Traits

Feeding the Fire. When the Charcoal Woad is hit by fire damage, it gains advantage on its next turn. This also increases the damage dealt by Protective Flame and Fire Blast by one dice level (D6 to D8 etc.). The Woad also leaves patches of smoldering earth when in this state.

Protective Flame. The Charcoal Woad's body is unbearably hot and striking it from a range within 5 feet causes the attacker to take 7(2d6) fire damage every time they strike the Woad.

Magic Resistance. The Charcoal Woad has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects

Firelight. The Charcoal Woad constantly emits 15 ft. of dim light.

Actions

Fire Blast. (Recharge 8) Ranged Spell Attack: +4 to hit, range 60 ft., two target. Hit: 25 (7d4 + 8) fire damage.

Description

Similar in overall appearance to the good-natured Wood Woad, these "plants" have been birthed from the negative and chaotic magic released from the destruction of a woodland as result of warfare. The death and suffering of war mixed with the pain felt by the soul within a Wood Woad failing their oath to defend their woodland. These Wood Woads unfortunate enough to experience these events would be transformed by anger and arcane energy burning away the outer shell of their woody existence, this gives them the appearance of a charred log with white ash on the extremities, the shield of wood and the creatures club seem to be made of smoldering material, and when swung through the air emit heat and glow orange as oxygen feeds the fire. This leads to the creature's soul becoming violent, and the creature will change its oath from protection to the elimination of potential forest threats on sight. Their face is a black void with no expression, two motes of light that make up the eyes burn in an intense orange color. These creatures are rare to see, but the little observation made of them show a high aggression for most people except for oathful protectors of nature, and attempting to burn the creatures further seems to increase their aggression and even leads to the creatures running toward their targets.
