Enlarge (Recharges

after a Short or Long Rest).

For 1 minute,

the duergar magically increases

in size, along with anything it

is wearing or carrying. While

enlarged, the duergar is Large,

doubles its damage dice

on Strength-based weapon attacks

(included in the attacks)

, and makes Strength checks and

Strength

saving throws with advantage.

If the duergar lacks the

room

to become Large, it attains the

maximum size possible in

the space available.

Invisibility

(Recharges after a Short or Long

Rest). The duergar

magically turns invisible

for up to 1 hour or until it attacks,

it

casts

a spell, it uses its Enlarge, or its concentration

is broken

(as

if concentrating on a spell). Any

equipment the duergar

wears or carries
is invisible with it.

EIDOLON

The gods have

many methods for protecting

s ites they

deem holy.

One servant they rely on often to

do so is

the eidolon

, a ghostly spirit bound by a sacred

oath to

safeguard

a place of import to the divine.

Forged from

the souls of those who had

prove n their unwavering

devotion, eidolons s talk

temples and vaults, place s

where

miracles have been witnessed

and relics en-

shrined,

to ensure that no enemy can

gain a foothold

against

the gods' cause through de filement

or violence

withi

n these sites. If an enemy with

such intent sets

foot inside a warded

location, the eidolon plunges

into a

graven

vessel, a statue specially

prepared to house the

souls of these protectors. The eidolon

then animates

the effigy and uses the borrowed

body to drive out the

intr uders bent on plundering

the relics it is charged

with guarding.

Sacred Guardians.

Creating an eidolon

requires a

spirit of fanatical

devotion-that of an individual

who, in

life, served with unwavering

faithfulness. Upon death,

a god might reward such

a follower with everlasting

service in the prote ction

of a holy site. An eidolon has

no

purpose

beyond guarding the place it

was assigned to

and never

leaves.

Animated Statues.

An eidolon has few methods

for

protecting itself beyond

its ability to awaken its s acred

vessels. When a fo

e enters, the eidolon leaps into

action

by

merging its body with one of several

statues at the

site.

After doing so, the eidolon

controls the construct

as if it was its own body and uses

its fists to drive back

intruders, smashing

and crushing anything it

can reach.

Undead Nature.

An eidolon doesn't require

air, food,

drink, or sleep.
