I tried to create a monster for my Curse of Strahd campaign. One of my players created his warlock as a clone of his patron. Prior to this, Patron had been hunted down and was weak. It decided to create a clone of itself to ensure its survival.The clone knows nothing of its origin and has since adopted an actor + mask of many faces type of gameplay.
I made the patron one of the Amber temple's vestiges which will indirectly influence my player to free it.
I basically created a beholder-inspired creature that puts on different masks for its attacks (mask of death, mask of fear, etc...). To mirror my player's character who is the clone, Its strategy is based on illusions, subterfuge, etc. Kinda like a DnD version of Mysterio.
I have a party of 4-5 people which should be level 10-11 by the time they reach the Amber temple.
- Is my monster too strong? too weak? - any attacks or abilities I should change? remove? add? - tried calculating a CR, but I have no clue what Im doing. Suggestions?
