Necromaton Phylactery. A necromaton’s body is its own phylactery. Its soul is anchored to the necromaton by biological matter (often an organ). If the phylactery the soul is currently inhabiting is destroyed and there are no other necromatons for the soul to possess, the necromaton dies.
Magic Resistance. The necromaton has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Turn Resistance. The necromaton has advantage on saving throws against any effect that turns undead.
Inventory. The necromaton is aware of the exact location of all of its necromaton phylacteries at all times.
Soul Transference. If the phylactery the necromaton’s soul is currently inhabiting is destroyed, the soul can possess another necromaton phylactery.
- If the target phylactery is within 500 feet of the soul, the soul instantaneously possesses that necromaton phylactery.
- If the target phylactery is within 10 miles of the soul, the soul takes 1 hour to possess that necromaton phylactery.
- If the target phylactery is within 60 miles of the soul, the soul takes 1 day to possess that necromaton phylactery.
- If the target phylactery is more than 100 miles away from the soul, the soul takes 1 week to possess that necromaton phylactery.
- If the target phylactery is in another plane of existence than the one the soul is currently occupying, the soul takes 1 week to travel to the plane of existence where that necromaton phylactery is located. If the soul has to then travel within that plane of existence to reach the desired necromaton phylactery, the rules above still apply.

Lair and Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the necromaton can take a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the necromaton can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row.
- The necromaton extends its necromantic magic to any constructs made by it within 90 feet of itself. Those constructs add 1d8 necrotic damage to any of their attacks until initiative count 20 on the next round.
- The necromaton sends a shocking volt of arcane energy to one construct of its choice within 60 feet of the necromaton. The chosen construct doubles its movement speed and can take two actions and two reactions until initiative count 20 on the next round.
- The necromaton grants its arcane gifts to all constructs made by it within 30 feet of itself. Those constructs can use their action to cast mending on any construct to heal 2d6 hit points. They retain this ability until initiative count 20 on the next round.
