# <!--Name-->Types de mouvement spéciaux<!--/Name-->

Dans des souterrains où le danger rôde à chaque pas, en pleine montagne ou en territoire ennemi, la plupart du temps, les aventuriers ne se contentent pas de marcher tranquillement. Ils doivent escalader, ramper, nager ou sauter pour atteindre leur destination.

# <!--Name-->Terrain difficile<!--/Name-->

La distance parcourue donnée dans le tableau des rythmes de déplacement a été calculée en partant du principe que les personnages se déplaçaient sur des terrains relativement normaux et plats : routes, plaines, couloirs de donjon dégagés. Mais les aventuriers se retrouvent souvent confrontés à des forêts denses, des marécages, des ruines encombrés de gravats, des montagnes escarpées et des plaines gelées. Ces terrains sont tous considérés comme difficiles.

Sur un terrain difficile, vous vous déplacez à la moitié de votre vitesse (parcourir un mètre vous coûte deux mètres de vitesse), donc vous ne pouvez parcourir que la moitié de la distance normale en une minute, une heure ou un jour.

## <!--Name-->Montures et véhicules<!--/Name-->

De nombreux animaux sont capables de se déplacer bien plus rapidement que les humanoïdes sur de courtes périodes de temps (jusqu’à une heure). Un personnage sur une monture peut galoper pendant environ une heure, pendant laquelle il couvre le double de la distance normale d’une marche rapide. S’il échange sa monture contre une monture « fraîche » tous les 12 à 15 km, un personnage peut couvrir de grandes distances à cette vitesse, mais c'est un cas de figure très rare, sauf dans les régions densément peuplées et à condition d’en avoir les moyens.

Les personnages qui voyagent en chariot, en calèche ou grâce à un autre véhicule terrestre se déplacent à un rythme normal. Les personnages qui se trouvent sur une embarcation maritime sont limités par la vitesse de leur embarcation. Ils ne subissent aucun malus pour un rythme rapide ou ne reçoivent aucun des bénéfices offerts par le rythme lent. En fonction de leur embarcation et de la taille de l’équipage, certains navires peuvent voyager 24 heures sur 24.

Certaines montures spéciales, comme un pégase ou un griffon, ou un véhicule spécial comme un tapis volant, vous permettent de voyager plus vite.

## <!--Name-->Marche forcée<!--/Name-->

Les chiffres indiqués dans le tableau partent du principe que les personnages marchent 8 heures par jour. Ils peuvent dépasser cette durée, mais risquent alors l’épuisement.

Pour chaque heure supplémentaire passée à voyager au-delà des 8 heures de base, les personnages couvrent la distance parcourue dans la colonne « heure » du tableau correspondant à leur rythme de déplacement, mais chacun d'entre eux doit faire un jet de sauvegarde de Constitution à la fin de l'heure. Le DD de ce jet est de 10 + 1 pour chaque heure passée à marcher au-delà des 8 heures. Si un personnage rate un jet de sauvegarde, il gagne un niveau d'épuisement (voir chapitre 10, Gérer la santé).

# <!--Name-->Rythme de déplacement<!--/Name-->

Un groupe de PJ a le choix entre plusieurs rythmes de déplacement quand il voyage : normal, rapide ou lent, comme vous pouvez le voir dans le tableau rythmes de déplacement. Ce tableau indique quelle distance le groupe parcourt en un temps donné et si ce rythme implique un effet. Une marche rapide implique que les personnages sont moins attentifs à ce qui les entoure, tandis qu’une marche lente leur permet de se déplacer plus furtivement et d’étudier un endroit avec plus d’attention.

# <!--Name-->Vitesse<!--/Name-->

Chaque personnage ou monstre est caractérisé par une vitesse qui correspond à la distance que ce personnage ou monstre peut parcourir en 1 round. Ce nombre correspond à un mouvement rapide et volontaire au coeur d’une situation dangereuse.

Les règles suivantes permettent de déterminer la distance que peut parcourir un personnage ou un monstre en une minute, une heure ou une journée.

