Traits

Anarchy Caster. Whenever Balophaxis casts a spell of first level or higher, roll a d6. If the result of the roll is equal to lower than the spells level, Balophaxis takes 2d6 lightning damage. If the spell he cast deals damage to a creature, it deals an additional 2d6 lightning damage.

Legendary Resistance (1/Day). If Balophaxis would fail a saving throw, he can chose to succeed instead.

Master of Storms. When Balophaxis casts a spell that deals lightning or thunder damage to other creatures that he can see, he can choose any number of them. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against the spell, and they take no damage if they would normally take half damage on a successful save.

Actions

Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the start of Balophaxis's next turn. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw is immune to the effects of Balophaxis's shocking dagger for 24 hours.

Description

Balophax is a scholar who became fixated with harnessing the power of the storms. With no magical talent, he resorted to dangerous experiments. When one of those experiments went hideously wrong, he was struck by lightning. Instead of dying, he gained what he always wished for; the power to harness the storms. But the cost of this wish was his sanity.
