Skills

Actions

• Multiattack. The rakshasa makes four Claw or Arcane Bolt attacks. It can replace one attack with a use of Spellcasting. If two Claw attacks hit one creature, the target is cursed. While cursed, the target gains no benefit from finishing a short or long rest. The curse lasts until removed by the remove curse spell or similar magic.
• Claw. _Melee Weapon Attack:_ +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. _Hit:_ 12 (2d8+3) slashing damage plus 10 (3d6) force damage.
• Arcane Bolt. _Ranged Spell Attack:_ +10 to hit, range 60 ft., one target. _Hit:_ 22 (5d6+5) force damage.
• Travel the Planes (1/Day). The rakshasa magically transports itself to a different plane of existence. This works like the plane shift spell, except the rakshasa can affect only itself and can't use this action to banish an unwilling creature.
• Spellcasting. The rakshasa casts one of the following spells, requiring no material components and using CHA as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 18).<br>At will: _detect thoughts_, _mage hand_, _minor illusion_<br>3/day each: _major image_, _suggestion_<br>1/day: _dominate_
