-------------------------
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the Ghostlord fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.
Turn Resistance. The Ghostlord has advantage on saving throws against any effect that turns undead.
Rejuvenation. If he has a phylactery, a destroyed Ghostlord gains a new body in 1d10 days, regaining all his hit points and becoming active again. The new body appears within 5 feet of the phylactery.
Undead Wild Shape. As a bonus action, the Ghostlord can magically assume one of his other undead forms. He can stay in another form for up to 5 hours. He then reverts to his normal form unless he expends another use of this feature. He can revert to his normal form earlier by using a bonus action on his turn. He automatically reverts if he falls unconscious, drops to 0 hit points, or dies. Once he has used this feature twice, he cannot use it again until he has completed a short or long rest. This feature otherwise follows all of the rules for the Druidic Wild Shape ability.
Spellcasting. The Ghostlord is a 10th-level spellcaster. His spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 18, +10 to hit with spell attacks). The Ghostlord has the following druid spells (which are not necessarily on the normal druid list) prepared:
Cantrips (at will): druidcraft, poison spray, thorn whip
1st level (4 slots): bane, burning hands, detect magic
2nd level (3 slots): flaming sphere, heat metal, ray of enfeeblement
3rd level (3 slots): dispel magic, protection from energy, stinking cloud
4th level (3 slots): blight
5th level (2 slots): antilife shell, contagion, flame strike
-------------------------
Actions
Paralyzing Touch (melee 5 ft) +10: 2d6 cold, and the target must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
-------------------------
Legendary Actions
The Ghostlord (Lich Form) can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The Ghostlord regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
Cantrip. The Ghostlord casts a cantrip.
Paralyzing Touch (Costs 2 Actions). The Ghostlord uses his Paralyzing Touch.
Frightening Gaze (Costs 2 Actions). The Ghostlord fixes his gaze on one creature he can see within 10 feet of him. The target must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or become 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 the Ghostlord's gaze for the next 24 hours.
Disrupt Life (Costs 3 Actions). Each living creature within 20 feet of the Ghostlord must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw against this magic, taking 3d6 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
