Create Spawn. When the specter slays a humanoid, at the start of its next turn the creature rises as a ghost (page 226 in Monstrous Menagerie) under the specter’s control.

Flyby. The specter doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks when it flies out of an enemy’s reach.

Incorporeal Movement. The specter can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain . It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.

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

Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, the specter has disadvantage on attack rolls , as well as on Perception checks that rely on sight.

Turn Resistance. The specter has advantage on saving throws against any effect that turns undead.


ACTIONS

Multiattack. The specter attacks three times.

Life Drain. Melee Spell Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 10 (3d6) necrotic damage. The target makes a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the 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.


BONUS ACTIONS

Fell Smite (12 Points/ Long Rest ). When the specter hits a creature with a melee weapon attack , it can choose to expend fell smite points to deal extra damage in addition to the weapon’s damage: 1 point for 7 (2d6) necrotic damage, plus 3 (1d6) necrotic damage for each additional point, to a maximum of 17 (5d6 for 4 points).

 

Encounters

Unlike the other undead guardians that Nemirtvi has sent to protect the crypts from would-be heroes, the specter Tamas Agrens does not wait for the party to enter the dungeon if the right opportunity presents itself. Should the PCs be split up when approaching the tomb he roars out and assaults the adventurers from behind, trying to rush them inside where he can use his incorporeality to its maximum advantage. Should anyone flee however or if a lone survivor tries to escape, he gives chase for as far as 500 feet from the Sunbeam Mausoleum.

Monster Type Description

Undead are supernatural creatures or spirits that are no longer alive but are still animate. Some have been reanimated by magic spells, such as skeletons . Others, like vampires , are the products of an evil ritual or curse.
