Captivating Presence. Any creature that starts its turn within

30 feet of Rakdos must make a DC^25 Wisdom saving throw.

On a failed save, the creature becomes charmed by Rakdos for

1 minute or until the creature is farther than^30 feet away from

him. On a successful save, the creature becomes immune to

Rakdos's Captivating Presence for^24 hours.

Cruel Entertainment. When a creature Rakdos can see within

60 feet of him is reduced to^0 hit points, Rakdos gains^25 tem-

porary hit points.

Innate Spellcasting. Rakdos's spellcasting ability is Charisma

(spell save DC 25). He can innately cast hellish rebuke (at 5th

level) at will, requiring no material components.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Rakdos fails a saving throw, he

can choose to succeed instead.

against spells and other magical effects.

LEGENDARY ACTIONS

Rakdos can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the op·

tions below. Only one legendary action option can be used at

a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Rakdos

regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn.

Sadistic Revelry. Each creature within^60 feet of Rakdos that is

his ally or is charmed by him must use its reaction to move

up to half its speed toward the creature closest to it that it

can see, provided it isn't already within S feet of that creature.

It then must make one melee attack against that creature if it

is able to do so.

Scythe (Costs 2 Actions). Rakdos uses Curtain-Call Scythe.

Touch of Pain (Costs 3 Actions). Rakdos makes a claw attack

against one creature within^10 feet of him. The target must

succeed on a DC 25 Constitution saving throw or be poi-

soned for l minute. While poisoned in this way, the creature

can't maintain concentration on a spell or any other effect

that requires concentration. The poisoned creature can re-

peat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending

the effect on itself on a success.