# Aboleth

- CEO: [Aboleth](monsters_hd.md#aboleth)
- Source: (SRD p261)
-  Large aberration, lawful evil
- **Armor Class** 17 (natural armor)
- **Hit Points** 135 (18d10 + 36)
- **Speed** 10 ft., swim 40 ft.

|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|21 (+5)| 9 (-1)|15 (+2)|18 (+4)|15 (+2)|18 (+4)|

- **Saving Throws** Con +6, Int +8, Wis +6

- **Senses** darkvision 120 ft., passive Perception 20
- **Languages** Deep Speech, telepathy 120 ft.
- **Challenge** 10 (5900 XP)

## Special Features

**_Amphibious_**. The aboleth can breathe air and water.

**_Mucous Cloud_**. While underwater, the aboleth is surrounded by transformative mucus. A creature that touches the aboleth or that hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature is diseased for 1d4 hours. The diseased creature can breathe only underwater.

**_Probing Telepathy_**. If a creature communicates telepathically with the aboleth, the aboleth learns the creature's greatest desires if the aboleth can see the creature.

## Actions

**_Multiattack_**. The aboleth makes three tentacle attacks.

**_Tentacle_**. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target.

_Hit_: 12 (2d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or become diseased. The disease has no effect for 1 minute and can be removed by any magic that cures disease. After 1 minute, the diseased creature's skin becomes translucent and slimy, the creature can't regain hit points unless it is underwater, and the disease can be removed only by _[heal](spells_vo.md#heal)_ or another disease-curing spell of 6th level or higher. When the creature is outside a body of water, it takes 6 (1d12) acid damage every 10 minutes unless moisture is applied to the skin before 10 minutes have passed.

**_Tail_**. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft. one target.

_Hit_: 15 (3d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage.

**_Enslave (3/Day)_**. The aboleth targets one creature it can see within 30 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be magically charmed by the aboleth until the aboleth dies or until it is on a different plane of existence from the target. The charmed target is under the aboleth's control and can't take reactions, and the aboleth and the target can communicate telepathically with each other over any distance. Whenever the charmed target takes damage, the target can repeat the saving throw. On a success, the effect ends. No more than once every 24 hours, the target can also repeat the saving throw when it is at least 1 mile away from the aboleth.

## Legendary Actions

The aboleth 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 aboleth regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

**_Detect_**. The aboleth makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.

**_Tail Swipe_**. The aboleth makes one tail attack.

**_Psychic Drain (Costs 2 Actions)_**. One creature charmed by the aboleth takes 10 (3d6) psychic damage, and the aboleth regains hit points equal to the damage the creature takes.

Each creature that starts its turn within 20 feet of the mouther and can hear the gibbering must succeed on a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature can't take reactions until the start of its next turn and rolls a d8 to determine what it does during its turn. On a 1 to 4, the creature does nothing. On a 5 or 6, the creature takes no action or bonus action and uses all its movement to move in a randomly determined direction.

**_Petrifying Gaze_**. If a creature starts its turn within 30 feet of the basilisk and the two of them can see each other, the basilisk can force the creature to make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw if the basilisk isn't incapacitated.

On a failure, the creature is petrified until freed by the _[greater restoration](spells_vo.md#greater-restoration)_ spell or other magic. A creature that isn't surprised can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If it does so, it can't see the basilisk until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again. If it looks at the basilisk in the meantime, it must immediately make the save.

In a new form, the couatl retains its game statistics and ability to speak, but its AC, movement modes, Strength, Dexterity, and other actions are replaced by those of the new form, and it gains any statistics and capabilities (except class features, legendary actions, and lair actions) that the new form has but that it lacks. If the new form has a bite attack, the couatl can use its bite in that form.

## Special Features

**_Ooze Cube_**. The cube takes up its entire space. Other creatures can enter the space, but a creature that does so is subjected to the cube's Engulf and has disadvantage on the saving throw. Creatures inside the cube can be seen but have total cover. A creature within 5 feet of the cube can take an action to pull a creature or object out of the cube. Doing so requires a successful DC 12 Strength check, and the creature making the attempt takes 10 (3d6) acid damage. The cube can hold only one Large creature or up to four Medium or smaller creatures inside it at a time.

