Barbatos, Wielder of Triumph

Legendary Resistance (4/day). When Barbatos fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Resistance. Barbatos has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Warlord. Allies of Barbatos’ choice within 60 feet of him add 1d4 to their attack rolls and saving throws. Creatures that benefit from this trait deal an additional 18 (4d8) radiant damage on a hit with a weapon attack.

Thread of Triumph. Barbatos carries the Thread of Triumph. In the event of his death, it will gently float above his corpse, ready for another to claim. A creature that attempts to claim it must succeed on a DC 20 Charisma saving throw or take 110 (20d10) force damage. Then, they must convince the Thread of Triumph to attune to them, and vow to protect it from those who wish to destroy it. A creature that claims a Thread of Divinity becomes an ascended being of CR 26 or higher.

Wielder of Triumph. As the Wielder of Triumph, Barbatos gains a wide array of abilities pertaining to his divine domain:

• Barbatos doesn’t require sleep, food, drink or air, drawing all the sustenance he needs from the divine domain of Triumph.
• Barbatos is immune to any effect that would reduce his maximum hit points, outright kill him, or set his hit points to 0. Spells and magical effects that would impede him from regaining hit points instead halve the amount of hit points he regains.
• Once per turn when Barbatos reduces a hostile creature to 0 hit points, he can choose to regain 100 hit points and immediately take another action.
• Whenever Barbatos deals force damage, he regains an amount of hit points equal to the damage dealt.

Unendurable Strikes. Barbatos’ attacks are magical and deal an additional 5d10 force damage (included in the attack). Additionally Barbatos’ melee attacks hit critically on a natural roll of 18-20. Immortal Victor. Barbatos regains 50 hit points at the start of each of his turns as long as he has at least one legendary resistance remaining. Barbatos is killed only if he starts his turn with 0 hit points and doesn’t regenerate.

Alert. Barbatos cannot be surprised while he is conscious, and has a
+5 bonus to Initiative rolls.

Perfect Defense. Barbatos reduces all incoming damage from attacks
by 10. In addition, whenever he is subjected to an effect that allows
him to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, he
instead takes no damage if he succeeds and half damage if he fails.

Innate Spellcasting. Barbatos can cast the following spells innately, requiring no material
components. Charisma is his spellcasting ability for these spells (spell save DC 28, +20 to hit with spell attacks).

At will: compelled duel, plane shift, pulverizing radiance

3/day each: heavenly ire, power word penance, power word stun

1/day each: entropy of teng, cloak of barbatos 

Multiattack. Barbatos makes five attacks: two with his Claws, two with his Wings, and one with his Eye Beam.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +20 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 31 (6d6 + 10) slashing damage plus 27 (5d10) force damage. Instead of dealing damage, Barbatos can grapple the target (escape DC 28).

Wing. Melee Weapon Attack: +20 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 24 (4d6 + 10) slashing damage plus 27 (5d10) force damage. A creature hit by this attack must succeed on a DC 28 Strength saving throw or be knocked 30 feet away from Barbatos. Instead of knocking the creature away, Barbatos can choose to pin it to the ground or to a wall, provided both he and the creature are not flying. A creature pinned in this way is prone and restrained until the end of its next turn. As part of this attack, Barbatos can move up to 15 feet in any direction, including up, without provoking opportunity attacks.

Eye Beam. Ranged Spell Attack: +20 to hit, range 240 ft., one target. Hit: 35 (10d6) force damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 28 Constitution saving throw or be blinded for one minute. If this damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, it is disintegrated. A disintegrated creature and everything it is wearing and carrying, except Very Rare or rarer magic items, are reduced to a pile of fine red dust. The creature can be restored to life only by means of a true resurrection or a wish spell. This attack automatically disintegrates a Large or smaller non magical objects or a creation of magical force. If the target is a Huge or larger object or creation of force, this attack disintegrates a 10-foot-cube portion of it. Very Rare or rarer magic items are unaffected by this attack. 

As a bonus action, Barbatos performs one of the following Arts of War. After using an Art of War, Barbatos cannot use that same Art of War option until the start of his next turn.

Coup de Grace. Barbatos makes one Claw attack against a creature within range. On a hit against a creature that has 100 hit points or fewer, it must succeed on a DC 28 Constitution saving throw or be killed instantly. Barbatos can choose to reduce the target to 0 hit points instead, leaving it stable.
Whirlwind. Barbatos makes two Wing attacks against each creature of his choice within 5 feet of him.

Sunder Defenses. Barbatos makes one Claw attack against a creature within range. On a hit against a creature that is wearing armor, the target must succeed on a DC 28 Dexterity saving throw or have their AC reduced by 10 for one minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. This effect cannot be applied multiple times to the same target, and cannot lower a creature’s AC below what they would have if they weren’t wearing any armor.

Staggering Strike. Barbatos makes one Wing attack against a creature within range. On a hit, the target must succeed on a DC 28 Constitution saving throw or be incapacitated and have their speed halved for one minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Banishing Beam. Barbatos makes one Eye Beam attack. A creature hit by this attack must succeed on a DC 28 Charisma saving throw or be banished to a plane of existence of Barbatos’ choice. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, returning to the nearest unoccupied space from where it was banished on a success.

Soul Wound. Barbatos makes one Claw attack. A creature hit by this attack must succeed on a DC 28 Charisma saving throw or be unable to teleport, leave the plane of existence it is currently in, use Mythical Techniques, or cast spells of 5th level or higher for one minute. If the target has no Mythical Techniques or spell slots of 5th level or higher, it cannot use its most powerful magical action or feature for the duration. A dragon, for example, will not be able to use its Breath Weapon. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. 

Parry and Riposte. Barbatos adds 6 to his AC against one melee attack that would hit him, potentially causing it to miss. To do so, Barbatos must see the attacker. If the attack misses, Barbatos can make a Wing attacks against the attacker.

Always Triumphant (3/day). Barbatos chooses to succeed a saving throw he has failed and ends all harmful conditions currently afflicting him.

Nephilim Smite (Costs 2 Actions). Barbatos calls down a radiant beam of light unto a target he can see within 120 feet. The target must make a DC 28 Dexterity saving throw, taking 55 (10d10) radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Arts of War (Costs 2 Actions). Barbatos uses his Arts of War bonus action.

Dark Hand (Costs 3 Actions). Barbatos makes one Claw attack against a target within range.

The target’s hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest.
