Graz'zt's Gift. Sythian's AC includes his Charisma modifier.

Spellcasting. Sythian casts one of the following spells, using Charisma as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 14):

Multiattack. Sythian makes two Poisoned Shortsword or Poisoned Dart attacks and uses Whispers of Azzagrat.

Poisoned Shortsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit:5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage plus 5 (1d10) poison damage.

Poisoned Dart. Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit:4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage plus 5 (1d10) poison damage.

Whispers of Azzagrat. Each creature in a 15-foot cube originating from Sythian must make a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 18 (4d8) psychic damage and is incapacitated until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't incapacitated.

Fiendish Rebuke (3/Day). Immediately after a creature within 5 feet of Sythian hits him with an attack roll, Sythian forces that creature to make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw. The creature takes 14 (4d6) fire damage on a failed saving throw, or half as much damage on a successful one.
