Spellcasting. The blackguard is a 15th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 16, +8 to hit with spell attacks). It has the following paladin spells prepared:
1st level (4 slots): command, protection from evil and good, thunderous smite
2nd level (3 slots): branding smite, find steed
3rd level (3 slots): blinding smite, dispel magic
4th level (2 slots)staggering smite, confusion
Multiattack. The blackguard makes three attacks with its glaive or its javelins.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d8 + 5) piercing damage.
Glaive. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) slashing damage.
Javelin. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5ft., range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d8 + 5) piercing damage.
Acid breath (Recharge 5-6). Castothrane exhales acid in a 30-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 49 (11d8) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a succesful one.
Dreadful Aspect (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). The blackguard exudes magical menace. Each enemy within 30 feet of the blackguard must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. If a frightened target ends its turn more than 30 feet away from the blackguard, the target can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Parry. Castothrane adds 5 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit him. To do so, he must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.
