Description
The Ancient Haar is a larger, far older, and far more powerful specimen of haar. Having lived for millennia, and accumulated the knowledge of almost every race, he now serves as a custodian of his ancient wisdom. He enjoys conversing with mortals and acquiring new information. He will happily trade his knowledge for any new information he deems of equal value. He will only engage in battle if he is threatened, or in an undertaking he deems truly valuable.
Lair and Lair Actions
It is from his lair that the Haar derives his true power. Like all haar, he is surrounded by a fog that is an extension of his will. Unlike other Haar, his fog extends for miles around, and it is from this fog that his true power derives. This fog can be considered in four separate zones.
The haar currently lies at the bottom of a deep ravine, in the tower of a lighthouse he has constructed. The bottom of the ravine is a Forrest of The Haar's design.
The first zone is the approach. Here the fog is ankle-deep, The Haar can sense the number of creatures that are present here, and instill a vague feeling of dread in the minds of any trespassers.
The second zone is the envelopment. This is when the fog is deep enough to completely surround all creatures who are large or smaller. In this zone, the Haar can detect the alignment and Challenge Rating of all creatures who enter and is able to use The Haar's Wrath.
The third zone is the ravine. All sound is muffled, the light quality in this zone is dim regardless of the time of day. It is considered sunlight for all other purposes. Only creatures aligned with the Haar are able to have advantage. Weather and water altering spells have no effect on this fog. The Haar may use True Haar's Wrath and The Haar's Disdain.
The last zone is the sanctum and is the floor of the ravine. This includes the forest and the lighthouse. In this zone, light is dim when not in sight of the lighthouse regardless of other effects. No magic may alter the fog. All creatures roll with disadvantage unless they are aligned with the Haar. The haar may telepathically communicate with any being in this zone. The Haar may use True Haar's Wrath, True Haar's Disdain, and may personally attack with any of its abilities. The only way to enter or leave this zone is by using normal movement.
See Haar for description of Haar's wrath.
Haar's Disdain: every hour in which they move toward the lighthouse, every creature in this zone must pass an 18 check in their highest intelligence or charisma related skill to impress the Haar. If they fail they immediately take [roll]1d6-1[/roll]cold damage.
True Haar's Wrath. Identical to Haar's wrath, except no modifier or ability is able to augment the saving throw.
True Haar's disdain. Identical to Haar's Disdain except the check is now performed based on the lowest Intelligence or Charisma skill, and the victim suffers [roll]1d20+2[/roll] cold damage if they fail.
