Berbalang Lore Master

Alter Energy Type (1/Turn). When the berbalang casts a spell with a spell slot and the spell deals acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, radiant, or thunder damage, it can substitute that damage with one other type from that list.

Alter Saving Throw (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). When the berbalang casts a spell with a spell slot and the spell requires a saving throw, it can change the saving throw from one ability score to another of its choice.

Innate Spellcasting (psionics). The berbalang's innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 15). The berbalang can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

At will: speak with dead

1/day: plane shift

Spellcasting. The berbalang is a 6th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 15, + 7 to hit with spell attacks). It has the following wizard spells prepared:

Cantrips: fire bolt, mage hand, poison spray, prestidigitation

1st level (4 slots): burning hands, identify, magic missile, [spelll]shield[/spell]

2nd level (3 slots): hold person, invisibility, scorching ray

3rd level (3 slots): dispel magic, fear, fireball

Multiattack. The berbalang makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its claws.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d10 + 3) piercing damage.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) slashing damage.

Spectral Duplicate (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). As a bonus action, the berbalang creates one spectral duplicate of itself in an unoccupied space it can see within 60 feet of it. While the duplicate exists, the berbalang is unconscious. A berbalang can have only one duplicate at a time. The duplicate disappears when it or the berbalang drops to 0 hit points or when the berbalang dismisses it (no action required).

 The duplicate has the same statistics and knowledge as the berbalang, and everything experienced by the duplicate is known by the berbalang. All damage dealt by the duplicate's at tacks is psychic damage.
