Traits

Brave.

The headless body has advantage on saving throws against being frightened.

Actions

Multiattack.

The headless body makes two melee attacks.

Greatsword.

Melee Attack Roll: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) slashing damage.

Heavy Crossbow.

Ranged Attack Roll: +2 to hit, range 100/400 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d10) piercing damage.

Leadership (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest).

For 1 minute, the headless body can utter a special command or warning whenever a nonhostile creature that it can see within 30 feet of it makes an attack roll or a saving throw. The creature can add a d4 to its roll provided it can hear and understand the headless body. A creature can benefit from only one Leadership die at a time. This effect ends if the headless body is incapacitated.

Reactions

Parry.

The headless body adds 2 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, the headless body must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.
