Description
An average Xorn that was cursed by a necromancer of the Abyss because of the greed it possessed over a specific rock mineral, ruby. The curse made the Xorn consume the very mineral it wants to protect. The Xorn grew in size after consuming all the minerals it knows and its eye changed into an abyssal white to give more attention on where the next closest mineral it can consume. The Xorn's greed began to consume its soul, making most of its parts be covered in precious crimson ruby.
The creature became infamous and was named Crimson Xorn. Many tried to kill the huge elemental for its whole body might be worth a whole village, but no attack can pierce through its thickened mineral exterior except from a spear made of pure Adamantine. The spear was thrown in such intensity that upon impact it left a vulnerable spot at the creature it went into hiding.
Attacking the Weak Point. Once you’ve identified the creature’s weak point, you can target it with a weapon or spell attack. The weak point has the same Armor Class as
the creature. In order to attack the weak point, you must take a – 5 penalty to hit the small target. If the attack hits, it ignores the creature’s damage resistances and immunities and deals 10 extra damage with the benefit of doubling the die. Example (a hit on the weak point with a shortsword will become a 2d6 + 10 + modifier damage)
Legend of the Weak Point. Some resistant and invulnerable creatures are so infamous that legends are told of their greatness—and of their fatal weakness. If such a legend
exists, you can use your action to make an Intelligence check if you are proficient in Arcana, History, Nature, or Religion skill depending on the nature of the creature. On a
success, you and any creatures that you tell of the legend have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Intelligence (Investigation) checks to identify the weak point.
