Traits

Thousand Eyes. Colscripteus has Advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks and can't be surprised.

Sphere of Pages. A sphere of orbiting pages surrounds him. The Sphere has AC 12, 90 HP, Immunity to Poison and Psychic damage, and Vulnerability to Fire damage.

  • While the Sphere has at least 1 HP, any ranged attack roll (weapon or spell) that targets Colscripteus from at least 10 feet away hits the Sphere instead.
  • Melee attacks, saving-throw effects, and area effects are not stopped by the Sphere.
  • The Sphere regains 15 HP at the start of each of Colscripteus's turns.
  • If reduced to 0 HP, it disperses and re-forms with 30 HP at the start of his second turn after, unless he uses Mend the Sphere sooner.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Colscripteus fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead. Each use strips 20 HP of pages from the Sphere (minimum 0).

Actions

Multiattack. Colscripteus makes three Page Volley attacks.

Page Volley. Ranged Attack Roll: +8 to hit, range 60 ft. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) Slashing damage.

Ignite (Recharge 5-6). Dexterity Saving Throw: DC 18, each creature in a 30-foot Emanation originating from him. Failure: 28 (8d6) Fire damage. Success: Half damage. Flammable objects in the area ignite, and the Sphere loses 30 HP.

Legendary Actions

 Legendary Action Uses: 3. Immediately after another creature's turn, Colscripteus can expend a use to take one of the following actions. He regains all expended uses at the start of his turn.

Page Cut (Cost 1). He makes one Page Volley attack.

Mend the Sphere (Cost 1). The Sphere of Pages regains 20 HP. If the Sphere is dispersed, it re-forms with 10 HP.

Ember (Cost 2). Dexterity Saving Throw: DC 18, each creature in a 10-foot Emanation originating from him. Failure: 14 (4d6) Fire damage. Success: Half damage. The Sphere loses 10 HP.

Devour Knowledge (Cost 3). Intelligence Saving Throw: DC 18, one creature he can see within 60 feet. Failure: 18 (4d8) Psychic damage, and the creature's Concentration ends. Success: Half damage only.

Description

Colscripteus pores over endless pages to sate his endless hunger for knowledge. He deprives the world of written texts, desecrating pages and hoarding the knowledge for himself, only for it to be forgotten and lost within his half-sane mind.