**_Transparent_**. Even when the cube is in plain sight, it takes a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check to spot a cube that has neither moved nor attacked. A creature that tries to enter the cube's space while unaware of the cube is surprised by the cube.

A creature that chooses not to be pushed suffers the consequences of a failed saving throw. On a failed save, the cube enters the creature's space, and the creature takes 10 (3d6) acid damage and is engulfed. The engulfed creature can't breathe, is restrained, and takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start of each of the cube's turns. When the cube moves, the engulfed creature moves with it. An engulfed creature can try to escape by taking an action to make a DC 12 Strength check. On a success, the creature escapes and enters a space of its choice within 5 feet of the cube.

The wall is 1 foot thick and up to 30 feet long and 10 feet high, or it's a hemispherical dome up to 20 feet in diameter. When the wall appears, each creature in its space is pushed out of it by the shortest route. The creature chooses which side of the wall to end up on, unless the creature is incapacitated. The creature then makes a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 35 (10d6) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The wall lasts for 1 minute or until the devil is incapacitated or dies. The wall can be damaged and breached; each 10-foot section has AC 5, 30 hit points, vulnerability to fire damage, and immunity to acid, cold, necrotic, poison, and psychic damage. If a section is destroyed, it leaves behind a sheet of frigid air in the space the wall occupied. Whenever a creature finishes moving through the frigid air on a turn, willingly or otherwise, the creature must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 17 (5d6) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The frigid air dissipates when the rest of the wall vanishes.

**_Horrifying Visage_**. Each non-undead creature within 60 feet of the ghost that can see it must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. If the save fails by 5 or more, the target also ages 1d4 x 10 years. A frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the frightened condition on itself on a success. If a target's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to this ghost's Horrifying Visage for the next 24 hours.

**_Possession (Recharge 6)_**. One humanoid that the ghost can see within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 13 Charisma saving throw or be possessed by the ghost; the ghost then disappears, and the target is incapacitated and loses control of its body.

The ghost can't be targeted by any attack, spell, or other effect, except ones that turn undead, and it retains its alignment, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma, and immunity to being charmed and frightened. It otherwise uses the possessed target's statistics, but doesn't gain access to the target's knowledge, class features, or proficiencies. The possession lasts until the body drops to 0 hit points, the ghost ends it as a bonus action, or the ghost is turned or forced out by an effect like the _[dispel evil and good](spells_vo.md#dispel-evil-and-good)_ spell. When the possession ends, the ghost reappears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the body. The target is immune to this ghost's Possession for 24 hours after succeeding on the saving throw or after the possession ends.

## Special Features

**_Acid Absorption_**. Whenever the golem is subjected to acid damage, it takes no damage and instead regains a number of hit points equal to the acid damage dealt.

**_Berserk_**. Whenever the golem starts its turn with 60 hit points or fewer, roll a d6. On a 6, the golem goes berserk. On each of its turns while berserk, the golem attacks the nearest creature it can see. If no creature is near enough to move to and attack, the golem attacks an object, with preference for an object smaller than itself. Once the golem goes berserk, it continues to do so until it is destroyed or regains all its hit points.

**_Immutable Form_**. The golem is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.

**_Magic Resistance_**. The golem has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

**_Magic Weapons_**. The golem's weapon attacks are magical.

**_Slam_**. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

_Hit_: 16 (2d10 + 5) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or have its hit point maximum reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. The target dies if this attack reduces its hit point maximum to 0. The reduction lasts until removed by the _[greater restoration](spells_vo.md#greater-restoration)_ spell or other magic.

**_Haste (Recharge 5-6)_**. Until the end of its next turn, the golem magically gains a +2 bonus to its AC, has advantage on Dexterity saving throws, and can use its slam attack as a bonus action.

