Special Traits

• Divine Weapons. The valkyrie’s weapon attacks are magical. When the valkyrie hits with her spear, the weapon deals an additional 2d8 radiant damage (included in the attack).
• Innate Spellcasting. The valkyrie’s spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save 17). The valkyrie can innately cast the following spells, requiring only verbal components:
  • At Will: aid, deathwatch, gentle repose, tongues
  • 3/Day each: call lightning, death ward, geas, plane shift (self and mount only)
  • 1/Day each: heal, heroes’ feast, planar ally
• Magic Resistance. The valkyrie has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Actions

• Multiattack. The valkyrie makes two melee attacks.
• Spear. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing plus 9 (2d8) radiant damage.
• Thrown Spear. Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing plus 9 (2d8) radiant damage. The spear returns at the end of the valkyrie’s turn.
• Choose the Slain. A valkyrie can draw the soul from a newly dead body and store it within her spear for transport to the soul’s place of final rest. Once the soul resides in the valkyrie’s spear, nothing short of a deity’s direct intervention, including resurrection and wish, can return the deceased to life. The dead creature must be willing to have its soul taken. If the creature proves unwilling, this ability has no effect.

Reactions

• Holy Zeal. The valkyrie can add her Charisma bonus to her armor class.
