Lair and Lair Actions

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Caretaker takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Caretaker can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

  • The Caretaker glimpses the future, so it has advantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until initiative count 20 on the next round.
  • One creature the Caretaker can see within 120 feet of it must succeed on a DC 16 Charisma saving throw or be banished to a dream plane, a different plane of existence the Caretaker has imagined into being. To escape, the creature must use its action to make a Charisma check contested by the Caretaker's. If the creature wins, it escapes the dream plane. Otherwise, the effect ends on initiative count 20 on the next round. When the effect ends, the creature reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that one is occupied.
  • Every creature within 60 feet of the Caretaker must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed. While charmed the creatures are compelled to interact with the carnival's amusements no longer wanting to fight. The creature can continue to make saving throws at the end of its next turn.
