Breath of Death (1/Day)

Reactions
Draining Counterspell
Jon Irenicus interrupts a creature he can see that is casting a spell. If the spell is 3rd level or lower, it fails and has no effect. If the spell is 4th level or higher, Jon Irenicus makes an Intelligence check (DC 10 + the spell's level). On a success, the spell fails and has no effect. Whatever the spell's level, the caster takes 10 (3d6) necrotic damage if the spell fails.
Legendary action uses: 3. The creature can use one option at the end of another creature’s turn and regains spent uses at the start of its turn.

Jon Irenicus makes a drain life attack with his rod of lordly might. If he hits a creature with his rod, the creature must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw.

Paralyze (1/Day)
Jon Irenicus makes a paralyze attack with his rod of lordly might. If he hits a creature with his rod, the creature must make a DC 17 Strength saving throw.
