Traits

Unyielding Determination. If Altus makes a movement action and can not move through PC's or NPC's he pushes those back 5ft. If a PC could not be pushed back they are considered grappled by Altus.


Innate Spellcasting: Altus has an innate Spellcasting Ability is Charisma (spell save DC 18). He can innately cast the following Spells, requiring no material components:

At will: Detect Magic, Feather Fall, Levitate, light

Actions

Multiattack. The knight makes two melee attacks.

Dusk Breaker Greatsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., up to 3 targets within 5ft of Altus. Hit: 24 (2d12 + 8) slashing damage.

Leadership (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). For 1 minute, Altus can utter a special command or warning whenever a nonhostile creature that it can see within 30 feet of it makes an attack roll or a saving throw. The creature can add a d4 to its roll provided it can hear and understand the knight. A creature can benefit from only one Leadership die at a time. This effect ends if Altus is incapacitated.

Reactions

Parry The Wicked. Altus adds 2 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, the knight must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.

Legendary Actions

He gains the same abilities as a Storm Giant added to his current abilities.
