Black Apoxia. A creature that directly touches a kurobozu must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or contract the disease known as black apoxia. On a successful save, the creature is immune to black apoxia for 24 hours. A creature who contracts this disease will see no ill effects until they have taken a long rest. When they wake, they will have shortness of breath & uncontrollable muscle spasms. The creature gains 1 level of exhaustion per day. Before taking a long rest the creature is allowed a new saving throw to become cured of the disease. The disease can also be cured with the Lesser Restoration spell or similar magic.
Evasion. When the kurbozu is subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, it instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.
Lightning Reflexes. The kurobozu can take an attack of opportunity against a creature even if it used the disengage action.
Actions
Multiattack. The Kurobozu makes 4 unarmed strike attacks.
Unarmed Strike. Melee weapon attack: +7 to hit, 5ft, one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage. A creature is hit by this attack it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be stunned until the end of the kurobozu’s next turn. A creature that fails its save also loses 1 point of wisdom and loses 1 point of ki if it has any. The kurobozu gains 5 temporary hit points per ki it absorbs. A creature who’s wisdom score is reduced to 0 is incapacitated. This Wisdom damage is restored at a rate of 1 point of Wisdom per long rest until the creature’s wisdom has returned to normal.
Steal Breath. A kurobozu can steal breath from a creature that is stunned, paralyzed, or asleep. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or suffer 1 level of exhaustion. Regardless of whether the target was successful on the saving throw, it can’t speak for 1 minute and its breath reeks of carrion. This also exposes the target to the kurobozu’s black apoxia disease.
