SPECIAL TRAITS

• • Evasion. When the drow warmaster sicarius is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, the drow warmaster sicarius instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.
  • Fey Ancestry. The drow warmaster sicarius has advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put the drow to sleep.
  • Innate Spellcasting. The drow warmaster sicarius’ innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 16). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
    • At will: message
    • 1/day each: darkness, faerie fire
    • Sneak Attack (1/Turn). The drow warmaster sicarius deals an extra 28 (8d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack if it has advantage on the attack roll. It doesn’t need advantage on the attack roll if one of its allies is within 5 feet of the target, that ally isn’t incapacitated, and the drow warmaster sicarius doesn’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.
    • Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, the drow warmaster sicarius has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception, Survival) checks that rely on sight.

ACTIONS

• • • Multiattack. The drow warmaster sicarius makes two rapier attacks or two composite bow attacks.
    • Rapier +3. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (1d8 + 8) piercing damage.
    • Dagger +1. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d4 + 6) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw, taking 42 (12d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
    • Composite Bow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, range 160/500 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d8 + 5) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 hour. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the target falls unconscious for the same duration, or until it takes damage or another creature uses an action to shake it awake.

BONUS ACTIONS

• • • Cunning Action. The drow warmaster sicarius can use a bonus action to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.
    • Main Gauche. If the drow warmaster sicarius has unsheathed a dagger, it can make an additional dagger +1 attack.

REACTIONS

• • • Second Wind (Recharge 4-6). The drow warmaster sicarius rerolls a saving throw it has failed. It must use the new roll.
    • Uncanny Dodge. When an opponent that the drow warmaster sicarius can see hits it with an attack, it can use its reaction to halve the attack’s damage.
