Darkvision

A monster with darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. Some forms of magical darkness, such as a 4th-level Darkness spell, block normal darkvision. A monster with Greater Darkvision, however, can see through even these forms of magical darkness.

At-Will Spells

The monster can cast its at-will spells any number of times without using up spell slots.

Constant Spells

A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.

+1 Status to All Saves vs. MagicMagic-Warping Aura (arcane, aura, transmutation)

30 feet.

A vaspercham's shell distorts nearby magic. Any creature in the aura who Casts a Spell must attempt a DC 37 will save.

---

Critical Success The spell is unaffected and the caster is temporarily immune to the magic-warping aura for 1 minute.

Success The spell is unaffected, but if the spell allows a saving throw, the vaspercham gains a +1 circumstance bonus to save against it.

Failure If the spell has a target and there are one or more viable targets within its range, the spell's target changes, determined randomly by the GM. If there is no other possible target within range or the spell has no target, the spell is disrupted.

Critical Failure The caster instead Casts another Spell, choosing randomly from their spell repertoire, prepared spells, or available focus spells (as appropriate) and selecting any targets at random.

Hallucinatory Brine (arcane, illusion, mental)

A creature hit by the vaspercham's Strikes or Mindwarping Tide must attempt a DC 38 fortitude save. On a failure, the creature is overwhelmed with phantasmal visions, becoming Confused for 1 round (1 minute on a critical failure).

Mindwarping Tide (concentrate)

The vaspercham releases an effusion of noxious water from its shell. Creatures within a 15-foot emanation must save against the vaspercham's hallucinatory brine.

Whipping Tentacles

The vaspercham makes four tentacle Strikes, each against a different target. These attacks count toward the vaspercham's multiple attack penalty, but the multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until after the vaspercham makes all of their attacks.

---

The darkly intelligent vaspercham, an aquatic horror who delights in violence and destruction, lurks in the shallows near shorelines. Once a vaspercham settles on a new home, they stubbornly stay there, regardless of any communities dwelling nearby. A vaspercham's physical might and magic-warping abilities make them incredibly hard to dislodge once entrenched, and many seaside communities have relocated after a vaspercham came calling. The monster responds only to strength, so one must best a vaspercham in combat to gain their begrudging cooperation. But once the creature recovers their strength, they inevitably betray any temporary alliance.
