Death Burst. When the mephit dies, it explodes in a burst of dust. Each creature within 5 feet of it must then succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute. A blinded creature can repeat the saving throw on each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Innate Spellcasting (1/Day). The mephit can innately cast sleep, requiring no material components. Its innate spellcasting ability is Charisma.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) slashing damage.
Blinding Breath (Recharge 6). The mephit exhales a 15- foot cone of blinding dust. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Posted Nov 27, 2020I'm thinking of having my party find a small group of these in an abandoned Mithril mine, playing with the skulls of the long dead miners. Any thoughts?

Posted Mar 7, 2021It went really well if you're wondering, the party almost forgot they were hired to kill them :)

Posted Nov 3, 2021In one of my campaigns I have one of these and 5 pseudodragons attack my party: blinding, poisoning, and a possibility of unconsciousness.

Posted Apr 5, 2022Dust Mephit induced blindness + multiple DarkMantles, seems just about enough challenge for an early encounter?

Posted Apr 17, 2022So, I've been working on a way to make it okay for a vampire to walk around during the day. Does anybody think a mephit spreading itself over the same area the vampire is standing in would effectively shield it from the sun? And for the record, I am only counting direct sunlight. None of this sunlight bouncing off the ground garbage. Because if that counts, then moonlight would burn them too

Posted May 8, 2022risky. Banishment or just plain killing the mephit would leave the vampire exposed to the sun. Vampires in my world are too smart to let that happen

Posted Jan 5, 2023That depends on how many Darkmantles. I would use one or two Darkmantles that work in coordination with the Dust Mephits. That way, the players would be panicking out of their minds as they don't know how many Darkmantles there are, and they take a risk by moving even 5ft. A pretty interesting and potentially lethal combination.

Posted Apr 14, 2024Dust mephits remind me of the Sandman because they look like they're made of sand, and can cast sleep.
