Special Traits

• Finishing Blow. When a Chardun-slain reduces a target to 0 hit points, as a bonus action it may make another melee attack against the fallen enemy. It will not use this ability against creatures guarded by a protection from evil and good spell.

Actions

• Longsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) slashing damage or 8 (1d10 + 3) slashing damage if used with two hands.

Tactics

Although they lack conventional intelligence, Chardun-slain rely on whatever martial experience they had in life. They fight like trained soldiers, be it in close combat or coordinated siege. The default entry assumes scale mail, shield, and longsword, but most Chardun-slain use the armor and weapons they carried to war in life.

Description

A desiccated, shambling corpse, the gleam in its eye and the vise-like grip on its weapon tells you that the only thing this creature remembers is battle — but remembers it well.
