The steed uses the Lord of the Hunt's saving throws. If the mount succeeds on a saving throw against a damaging effect, it takes no damage. **Innate Spellcasting.** The Lord of the Hunt's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (save DC 16). He can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: - At will: *druidcraft, hunter's mark, phantom steed* - 3/day each: *commune with nature, conjure volley* - 1/day: *conjure fey* (conjured creatures vanish if concentration is broken) **Legendary Resistance (3/day).** If the Lord of the Hunt fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead. **Magic Weapons.** The Lord of the Hunt's weapon attacks are magical. ### Actions **Multiattack.** The Lord of the Hunt makes three melee attacks or three ranged attacks. **Huntsman's Spear.** *Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack:* +11 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 60/120 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) piercing damage or 14 (2d8 + 5) piercing damage if used in two hands, plus 7 (2d6) poison damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 19 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. As a bonus action, the Lord of the Hunt can cause his spear to magically appear in his hand, even if it is destroyed. **Howling Longbow.** *Ranged Weapon Attack:* +10 to hit, range 150/600 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) poison damage. ### Reactions **Parry.** The Lord of the Hunt adds 6 to his AC against one attack that would hit him. To do so, he must see the attacker and must be wielding a melee weapon. ### Legendary Actions The Lord of the Hunt can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The Lord of the Hunt regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn. **Strike.** The Lord of the Hunt makes a huntsman's spear attack or a howling longbow attack. **Tenacious Stride.** The Lord of the Hunt moves half his speed, or half the speed of any steed he rides. **Call the Hunt (2 actions).** The Lord of the Hunt blows his hunting horn and chooses one creature he can see within 60 feet. If the creature can hear the horn, it must succeed on a DC 16 Charisma saving throw or be charmed by the Lord of the Hunt for 8 hours. A charmed creature joins the wild hunt and follows his verbal instructions. Once a creature successfully saves or the effect ends for it, it is immune to Call the Hunt for the next 24 hours. ### Lair Actions On initiative count 20, the Lord of the Hunt takes a lair action (can't use the same effect two rounds in a row): - Plants erupt in a 20-foot radius around a point he can see. Creatures in the area must make a successful DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or become restrained and take 13 (3d8) poison damage. A creature can be freed by a successful DC 15 Strength check. - The Lord of the Hunt lets out a war cry. A creature he can see within 120 feet must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. - The Lord of the Hunt magically marks a target he can see within 120 feet. He has advantage on attack rolls against the marked target until initiative count 20 on the following turn. %%
