Corrupted Lich Wizard, Bone Priest of the Underdark - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Corrupted Lich Wizard, Bone Priest of the Underdark

Long before the Underdark swallowed its chapel, this priest-wizard sought to preserve doctrine beyond death. When age and fear turned it toward lichdom, the rites came out warped. Centuries in darkness eroded its faith into obsession, and its sermons now blame the modern world for the insult of being forgotten. It still speaks in holy cadences, but every blessing is a threat and every prayer a necromantic command.

Undead Resilience. The corrupted lich wizard is immune to disease and to any effect that would transform it into an undead creature, because it already is one.
Cryptborn Concealment. While in dim light or darkness, the corrupted lich wizard has advantage on Stealth checks and on saving throws against being blinded.
Sacramental Focus. The corrupted lich wizard can cast spells while wearing its priestly robes and carrying its crozier as if they were arcane foci.
Bone Crozier. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 10 () bludgeoning damage plus 7 () necrotic damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest.
Gravebolt. Ranged Spell Attack: to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 13 () necrotic damage, and the target cannot regain hit points until the start of the corrupted lich wizard's next turn.
Litany of Withering. The corrupted lich wizard exhales a sepulchral prayer in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a Wisdom saving throw, taking 14 () necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Undead allies in the area instead regain 7 hit points.
Curse of the Blasphemous Rite. When a creature the corrupted lich wizard can see hits it with an attack, the attacker must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 5 () necrotic damage and have disadvantage on its next attack roll before the end of its next turn. The corrupted lich wizard can use this reaction only if it is not incapacitated.
Shamble Through the Crypt. The corrupted lich wizard moves up to half its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
Gravebolt. It makes one Gravebolt attack.
Command the Dead (Costs 2 Actions). One undead ally the lich can see within 60 feet can use its reaction to move up to its speed and make one attack.