- **Languages** Aquan, Common, Giant
- **Challenge** 2 (450 XP)

## Special Features

**_Amphibious_**. The hag can breathe air and water.

**_Horrific Appearance_**. Any humanoid that starts its turn within 30 feet of the hag and can see the hag's true form must make a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if the hag is within line of sight, 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 hag's Horrific Appearance for the next 24 hours. Unless the target is surprised or the revelation of the hag's true form is sudden, the target can avert its eyes and avoid making the initial saving throw. Until the start of its next turn, a creature that averts its eyes has disadvantage on attack rolls against the hag.

## Actions

**_Claws_**. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

_Hit_: 10 (2d6 + 3) slashing damage.

The effect ends if the hag takes a bonus action to end it or if she dies. The changes wrought by this effect fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, the hag could appear to have no claws, but someone touching her hand might feel the claws. Otherwise, a creature must take an action to visually inspect the illusion and succeed on a DC 16 Intelligence (Investigation) check to discern that the hag is disguised.

## Special Features

**_Innate Spellcasting_**. The hag's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14, +6 to hit with spell attacks). She can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

At will: _[detect magic](spells_vo.md#detect-magic)_, _[magic missile](spells_vo.md#magic-missile)_

2/day each: _[plane shift](spells_vo.md#plane-shift)_ (self only), _[ray of enfeeblement](spells_vo.md#ray-of-enfeeblement)_, _[sleep](spells_vo.md#sleep)_

**_Magic Resistance_**. The hag has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

## Actions

**_Claws (Hag Form Only)_**. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

_Hit_: 13 (2d8 + 4) slashing damage.

**_Change Shape_**. The hag magically polymorphs into a Small or Medium female humanoid, or back into her true form. Her statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment she is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. She reverts to her true form if she dies.

**_Etherealness_**. The hag magically enters the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or vice versa. To do so, the hag must have a heartstone in her possession.

**_Nightmare Haunting (1/Day)_**. While on the Ethereal Plane, the hag magically touches a sleeping humanoid on the Material Plane. A _[protection from evil and good](spells_vo.md#protection-from-evil-and-good)_ spell cast on the target prevents this contact, as does a magic circle. As long as the contact persists, the target has dreadful visions. If these visions last for at least 1 hour, the target gains no benefit from its rest, and its hit point maximum is reduced by 5 (1d10). If this effect reduces the target's hit point maximum to 0, the target dies, and if the target was evil, its soul is trapped in the hag's soul bag. The reduction to the target's hit point maximum lasts until removed by the _[greater restoration](spells_vo.md#greater-restoration)_ spell or similar magic.

_Hit_: 13 (2d8 + 4) slashing damage.

**_Illusory Appearance_**. The hag covers herself and anything she is wearing or carrying with a magical illusion that makes her look like another creature of her general size and humanoid shape. The illusion ends if the hag takes a bonus action to end it or if she dies. The changes wrought by this effect fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, the hag could appear to have smooth skin, but someone touching her would feel her rough flesh. Otherwise, a creature must take an action to visually inspect the illusion and succeed on a DC 20 [Intelligence (Investigation)] check to discern that the hag is disguised.

**_Invisible Passage_**. The hag magically turns invisible until she attacks or casts a spell, or until her concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell). While invisible, she leaves no physical evidence of her passage, so she can be tracked only by magic. Any equipment she wears or carries is invisible with her.

A creature can also repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If a creature's saving throw is successful, the effect ends on it. A target that successfully saves is immune to this harpy's song for the next 24 hours.

While swallowed, the creature is [blinded](conditions_vo.md#blinded) and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the kraken, and it takes 42 (12d6) acid damage at the start of each of the kraken's turns. If the kraken takes 50 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the kraken must succeed on a DC 25 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the kraken. If the kraken dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 15 feet of movement, exiting prone.

If a thrown target strikes a solid surface, the target takes 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it was thrown. If the target is thrown at another creature, that creature must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage and be knocked prone.

