Traits

Guile: Vladimir is immune to being charmed. Any attempt to alter his mental faculties will fail.

Nimble: Vladimir is immune to being pushed, pulled, shoved, grappled, and knocked prone. All terrain is easy terrain. He does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Cruel Blow: Whenever Vladimir lands a physical attack he causes bleeding*. This condition cannot be initially resisted.

Merciless: Vladimir strikes twice with any weapon on opportunity attacks.

Swift: Vladimir can use his movement twice. 

Bleeding: Bleeding creatures must make a Consitution save of DC 13 at the end of their turns, or take 3 (1d6) bleed damage. If this damage brings your health to 1/3 of your max HP, or you are already under 1/3 of your max HP, you gain a point of exhaustion. Making a constitution DC 15 ends this condition. Multiple instances of bleeding do not stack. This effect does not incur exhaustion if you have 5 points of exhaustion or more. 

Actions

Multiattack. Vladimir strikes three times with any weapon.

Lithe. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d8 + 10 ) piercing damage, Vladimir stabs his opponent with deadly accuracy, using his razor thin sword Lithe. This strike hamstrings you, reducing your movement by 5. This movement cannot be restored during the fight.

Night Wing. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 13) slashing damage, and the target must make a DC 15 CON saving throw or gain a point of exhaustion.  This effect does not occur if you have 5 points of exhaustion or more. Vladimir strikes with this gruesome hooked sword, Night Wing.

Silence. Ranged Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 120ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d8 +7) piercing damage. Vladimir shoots a small wrist crossbow with surprising accuracy and speed, granting him advantage with this attack. If you are struck within 15 feet by this attack, and are not wearing medium armor or better, you get the wind knocked out of you, causing a point of exhaustion. 

Reactions

Lightning Reflexes: Vladimir can use two reactions per turn.

Foresight: Vladimir can use his reaction to cause disadvantage on any physical attack. He can also re-roll any spell save DC. 

 

Legendary Actions

Cull the Weary: Vladimir maneuvers around a 30 foot radius with inhuman speed, striking out at anyone inside. If a character inside that 30 foot radius has 3 points of exhaustion or higher, or if their movement is 0, their HP is reduced to 0. This HP reduction cannot be resisted. 

 

Description

Vladimir is the leader of Shade - the premier assassin's guild on the continent. He is said to have killed his own parents at the age of 10 as a rite of passage in to the guild. He was raised by the former leader of Shade, Void. Vladimir became the new leader at the age of 16, after killing Void in traditional combat. Many have tried to take his throne over the last 30 years, but he remains as deadly as ever.
