In a Silent Way

Medium elemental (Stand), any alignment Armor Class 12 (natural armor) Hit Points — Speed 45 ft., climb 45 ft., swim 45 ft. STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 11 (+0) 26 (+8) 13 (+1) 15 (+2) 16 (+3) 17 (+3) Saving Throws Dex +11, Int +5 Skills Acrobatics +11, Animal Handling +6, Athletics +3, History +5, Intimidation +6, Investigation +5, Medicine +6, Nature +5, Perception +6, Sleight of Hand +11, Stealth +11, Survival +6 Senses passive Perception 16 Languages English, Spanish, Quechan Challenge 6 (2,300 XP) Manifestation of Will. Any feature that effects the Stand user also effects the Stand. Any damage the Stand takes is instead dealt to the Stand user. Any effect that targets either the Stand or the Stand user targets both of them. the Stand user can summon or de-summon the Stand as a bonus action. If the Stand user becomes unconscious, the Stand instantly de-summons. the Stand and the Stand user use the same action and bonus action, but moving the Stand uses a free action. the Stand can only move up to 15 ft. of the Stand user, and moves in parallel with the Stand user when they move beyond the 15 ft. radius. Invisible Force. Only Stand users and creatures with any form of spellcasting can see the Stand, otherwise it is invisible. A creature that can not see Stands can attempt a DC 25 Wisdom saving throw after being damaged by a Stand. On a success, it can sense the Stand, and it is no longer invisible to them. The Stand can phase through creatures/objects and everything seen by the Stand is also seen by the user. ACTIONS Unarmed Strike. Melee Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d4 + 8) bludgeoning damage. Sound Storage. Soundman charges an object with sound. If a creature touches a charged object, all creatures within a 10 ft. radius of it must succeed a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 20 (1d10 + 15) damage of Soundman's choosing upon creation on a failure, or half as much damage on a success. Soundman must spend 1 spirit point to make this a damage type beyond slashing, bludgeoning, or piercing; and 2 spirit points to make it force damage. Soundman and In a Silent Way are unharmed by any charged objects they are aware of. Soundman may spend 1 spirit point to adjust the sound upon detonation, making it affect only the creature that activated/possesses it, and dealing full critical damage (25) to them. He may also spend 2 spirit points to increase the range of the sound, giving it up to 20 additional ft. radius. All charged objects lose their sound at the end of his next long rest. Sound Homunculus. Soundman turns a relevant amount of inanimate matter into a pseudomimic with a movement speed of 30 ft. instead of a flying speed. He may control them all simultaneously alongside your Stand (i.e. all creatures move 30 ft. as a free action, all creatures attack as an action, etc.), and may have up to 8 Sound Homunculi at a time. This may be done as a bonus action or reaction for 1 spirit point. REACTIONS Sound Construct. When Soundman is targeted by an attack or must make a saving throw, he may create a three-dimensional representation of a sound opposite to the intended effect, causing the attack to automatically fail or Sounman to automatically succeed the saving throw. He may regain his reaction after doing this for 1 spirit point.