**_Lightning Storm_**. The kraken magically creates three bolts of lightning, each of which can strike a target the kraken can see within 120 feet of it.

Each creature other than the kraken that ends its turn there must succeed on a DC 23 Constitution saving throw, taking 16 (3d10) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

## Special Features

**_False Appearance_**. While the darkmantle remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a cave formation such as a stalactite or stalagmite.

## Actions

**_Crush_**. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.

_Hit_: 6 (1d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage, and the darkmantle attaches to the target. If the target is Medium or smaller and the darkmantle has advantage on the attack roll, it attaches by engulfing the target's head, and the target is also [blinded](conditions_vo.md#blinded) and unable to breathe while the darkmantle is attached in this way. While attached to the target, the darkmantle can attack no other creature except the target but has advantage on its attack rolls. The darkmantle's speed also becomes 0, it can't benefit from any bonus to its speed, and it moves with the target. A creature can detach the darkmantle by making a successful DC 13 Strength check as an action. On its turn, the darkmantle can detach itself from the target by using 5 feet of movement.

**_Darkness Aura (1/Day)_**. A 15-foot radius of magical darkness extends out from the darkmantle, moves with it, and spreads around corners. The darkness lasts as long as the darkmantle maintains concentration, up to 10 minutes (as if concentrating on a spell). Darkvision can't penetrate this darkness, and no natural light can illuminate it. If any of the darkness overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 2nd level or lower, the spell creating the light is dispelled.

# Cloaker

- CEO: [Manteleur](monsters_hd.md#manteleur)

- **Languages** Deep Speech, Undercommon
- **Challenge** 8 (3900 XP)

## Special Features

**_Damage Transfer_**. While attached to a creature, the cloaker takes only half the damage dealt to it (rounded down), and that creature takes the other half.

**_False Appearance_**. While the cloaker remains motionless without its underside exposed, it is indistinguishable from a dark leather cloak.

**_Light Sensitivity_**. While in bright light, the cloaker has disadvantage on attack rolls and Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

## Actions

**_Multiattack_**. The cloaker makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its tail.

**_Bite_**. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.

_Hit_: 10 (2d6 + 3) piercing damage, and if the target is Large or smaller, the cloaker attaches to it. If the cloaker has advantage against the target, the cloaker attaches to the target's head, and the target is [blinded] and unable to breathe while the cloaker is attached. While attached, the cloaker can make this attack only against the target and has advantage on the attack roll. The cloaker can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement. A creature, including the target, can take its action to detach the cloaker by succeeding on a DC 16 Strength check.

**_Tail_**. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature.

_Hit_: 7 (1d8 + 3) slashing damage.

**_Moan_**. Each creature within 60 feet of the cloaker that can hear its moan and that isn't an aberration must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened until the end of the cloaker's next turn. If a creature's saving throw is successful, the creature is immune to the cloaker's moan for the next 24 hours

**_Phantasms (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest)_**. The cloaker magically creates three illusory duplicates of itself if it isn't in bright light. The duplicates move with it and mimic its actions, shifting position so as to make it impossible to track which cloaker is the real one. If the cloaker is ever in an area of bright light, the duplicates disappear. Whenever any creature targets the cloaker with an attack or a harmful spell while a duplicate remains, that creature rolls randomly to determine whether it targets the cloaker or one of the duplicates. A creature is unaffected by this magical effect if it can't see or if it relies on senses other than sight. A duplicate has the cloaker's AC and uses its saving throws. If an attack hits a duplicate, or if a duplicate fails a saving throw against an effect that deals damage, the duplicate disappears.

_Hit_: 14 (3d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage plus 21 (6d6) necrotic damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with mummy rot. The cursed target can't regain hit points, and its hit point maximum decreases by 10 (3d6) for every 24 hours that elapse.

A target that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to the Dreadful Glare of all mummies and mummy lords for the next 24 hours.

## Legendary Actions

**_Attack_**. The mummy lord makes one attack with its rotting fist or uses its Dreadful Glare.

**_Blinding Dust_**. Blinding dust and sand swirls magically around the mummy lord. Each creature within 5 feet of the mummy lord must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be [blinded](conditions_vo.md#blinded) until the end of the creature's next turn.

