Shrouded Presence

Actions

Multiattack

The slasher makes two Slasher's Knife attacks.

Slasher's Knife

Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 30/60 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d4 + 4) slashing damage plus 21 (6d6) necrotic damage. If the target is a creature, it suffers a lingering wound that causes it to take 7 (2d6) necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns. Each time the slasher hits the wounded target with this attack, the damage dealt by the wound increases by 3 (1d6). The wound ends if the target regains hit points or if a creature uses an action to stanch the wound, which requires a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Medicine) check.

Legendary actions

Legendary Actions (3/Turn)

The slasher can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The slasher regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Slice

Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 30/60 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) slashing damage.

Vanishing Strike (Costs 3 Actions)
