Description
The Avatar of Combat was once a mortal who excelled in the art of combat. Upon their death, they were offered a Wish by the god of combat. Their choice was to live on, forever, practicing and honing their art. As a result, the Avatar of Combat was born. Reincarnated into a new form, the Avatar's new body is perfectly designed for combat. With no facial features to give cues to its opponents, skin as tough as boiled leather, and the ability to see through magical deceptions, it quickly gained enough strength and technique to best any being in single combat.
Forever Fighting. The Avatar of Combat cannot be killed, only temporarily disabled. Any effect that would outright kill the Avatar or destroy its body makes it vanish in a flash of light, only for it to reform within a day somewhere in it's demiplane. It will then seek out those who defeated it to grant them a boon, as long as the combat was honorable. Those who seek to defeat the Avatar through trickery and deception, fighting without honor, will find themselves with an unrelenting and undying enemy.
Always Improving. The Avatar of Combat most enjoys testing itself against new foes, or old foes that have learned new abilities or techniques. It finds no joy in crushing the weak, and if called upon by a God to fight those it determines to be too weak, it will not listen to that god's requests again, until provided with a significant challenge as an apology.
Perfect Body. The Avatar of Combat does not need to eat, drink, or sleep.
Lair and Lair Actions
The Avatar's Domicile
The Avatar of Combat lives in an isolated demiplane where it spends its time honing its combat skills. It is rarely encountered in its home, however preferring to venture out on it's own whims to challenge strong opponents, or sent to test combatants at the behest of any one of a myriad of gods that venerate the art of combat. On the off chance the Avatar of Combat is encountered in it's home, it has mastery over it's environment.
The Avatar when encountered in it's lair is effectively a CR 31 (??? xp)
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Avatar can take a lair action to cause one of the following magical effects; the Avatar cannot use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- The Avatar of Combat takes a turn immediately after this lair action is selected, in addition to it's regular turn in the initiative order. This turn does not reset its Legendary Actions.
- Any creature that is positioned higher vertically than the creature they are attacking has advantage on Melee Attack rolls. This effect lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round.
- The weapons strewn about the demiplane raise into the air in a whirling maelstrom. Every creature within 60 feet of the Avatar must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 42 (12d6) slashing, piercing, or bludgeoning damage (the Avatar's choice) on a failed save, or half as much on a success. The weapons then return to their previous positions, inert.
