Special Traits

• Elemental Demise. If the Great Sultan dies, his body disintegrates in a flash of fire and puff of smoke, leaving behind only equipment he is wearing or carrying.
• Innate Spellcasting. The Great Sultan’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 21, +13 to hit with spell attacks). The great sultan can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
• At will: detect magic
• 3/day each: enlarge/reduce, tongues
• 1/day each: conjure elemental (fire elemental only), gaseous form, invisibility, major image, plane shift, wall of fire
• Legendary Resistance (3/day). If the Great Sultan fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

  Living Flame. A creature that touches the Great Sultan or hits him with a melee attack while within 5 feet of him takes 11 (2d10) fire damage. The creature must succeed on a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw or catch fire; until someone takes an action to douse the fire, the creature takes 5 (1d10) fire damage at the start of each of its turns.

  Lord of Fire. The Great Sultan’s weapon attacks are magical. When the Great Sultan hits a creature with an attack or spell that deals fire damage, the target’s fire resistance is ignored by the Great Sultan’s fire damage. If the target has immunity to fire damage, it instead has resistance to the Great Sultan’s fire damage.

• Magic Resistance. The Great Sultan has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
• Spellcasting. The Great Sultan is a 20th-level spellcaster. His spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 23, +15 to hit with spell attacks). The Great Sultan has the following wizard spells prepared:
• Cantrips (at will): fire bolt, friends, mage hand, prestidigitation, true strike
• 1st level (4 slots): burning hands, charm person, protection from evil and good, shield, thunderwave
• 2nd level (3 slots): arcane lock, hold person, suggestion, web
• 3rd level (3 slots): counterspell, dispel magic, fireball
• 4th level (3 slots): banishment, confusion, wall of fire
• 5th level (3 slots): dominate person, geas, hold monster
• 6th level (2 slots): chain lightning, mass suggestions
• 7th level (2 slots): delayed blast fireball, forcecage
• 8th level (1 slot): dominate monster, incendiary cloud
• 9th level (1 slot): imprisonment, prismatic wall Wish Granting. At his discretion, Sulymon may grant the wish of another creature (as the wish spell). This is an innate power and does not use any spell slots. The great sultan may only grant three wishes per creature.

Actions

• Multiattack. The Great Sultan makes four Brazen Scimitar attacks. The great sultan can use his Hurl Flame in place of any Brazen Scimitar attack.
• Brazen Scimitar. Melee Weapon Attack: +21 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (3d6 + 12) slashing damage plus 14 (4d6) fire damage.
• Hurl Flame. Ranged Spell Attack: +13 to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 35 (10d6) fire damage.
• Fire Tornado (recharge 6). The Great Sultan transforms into a roaring, fiery tornado and moves up to his speed in a straight line. Each creature in the path where the Great Sultan moves must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 98 (28d6) fire damage and is carried with the Great Sultan to the end of his path. On a success, a creature takes half the damage and isn’t carried. When the Great Sultan reaches the end of his path, each creature he carries must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature is thrown up to 10 feet away from the Great Sultan and knocked prone. On a success, a creature is deposited in a space within 5 feet of the Great Sultan, but isn’t knocked prone. When the Great Sultan reaches the end of his path, he returns back to his true form.
