Drain Will. Any creature that starts its turn within 30 feet of Bureaucrathor must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or lose its next action due to an overwhelming sense of bureaucratic despair.
Legendary Resistance (2/Day). If Bureaucrathor fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.
Bureaucratic Blast. Ranged Spell Attack: +7 to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) psychic damage. The target must succeed on a DC 16 Intelligence saving throw or be stunned until the end of its next turn as it's overwhelmed by legal jargon and paperwork.
Innate Bureaucracy. Bureaucrathor can cast hold person (save DC 16) at will, requiring no material components. His casting of this spell is flavored as a deluge of paperwork immobilizing the target.
Summon Auditor (1/Day). Bureaucrathor summons 1d4+1 spectral auditors. The auditors appear in unoccupied spaces within 60 feet of him and act on his initiative count. Auditors are similar to specter but can cast counterspell at 3rd level once per day.
Red Tape. As a reaction when a creature within 60 feet of Bureaucrathor takes an action, he can force them to make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature must spend their next turn filling out forms and cannot take any other actions.
Bureaucratic Objection. When a creature within 60 feet of Bureaucrathor that he can see targets him with an attack, he can impose disadvantage on the attack roll, representing a sudden influx of distracting paperwork.
Description
In the labyrinthine corridors of the ancient, dust-laden archives, lurks Bureaucrathor, the Paper Tyrant. A fiend of paperwork and mind-numbing procedures, Bureaucrathor strikes terror into the hearts of adventurers with his most dreaded weapon: endless bureaucracy.
Adventurers who encounter Bureaucrathor find themselves trapped in a Kafkaesque nightmare. He doesn't attack with claws or magic but with a ceaseless barrage of forms to fill out, permits to obtain, and redundant courses on topics they are already well-versed in. The courses are mind-numbingly dull, taught by spectral lecturers who drone on about the proper way to fill out a myriad of forms and the importance of adhering to the guidelines of the Great Archive.
Bureaucrathor's true power lies in his ability to sap the will of his victims. With each form filled and each pointless course attended, adventurers feel their energy and patience draining away. To defeat him, one must navigate his bureaucratic maze, find the loopholes in his paperwork, and outwit him in his own game of administrative absurdity.
Legend has it that Bureaucrathor was once a diligent archivist who was consumed by his own obsession for order and rules. Now, he exists only to perpetuate the endless cycle of paperwork, finding a twisted delight in watching bold heroes succumb to the greatest challenge of all: bureaucratic red tape.
Facing Bureaucrathor is not a test of strength or skill but a battle of wits and patience. Only those who can maintain their focus and resist the numbing tedium of his bureaucratic barrage can hope to escape his clutches and emerge victorious.
