Actions

Guillotine Blade

Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, reach 10 ft., or range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 30 (6d6 + 9) slashing damage plus 14 (4d6) necrotic damage. The target must succeed on a DC 21 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken. This reduction lasts until the creature finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. Immediately after making a ranged attack, this weapon flies back to the Executioner's hands.

Necrotic Vents (Recharge 5-6)

The Executioner vents necrotic gas in a 30-foot radius. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 21 Constitution saving throw, taking 45 (10d8) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature who fails this saving throw by 5 or more gains one level of contamination.
