Lair and Lair Actions
A Bright Lord's Lair
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Bright Lord can take a lair action to cause one of the following magical effects; the Bright Lord can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- The Bright Lord 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.
- The Bright Lord targets one creature it can see within 30 feet of it. A crackling cord of negative energy tethers the Bright Lord to the target. Whenever the Bright Lord takes damage, the target must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the Bright Lord 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 Bright Lord or the target is no longer in the Bright Lord's lair.
- The Bright Lord calls forth the spirits of creatures that died in its lair. These apparitions materialize and attack one creature that the Bright Lord can see within 60 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw, taking 52 (15d6) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a success. The apparitions then disappear.