## Special Features

**_Petrifying Gaze_**. When a creature that can see the medusa's eyes starts its turn within 30 feet of the medusa, the medusa can force it to make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw if the medusa isn't incapacitated and can see the creature. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the creature is instantly petrified. Otherwise, a creature that fails the save begins to turn to stone and is restrained. The restrained creature must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn, becoming petrified on a failure or ending the effect on a success. The petrification lasts until the creature is freed by the _[greater restoration](spells_vo.md#greater-restoration)_ spell or other magic. Unless surprised, a creature can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If the creature does so, it can't see the medusa until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again. If the creature looks at the medusa in the meantime, it must immediately make the save. If the medusa sees itself reflected on a polished surface within 30 feet of it and in an area of bright light, the medusa is, due to its curse, affected by its own gaze.

## Actions

-  Medium fiend (shapechanger), neutral evil
- **Armor Class** 15 (natural armor)
- **Hit Points** 66 (12d8 + 12)
- **Speed** 30 ft., fly 60 ft.

|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 (-1)|17 (+3)|13 (+1)|15 (+2)|12 (+1)|20 (+5)|

- **Challenge** 4 (1100 XP)
- **Damage Resistances** cold, fire, lightning, poison; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks

## Special Features

**_Telepathic Bond_**. The fiend ignores the range restriction on its telepathy when communicating with a creature it has charmed. The two don't even need to be on the same plane of existence.

**_Shapechanger_**. The fiend can use its action to polymorph into a Small or Medium humanoid, or back into its true form. Without wings, the fiend loses its flying speed. Other than its size and speed, its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.

## Actions

**_Claw (Fiend Form Only)_**. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

_Hit_: 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing damage.

**_Charm_**. One humanoid the fiend can see within 30 feet of it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be magically charmed for 1 day. The charmed target obeys the fiend's verbal or telepathic commands. If the target suffers any harm or receives a suicidal command, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on a success. If the target successfully saves against the effect, or if the effect on it ends, the target is immune to this fiend's Charm for the next 24 hours. The fiend can have only one target charmed at a time. If it charms another, the effect on the previous target ends.

**_Draining Kiss_**. The fiend kisses a creature charmed by it or a willing creature. The target must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw against this magic, taking 32 (5d10 + 5) psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.

**_Etherealness_**. The fiend magically enters the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or vice versa.

An animated tree acts as an ally of the treant.

**_Bite (Bat or Vampire Form Only)_**. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one willing creature, or a creature that is grappled by the vampire, incapacitated, or restrained.

_Hit_: 7 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and the vampire regains hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. A humanoid slain in this way and then buried in the ground rises the following night as a vampire spawn under the vampire's control.

**_Charm_**. The vampire targets one humanoid it can see within 30 feet of it. If the target can see the vampire, the target must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or be charmed by the vampire. The charmed target regards the vampire as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected. Although the target isn't under the vampire's control, it takes the vampire's requests or actions in the most favorable way it can, and it is a willing target for the vampire's bit attack. Each time the vampire or the vampire's companions do anything harmful to the target, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. Otherwise, the effect lasts 24 hours or until the vampire is destroyed, is on a different plane of existence than the target, or takes a bonus action to end the effect.

**_Children ofthe Night (1/Day)_**. The vampire magically calls 2d4 swarms of bats or rats, provided that the sun isn't up. While outdoors, the vampire can call 3d6 wolves instead. The called creatures arrive in 1d4 rounds, acting as allies of the vampire and obeying its spoken commands. The beasts remain for 1 hour, until the vampire dies, or until the vampire dismisses them as a bonus action.

## Legendary Actions

The vampire 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 vampire regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

**_Move_**. The vampire moves up to its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.

**_Unarmed Strike_**. The vampire makes one unarmed strike.

**_Bite (Costs 2 Actions)_**. The vampire makes one bite attack.
