Description

A Skerraxis is the embodiment of the rage, hatred, and malice of a conjurer, given form as a shadowy figure. Its ethereal form makes it both delicate and difficult to strike.

It tends to focus on those who are the weakest in a party, picking off the easier targets before overwhelming the more powerful foes.

If a skerraxis’ attack exceeds a target’s defense by 3 or more, they must make a saving throw against magic or become possessed momentarily by the anger of the skerraxis, attacking the nearest ally (moving towards that ally if necessary) on their next turn.
