Contamination. The Core Spawn Eminence emits an aura of corruption 30 feet in every direction. The ground in the aura is difficult terrain for other creatures. Any creature that starts its turn in the aura must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or take 14 (4d6) necrotic damage. A creature that succeeds on the save is immune to this Core Spawn Eminence’s Contamination for 24 hours.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the Core Spawn Eminence fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Magic Resistance. The Core Spawn Eminence has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Magical Void. On initiative count 20, roll a d10 and subtract the result from 9. This outcome is the maximum spell level that can be used by any creature that is not the Core Spawn Eminence. This effect lasts until the next initiative count 20 or the Core Spawn Eminence is dead. If a creature attempts to cast a spell of a level that this ability prevents, the spellslot and components are still expended, and the Core Spawn Eminence regaisn a number of hitpoints equal to the level of the spell.
Multiattack. The Core Spawn Eminence makes three Chain attacks, and it uses Vile Orb.
Chain. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (2d12 + 7) force damage.
Vile Orb. The Core Spawn Eminence hurls an orb at one creature it can see within 120 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw or take 31 (9d6) radiant damage.
Spellcasting. The Core Spawn Eminence casts one of the following spells, requiring no material components and using Charisma as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 21):
At will: command, black tentacles, dominate person
1/day: feeblemind
Warp Creature. The Core Spawn Eminence targets up to three creatures it can see. Each target must make a DC 23 Constitution saving throw. On a successful save, there is no effect. On a failed save, the target is poisoned, which causes it to also gain 1 level of exhaustion. While poisoned in this way, the target must repeat the saving throw at the start of each of its turns. Three successful saves against the poison end it, and ending the poison removes any levels of exhaustion caused by it. Each failed save causes the target to gain another level of exhaustion. Once the target reaches 6 levels of exhaustion, it dies and instantly transforms into a living Core Spawn Emissary under the Core Spawn Eminence’s control. If a Core Spawn Crawler is targeted by this ability it automatically fails its saving throw and gains 3 levels of exhaustion instead of 1. The transformation of the body can be undone only by a wish spell. If the saving throw failed by 6 or more, roll on the Flesh Warping table and apply the effect immediately.
The Core Spawn Eminence can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. The Core Spawn Eminence regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
Cast a Spell. The Core Spawn Eminence uses Spellcasting.
Hurl Orb. The Core Spawn Eminence uses Vile Orb.
Warp (Costs 2 Actions). The Core Spawn Eminence uses Warp Creature.
Description
Flesh Warping
Creatures that encounter a Core Spawn Eminence can be twisted beyond recognition. Whenever a creature fails a saving throw against the Core Spawn Eminences' Warp Creature effect, you can roll percentile dice and consult the Flesh Warping table to determine an additional effect.
A creature can willingly submit to flesh warping, an agonizing process that takes at least 1 hour while the creature stays within 30 feet of the Core Spawn Eminence. At the end of the process, roll once on the table (or choose one effect) to determine how the creature is transformed permanently.
