SPECIAL TRAITS

• Blighted Aura. When a creature within 30 feet of the blightwalker makes an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, the creature rolls 1d4 and subtracts the number rolled from the attack roll, ability check, or saving throw. A creature can be affected by only one Blighted Aura at a time, and the effect doesn’t stack with bane.
• Blighted Contact. A creature that takes necrotic damage from the blightwalker must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be afflicted with a rotting disease for 1 minute. At the start of each of its turns, the target takes 9 (2d8) necrotic damage. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
• Divine Health. The blightwalker is immune to disease.
• Spellcasting. The blightwalker is a 14th level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 15, +7 to hit with spell attacks). It has the following paladin spells prepared:
  • 1st level (4 slots): detect poison and disease, ray of enfeeblement
  • 2nd level (3 slots): blindness/deafness, hold person
  • 3rd level (3 slots): bestow curse, stinking cloud
  • 4th level (1 slot): blight
