Actions

Multiattack.The living portent makes two Radiant Strike attacks.

Radiant Strike.ms,rs 5 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 120 ft., one target. ({@damage 1d12 + 3) radiant damage.

Prophetic Blessing.The living portent magically infuses the power of its prophecy into another willing creature the living portent can see within 30 feet of itself. The target's hit point maximum and current hit points increase by 7 (1d8 + 3), and it gains a prophecy die, a d8. Once during each of the creature's turns, when it fails an ability check or saving throw or misses an attack roll, it can roll the prophecy die and add the number rolled to the total, potentially changing the outcome. The blessing ends after 1 hour or when the living portent ends the blessing (no action required) or uses this action again.

Reactions.Reactions the creature can take:

Price of Defiance.When the living portent is damaged by a creature that it can see within 120 feet of itself, radiant power sears the creature. The creature must make a 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Living Portent

Living portents are embodiments of prophecy sent by deities or other cosmic forces. These Celestials descend to Material Plane worlds in the form of falling stars. When the living portents impact the earth, they carve great craters, yet miraculously, none who live in the impact zone are harmed. These beings of light then assume Humanoid forms to blend in with the inhabitants of the world.

Living portents seek out beings who will play a part in the prophecies they serve, and as the living portents search, they relate fragments of the prophecies to those they encounter.
