Large undead, lawful evil Armor Class 17 (natural armor)
Saving Throws Dex +6, Con +8, Wis +7, Cha +5 Innate Spellcasting (3/Day). The vignar can innately cast animate dead (skeletons only), requiring no material components. Its innate spellcasting ability is Wisdom. Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the vignar fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead. Turn Resistance. The vignar has advantage on saving throws against any effect that turns undead. ACTIONSMultiattack. The vignar makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws. Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d10 + 6) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) necrotic damage. Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) slashing damage. Frightful Presence. Each creature of the vignar's choice that is within 120 feet of the vignar and aware of it must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the vignar's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours. Miasmic Breath (Recharge 4-6). The vignar exhales a black, withering mist in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in this area must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 39 (6d12) necrotic damage and gains a level of exhaustion. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and doesn't gain a level of exhaustion. A humanoid that dies due to this effect rises at the start of the vignar's next turn as a skeleton under the vignar's control. The vignar can have no more than twelve skeletons under its control at one time.
LEGENDARY ACTIONSThe vignar 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 vignar regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn. Detect. The vignar makes a Wisdom (Perception) check. |
Translating from draconic as "the ash of his black flame", arixen vutha vignar—shortened to vignar—are undead dragons created by the dragon god of undeath, Falazure. These beasts are often sent to act as servants to favored followers of the dragon god. Though they follow their new masters' orders to the letter, their only true loyalty is to Falazure himself. More than once an upstart dragon worshiper has found themselves betrayed and torn apart by the vignar for overstepping their bounds. Undead Nature. An arixen vutha vignar doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep. |
