Rector Flicker - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Rector Flicker

Whispers in funeral districts call him Rector Flicker, an agent between the candles of the living and the quiet of the dead. Clerics and undertakers leave more than coin when they fear his gaze. Folktales say he rose from a pact: a dying priest's oath sealed with molten wax and a promise to keep the dead from going cold in exchange for souls.

Candlebound. Rector Flicker can be damaged by physical and magical attacks. He is vulnerable to cold damage (takes double cold damage). While his candle is lit he regenerates 5 hit points at the start of his turn from the candle's heat. If the candle is extinguished he does not regain hit points and loses access to summoning and Burn Out features until it is relit.
Melt and Reform. Rector Flicker is made of wax. He can move through a 1-inch wide opening by melting and reforming, but doing so halves his movement until his next turn. If reduced to 0 hit points while his candle is lit he reforms with half his hit points at the start of his next turn unless destroyed by cold damage while in puddle form.
Burn Out. Rector Flicker can apply Burn Out to a willing or allied creature as a bonus action. Burn Out grants the marked creature an extra fire damage on weapon or spell attacks. The Rector sets a Burn Out counter between 1 and 3 when applying. At the end of each of the marked creature's turns the counter is reduced by 1. When it reaches 0 the creature collapses into a Wax Zombie under Rector's control. Rector can maintain up to three Burn Out marks total.
Wax Minions. Wax Zombies summoned by Rector Flicker have 22 hit points, AC 9, resist nonmagical bludgeoning, slashing, piercing, and deal slashing damage on attack. Each Wax Zombie has a Burn Out counter equal to the counter on the creature that turned into it (minimum 1).
Censer Flail. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 () bludgeoning plus 9 () fire damage. On a hit the censer shatters a bubble of molten wax that splashes nearby creatures: each creature within 5 feet of the target must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 7 () fire damage and 3 () psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
Molten Lash. Ranged Spell Attack: to hit, range 60 ft., one target. Hit: 14 () fire damage and the target takes 7 () ongoing wax burn damage at the start of its turn for 1 minute. The target may repeat a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the ongoing damage on a success.
Waxen Talons. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 () slashing damage. If the Rector hits with this attack and the target is Small or Medium, the target is grappled (escape ). While grappled by Rector Flicker, the target takes 7 () fire damage at the start of its turns as hot wax hardens around it. The Rector can grapple only one creature at a time with this attack.
Summon Wax Zombies. The Rector calls up to three Wax Zombies from spilled wax within 60 feet. Each wax zombie appears in an unoccupied space within range and acts on the Rector's initiative, immediately after the Rector. Wax Zombies last until destroyed or until they burn out. If a Wax Zombie's Burn Out counter reaches 0 it collapses into a puddle of cooling wax and is destroyed. The Rector can use this feature twice and regains uses after finishing a short or long rest.
Waxback Riposte. When a creature within 10 feet hits Rector Flicker with a melee attack he can cause a ripple of hot wax. The attacker must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 4 () fire damage as hardened wax splashes back.
Last Rites. If an ally within 30 feet would drop to 0 hit points, Rector Flicker can spend his reaction to apply a Burn Out to that ally, granting them an immediate surge of damage and temporary hit points but setting a Burn Out counter of 3 on that ally. When the counter reaches 0 the ally collapses into a Wax Zombie.
Shuffling Advance. Move. Rector Flicker moves up to half his speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
Swift Censer (Costs 2 Actions). Censer Strike. Rector makes one Censer Flail attack.
Command Wax (Costs 2 Actions). Command Wax. The Rector orders a Wax Zombie to immediately take one action. If no Wax Zombies are present, the Rector spends this action to cause any creature with an active Burn Out mark to take 7 () fire damage as their wax destabilizes.
