pillar. If Anz prepared a hellflame pillar on his previous turn, he uses his bonus action to ignite the magical circle. Any creature standing on the circle takes 2d10 fire damage, and the circle disappears. Prepare Phoenix Swoop. If Anz did not prepare a phoenix swoop or hellflame pillar on his previous turn, he has triggered mark of the phoenix, and he is not currently inside the column of flames, he uses his bonus action to prepare a phoenix swoop. Two 10ft. wide lines—one vertical and one horizontal, both stretching the entire length of the arena— are marked by rising steam and lingering ash. Phoenix Swoop. If Anz prepared a phoenix swoop on his previous turn, he uses his bonus action to assault the marked areas with flames. A magical fire in the form of a phoenix swoops across the marked areas, dealing 2d10 fire damage to any creature it touches. The areas cease to be marked.

The cruel king of a dying kingdom, Anz rules over his people with a flaming fist. He has no qualms hurting or sacrificing his people to amass his own power and wealth, and even conducts criminal activities such as the black market and slave trade within his lands. Anz's life is a perpetual cycle: he rules over a land, he ruins that land, the people of the land rebel against him, and he razes his opposition. Collecting his amassed wealth and leaving his own lands as nothing more than ashes and cinders, he moves on to the next kingdom to plunder. |
