Duergar Resilience. The duergar has advantage on saving

throws against poison, spells, and illusions, as well as to resist

being charmed or paralyzed.

Create Sou/blade. As a bonus action, the duergar can create a

shortsword-sized, visible blade of psionic energy. The weapon

appears in the duergar's hand and vanishes if it leaves the duer-

gar's grip, or if the duergar dies or is incapacitated.

Innate Spellcasting (Psionics). The duergar' s innate spellcast-

ing ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 12, +4 to hit with spell

attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no

components:

At will: blade ward, true strike

3/day each: jump, hunter's mark

Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, the duergar has dis·

advantage on attack ro lls , as well as on Wisdom (Perception)

checks that rely on sight.

ACTIONS

Sou/blade. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one

targe t. Hit: 6 (ld6 + 3) force damage, or 10 (2d6 + 3) force

damage while enlarged. If the soulblade has advantage on the

attack roll, the attack deals an extra 3 (ld6) force damage.

Enlarge (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). For l minute, the

duergar magically increases in size, along with anything it is wear·

ing 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 th e maximum size possible in the space available.

Invisibility (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). The d uergar

magically turns invisible for up to l 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.
