Traits

Cardimenpunch Dance. Cardimenpunch can use a bonus action to control the movement of one creature cursed by its hex spell that it can see within 30 feet of it. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or use its reaction to move up to 30 feet in a direction of Cardimenpunch’s choice.

Devil’s Sight. Magical darkness doesn’t impede Cardimenpunch’s darkvision.

Innate Spellcasting. Cardimenpunch’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 15, +7 to hit with spell attacks). Cardimenpunch can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

At will: alter self, detect magic, eldritch blast (at 11th level), false life, levitate (self only), mage armor (self only)

1/day each: circle of death, enthrall, suggestion

3/day each: hellish rebuke, hex, scorching ray (at 3rd level)
