Moonlight Slam.mw 7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. ({@damage 1d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage plus 4 (1d8) radiant damage.

Moonlight Blast 5.The guardian unleashes a magical blast of moonlight in a line 60 feet long and 5 feet wide. Each creature in that area must make a 14 Dexterity saving throw. Creatures that aren't in their true form have disadvantage on the save. On a failed save, a creature takes 22 (5d8) radiant damage, and if it isn't in its true form, it is forced into its true form and can't change forms until the end of the guardian's next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage only.

Moonlight Guardian

Thought it was a person at first, but then I saw its head. Next, its arm. I knew I had to run.

Moonlight guardians are gleaming bipedal statues made of silver and mithral. They were originally created by a desperate mage on Krynn who drew the Moon card from a Deck of Many Things. The mage wished for a retinue of bodyguards ideally suited to fighting lycanthropes and other shapeshifting creatures. In response, the Moon card spawned the first moonlight guardian.

A moonlight guardian's body is infused with magical moonlight that the creature can channel into its blows. It can also unleash searing blasts of lunar energy that can expose shapeshifters by forcing them into their true forms.
