The minion of Xalthon is a smaller and less powerful replica of Xalthon, holding a slightly magical dagger. Bizarre Tactics. The minion of Xalthon will always follow Xalthon's orders. In combat the minion of Xalthon will target its enemies based on their ability to deal damage; it will ignore the enemy it thinks has the lowest Wisdom, and it will use its Nightmare Vision on the most threatening creature. Once the amount of enemies remaining (not counting grappled creatures) is equal to or less than the number of allies the minion of Xalthon has plus three the minion of Xalthon will attempt to grapple the creature with the second least Wisdom, and once they are grappled it will attempt to stab them. It will never throw its dagger. It will use its reaction for shield against the first possible attack unless it is grappling a creature; it will always use Insanity Hold if possible. |
