Lair and Lair Actions
An Archfey’s Grove (lair)
An archfey often has an area it prefers, such as a field, a tree, or a swamp. Alternatively, some archfeys construct large homes from wood, vines and other natural materials.
Everything about a archey's grove reflects its connection to the world and its creatures, including the magic and mundane traps that secure it. Fey, animals, and living plants lurk in damp recesses, emerging to destroy those who dare to disturb the archfey's peace.
A archfey encountered in its grove has a challenge rating of 22 (41,000 XP).
Grove Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the archfey can take a grove action to cause one of the following magical effects; the archfey can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- The archfey rolls a d8 and regains a spell slot of that level or lower. If it has no spent spell slots of that level or lower, nothing happens.
- Whenever the archfey takes damage a vine tethers the archfey to the attacker, the target must make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the archfey takes half the damage (rounded down), and the target takes the remaining damage. This tether lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round or until the archfey or the target is no longer in the archfey's grove.
- The archfey calls forth the plants that live in its grove. These plants appear and attack one creature the archfey can see within 60 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw, taking 52 (15d6) Poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a success. The creatures then leave immediately.

Posted May 22, 2019This feels like a good version of a generic archfey. However, I'm confused by the Rejuvenation trait. Why might an archfey have a phylactery? Also, it would be great if the spells linked to their corresponding spells.
