air pirates

Traits

Aerial Ambush

If the Air Pirate moves at least 20 feet straight toward a target and hits with a melee attack, it deals an extra 7 (2d6) damage.

Evasive Form

If the Air Pirate flies at least 30 feet during its turn, ranged attacks against it have disadvantage until the start of its next turn.

Actions

Cutlass Slash (Melee Weapon Attack)

+6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) slashing damage.

Spinning Dive (Recharge 5–6)

The Air Pirate dives in a spiraling slash through a 20 ft. line, 5 ft. wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking 17 (5d6) slashing damage on a failure, or half on a success. After the dive, the Air Pirate may fly up to half its flying speed without provoking opportunity attacks.

Bonus Actions

Phase Flicker (Recharge 4–6)

The Air Pirate teleports up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space it can see. If it ends adjacent to a creature, it has advantage on its next melee attack against that creature before the end of its turn.

Flyby Dash

The Air Pirate flies up to half its flying speed without provoking opportunity attacks. It must end this movement at least 10 feet away from where it started.

Reactions

If hit by a melee weapon attack from a creature within 5 feet, the Air Pirate can reduce the damage by 1d8 + 2 (its DEX modifier).

Air Twist (Recharge 6)

When a creature misses the Air Pirate with an attack, it can immediately move up to 20 feet in any direction, including vertically, without provoking opportunity attacks.
