Lair and Lair Actions

A Black Fly Wizard's Lair

 

A black fly wizard encountered in its lair has a challenge rating of 12 (8,400 XP).

Lair Actions

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

  • The black fly wizard rolls a d8 and regains a spell slot of that level or lower. If it has no spent spell slots of that level or lower, nothing happens.
  • The black fly wizard targets one creature it can see within 30 feet of it. A crackling cord of negative energy tethers the black fly wizard to the target. Whenever the black fly wizard takes damage, the target must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the black fly wizard takes half the damage (rounded down), and the target takes the remaining damage. This tether lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round or until the black fly wizard or the target is no longer in the black fly wizard’s lair.
