Greater Magic Resistance. The rakshasa automatically succeeds on saving throws against spells and other magical effects, and the attack rolls of spells automatically miss it. Without the rakshasa’s permission, no spell can observe the rakshasa remotely or detect its thoughts, creature type, or alignment.
Fiendish Restoration. If the rakshasa dies outside the Nine Hells, its body turns to ichor, and it gains a new body instantly, reviving with all its Hit Points somewhere in the Nine Hells.
Multiattack. The rakshasa makes three Cursed Touch attacks.
Cursed Touch. Melee Attack Roll: +10, reach 5 ft. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) Slashing damage plus 19 (3d12) Necrotic damage. If the target is a creature, it is cursed. While cursed, the target gains no benefit from finishing a Short or Long Rest.
Baleful Command (Recharge 5–6). Wisdom Saving Throw: DC 18, each enemy in a 30-foot Emanation originating from the rakshasa. Failure: 28 (8d6) Psychic damage, and the target has the Frightened and Incapacitated conditions until the start of the rakshasa’s next turn.
Spellcasting. The rakshasa casts one of the following spells, requiring no Material components and using Charisma as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 18):
At Will: Detect Magic, Detect Thoughts, Disguise Self, Mage Hand, Minor Illusion
1/Day Each: Fly, Invisibility, Major Image, Plane Shift

Posted Mar 4, 2026In my personal campaigns, and several others (like Matt Mercer), when the Rakshasa is killed on the material plane Fiendish Restoration sends it back to the Nine Hells, however it is not instantly 'reborn'. It takes a period of weeks or months for the creatures 'soul' to reform in the Nine Hells, so it cannot instantly Plane Shift back. And the reformation process is not a pleasant one, often leaving the Rakshasa scarred, angered and hell bent on seeking revenge on any creature who slays it.
