Arcane Sentinel [Statblock]

Art by Clark Ocleasa.

Hey guys!

I just received a commission for an Arcane Sentinel, by Clark Ocleasa, and decided to create a stat block for those wanting to use the creature in the Arcane Prison Map.

These Sentinels were created by a combination of magic and engineering by the wardens to assist in the transport and security of the prisoners, especially the high-profile and more powerful creatures brought in by the capture teams. The High Security Vault has [4] of these Sentinels, while the teleportation room dedicated to prisoner transfer has [1] of them.

I've attached the statblock to this post, but here's a quick glance:

 As a reminder, here is the Arcane Prison Map:

 Let me know what you think in the comments.

I hope you enjoy it! =)

Crunching the numbers using the charts from the 2014 DMG seems to put it around CR 13-15 without taking into account some features and traits that don't have good analogues on the table in Chapter 9 of the 2014 DMG. Ball parking it I'd say it's probably CR 16 ish. The outliers being the interplay of regeneration/disintegration which could push it up further to maybe CR 17-18. Players don't get access to Level 6 Spells until Level 11. For a solo monster the low end of CR being 14 this makes it a hard fight, on the high end makes it deadly for that part of 4 Level 11 PCs. Trouble is at that level if it's not gonna get Legendary Actions it's gonna be in a heap of trouble real quick. So many of it's abilities are locked behind actions that its gonna be tough for it to really utilize most of the things in the stat block. And/or some minions but that's really gonna push up the difficulty of the fight Way I see it if It's alone it's gotta lead with Lockdown, Follow up with Resonant Pulse, then Hit as many PCs as it can with Forecage (box version).

I think I'd given it one before deciding on the other -- making that update. =)

Idk why it would need see invisibility when it has true sight? And what's the cr?

I definitely hope to! =)

Jeff Todd

Good ideas. Will see about implementing those.

This is so awesome love the look and stats. The blade attack is missing a damage value and might make it 3 attacks depending on the damage. For reconstitution I would have disintegrated be the only exception. And for the Lock might say can only be dispelled by wish or comparable magic.

This is great! Hope to see more creatures in the future to go with the odd map here and there :D
