Magic Resistance. The warlord has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Burning Weapons. A creature hit by the skeleton’s melee or ranged attacks takes ongoing fire damage equal to the skeleton’s proficiency bonus. The creature can use an action to extinguish the flames, ending the ongoing damage.

Death Burst. When the skeleton is destroyed, it explodes. Each creature within 5 feet makes a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw , taking 4 (1d8) fire damage on a failed save or half damage on a success.

ACTIONS

Multiattack. The warlord makes two greatsword attacks or two black lightning attacks.

Greatsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage plus 5 (1d10) necrotic damage. On a critical hit, the warlord can use Sound the Attack.

Black Lighting. Ranged Spell Attack: +7 to hit, range 60 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (3d8) necrotic damage.

Sound the Attack. Each skeleton or skeletal horde of CR 7 or less within 30 feet can use its reaction to make an attack.

Raise Bonespawn. The warlord touches up to three inanimate skeletons or piles of bones, animating them as bonespawn under the warlord’s control.

REACTIONS

Arcane Punishment. When the warlord succeeds on a saving throw against a spell cast by a creature within 60 feet that the warlord can see, the warlord attacks the caster with black lightning.

Riposte. When a creature the warlord can see misses the warlord with a melee attack, the warlord makes a greatsword attack against that creature.
