Traits

Legendary Resistance (3 per day). If Chien-Pao fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed it instead.

Dark Attacks. Chien-Pao's attacks are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistances and immunities.

Legendary Immortality. Chien-Pao cannot die. Instead, if reduced to 0 hit points, it gets sealed within the Icerend Shrine until it is re-awakened.

Summoner of Snow. Any creature that starts their turn within 10ft. of Chien-Pao take 21 (6d6) cold damage.

Sword of Ruin. Any creature within 50ft. of Chien-Pao has their AC reduced by 3.

Actions

Multiattack. Chien-Pao can attack 3 times with Sacred Sword or Ice Shard.

Sacred Sword. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 36 (3d10 + 19) piercing or slashing damage.

Avalanche (Recharge 6). Chien-Pao roars and an avalanche of snow falls at a single point within 100ft. of Chien-Pao in a 20ft. radius. Any creature within range must succeed a DC 23 Dexterity saving throw or take 49 (14d6) bludgeoning damage + 21 (6d6) cold damage and fall prone. If they succeed the save, they take half damage and don't fall prone.

Ice Shard. RangedWeapon Attack: +14 to hit, range 120 ft., 1 target. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) cold damaged plus 14 (4d6) cold damage.

 

Reactions

Sucker Punch. If a creature within 5ft. of Chien-Pao does a melee attack and misses, Chien-Pao can make a single Sacred Sword attack against that creature in response.

Legendary Actions

Chien-Pao 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. Chien-Pao regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Ruination (Costs 3 Actions). Chien-Pao gathers destructive, necrotic energy of departed souls from snowstorms and launches it in a 60ft. cone. Any creature within range must succeed a DC 23 Dexterity saving throw or take 70 necrotic damage or half as much on a success.

Recover (Costs 2 Actions). Chien-Pao recovers its energy by taking a second to ready itself. Chien-Pao regains 28 (8d6) hit points.

Move. Chien-Pao moves up to its full movement speed.

Description

Like the other treasures of ruin, Chien-Pao's true form is that of the broken sword forming its fangs, having been given life by the hatred of people slain by those who wielded it long ago — while its body is a form it has constructed using its control over ice and snow. Chien-Pao is described as being able to control 100 tons of fallen snow, causing avalanches and playing around in them innocently. It is known as the Sword of Ruin.
