Unholy Power. Whenever the avatar deals damage to a creature, it also deals an additional number of d8s of necrotic damage equal to one less than the proficiency bonus of the creature that summoned it.

Unholy Resilience. The avatar is immune to any Channel Divinity option that would kill it without dealing damage.
