Fiendish Regeneration

Legendary Resistance (3/Day)

If Belial fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Resistance

Belial has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Actions

Multiattack

Belial makes three attacks using his Ranseur of Torture.

Ranseur of Torture

Melee Weapon Attack: +18 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (2d10 + 10) piercing damage plus 5 (1d10) necrotic damage, and the target must make a DC 23 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target's movement speed is reduced by 5 feet until the end of their next turn. This penalty can stack.

Walls of Phlegethos

Belial creates a wall of fire on a solid surface within 120 feet of him. The wall is 20 feet high and 1 foot thick, and Belial can make the wall up to 60 feet long or create a ringed wall up to 20 feet in diameter. The wall is opaque and lasts until Belial dismisses it. When the wall appears, each creature within its area must make a DC 25 Dexterity saving throw, taking 36 (8d8) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that ends its turn inside the wall, or within 5 feet of it, must repeat the save.

Symbol of Insanity (Recharge 4-6)

Belial draws a magic symbol at a point he can see within 120 feet of him. All creatures within a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on the symbol must make a DC 25 Intelligence saving throw. Targets take 45 (10d8) psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Creatures that fail the save immediately use their reaction to make a melee attack against a random creature within their reach, then move their full movement in a random direction.

Legendary actions

Ranseur

Belial makes a Ranseur of Torture attack.

Eruption (Costs 2 Actions)

Belial causes molten stone to erupt from a point he can see within 90 feet of him. All creatures within a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a DC 23 Dexterity saving throw. Targets take 28 (8d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
