Actions

  • Strength Drain. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 32 (9d6 + 1) necrotic damage, and the target’s Strength score is reduced by 1d8. The target dies if this reduces its Strength to 0. Otherwise, the reduction lasts until the target finishes a short or long rest. If a non-evil humanoid dies from this attack, a shadow rises from the corpse 1d4 hours later.
