SPECIAL TRAITS

• Spellcasting. The naga is an 11th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 16, +8 to hit with spell attacks), and it needs only verbal components to cast its spells. It has the following cleric spells prepared:
  • Cantrips (at will): mending, sacred flame, thaumaturgy
  • 1st level (4 slots): command, cure wounds, shield of faith
  • 2nd level (3 slots): calm emotions, hold person
  • 3rd level (3 slots): bestow curse, clairvoyance
  • 4th level (3 slots): banishment, freedom of movement
  • 5th level (2 slots): flame strike, geas
  • 6th level (1 slot): true seeing
• Regeneration. The naga regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn. If the naga takes acid or fire damage, this trait doesn’t function at the start of the naga’s next turn. The naga dies only if it starts its turn with 0 hit points and doesn’t regenerate.
• Rejuvenation. If it dies, the naga returns to life in 1d6 days and regains all its hit points. Only a wish spell can prevent this trait from functioning.
