Special Traits

  • Quiet of the Grave. While in areas of dim light or darkness, the confidant can take the Hide action as a bonus action.
  • Sneak Attack (1/Turn). The confidant deals an extra 28 (8d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack, and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of the confidant that isn’t incapacitated, and the confidant doesn’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.

Actions

  • Multiattack. The confidant can use its Dreadful Glare and makes one attack with its Cursed Knife. If it has two knives drawn, as a bonus action, the confidant can make an additional attack with the second cursed knife.
  • Cursed Knife. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage, plus 14 (4d6) necrotic damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, or be cursed with mummy rot (p.86).
  • Dreadful Glare. The confidant targets one creature it can see within 60 feet of it. If the target can see the confidant, it must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw against this magic, or become frightened until the end of the confidant’s next turn. If the target fails the saving throw by 5 or more, it is also paralyzed for the same duration. A target that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to the Dreadful Glare of all mummies with a challenge rating of 5 or less for the next 24 hours.

Legendary Actions

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

  • Disappear. The confidant moves up to 15 feet and can take the Hide action.
  • Dreadful Glare. The confidant uses its Dreadful Glare.
  • Attack (Costs 2 Actions). The confidant makes one attack with its Cursed Knife.

Criminals who dared to raise a hand to their rightful masters, would-be murderers, are often interred as punishment – having undergone at least the preliminary stages of mummification while still alive – and forced to serve more faithfully after death.
