Valindra Shadowmantle

Traits

Mask

As a bonus action, Valindra can mask her shriveled flesh and appear to be a living elf. This magical illusion lasts until she ends it as a bonus action or until she uses her Frightening Gaze legendary action. The effect also ends if Valindra drops to 30 hit points or fewer, or if dispel magic is cast on her.

Preparation

When preparing her spells, Valindra can swap out any spell on her list of prepared spells for another wizard spell of the same level.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day)

If Valindra fails a saving throw, she can choose to succeed instead.

Rejuvenation

If destroyed Valindra gains a new body in 1d10 days, regaining all her hit points and becoming active again. The new body appears within 5 feet of the phylactery.

Turn Resistance

Valindra has advantage on saving throws against any effect that turns undead.
