Legendary Resistance (3/day). If Andropinis fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

Spellcasting. Andropinis is a 20th-level sorcerer. His spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 19, +11 to hit with spell attacks). He knows the following sorcerer spells:

Cantrips (at will): fire bolt, prestidigitation, mage hand

1st level (4 slots): shield, magic missile

2nd level (3 slots): scorching ray, suggestion

3rd level (3 slots): fireball, counterspell

Sorcerous Restoration. Andropinis regains 10 sorcery points at the start of his turn if he has no more than half of his hit points remaining.

Spell Resistance. Andropinis has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Evasion. When Andropinis is subjected to an effect that allows him to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, he instead takes no damage if he succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if he fails.

Magic Resistance. Andropinis has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Actions

Multiattack. Andropinis can use his Frightening Gaze. He then makes two spell attacks or uses his fire bolt cantrip twice.

Frightening Gaze. Andropinis fixes his gaze on one creature he can see within 30 feet of him. The target must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. The frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a target's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to Andropinis's Frightening Gaze for the next 24 hours.

Domineering Presence (Recharge 5-6). Each creature of Andropinis's choice that is within 120 feet of him and aware of him must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or become charmed by him for 1 minute. While charmed in this way, the creature regards Andropinis as its trusted leader. The charmed creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
