  • Reaper of Veridos

    All tremble beneath the single mad eye of the Reaper of Veridos– a humanoid plant made of writhing black vines. All run if they see it within the depths of the forest, for the Reaper has disobeyed its god.

    Verdant Regeneration. The reaper regains 10 Hit Points at the start of each of

    Multiattack. The reaper makes two Tendril attacks.


    Tendril. Melee Attack Role: +5, reach 15 ft. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) Bludgeoning
    damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, the reaper pulls the target 5 feet straight toward itself.


    Root Eruption. Dexterity Saving Throw: DC 13, each creature on the ground within 10 feet of the reaper. Failure: 15 (6d4) Piercing damage, and the target has the Restrained condition until the end of the reaper’s next turn. Success: Half damage only.

    Reactions

    Protective Tendrils. Trigger: The reaper is hit by a melee attack roll. Response: The reaper adds 2 to its AC against that attack, possibly causing it to miss.
