Multiattack

Comet Blast

Ranged Spell Attack: +9 to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d10 + 5) force damage.

All-Consuming Star (Recharge 6)

The hierophant conjures a manifestation of the All-Consuming Star: brilliant light and haunting screams that fill a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point the hierophant can see within 60 feet of itself. Each creature within the sphere has the blinded and deafened conditions. Each creature that enters the sphere for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 27 (6d8) psychic damage and has the incapacitated condition until the start of its next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage only. The manifestation persists until the hierophant dies, has the incapacitated condition, uses a bonus action to end the effect, or uses this action again.

Spellcasting

The hierophant casts one of the following spells, using Charisma as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 17): • At will: Detect Thoughts, Mage Hand, Thaumaturgy • 1/Day each: Dimension Door, Mass Suggestion

Star's Hunger (Bonus Action)

The hierophant targets one creature within 30 feet of the center of its All-Consuming Star. The target must succeed on a DC 17 Strength saving throw or be pulled up to 30 feet toward the center of the All-Consuming Star.
