THE SHADE, TECHNIC LEAGUE CAPTAIN

The Shade tried and failed to charm The Baron and a fight broke out.  The characters took the Shade by surprise and she only lasted 1 round.  To be honest I should have maximised her hit points.  Her bodyguards surrendered and the characters freed them.  Just a note on the gear listed.  This is straight from the original module and is too much magical kit for 5e.  I ended up adjudicating it on the fly and usually only letting the characters gain the tech items.  The gear list was purely for my reference.  Coin and tech I left as the module indicated.

Arcane Strike. The Shade can enhance the damage and to-hit bonus of her chosen weapon by +2 (included).

Nanite Infused. The Shade’s exposure to specialized nanites has granted her the following benefits: +6 natural armor bonus, +6 Dex, +6 Con, regeneration 10, and darkvision 120 ft.

ACTIONS          
Multiattack. The Shade makes two monowhip attacks. She may also trigger a Dance of a Hundred Cuts when available.

Monowhip. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target.
Hit: 13 (2d6 + 7) slashing damage and threatens a critical on a 18+ and does triple damage. It also ignores armour values and damage thresholds as well as resolving attack rolls only against dexterity (i.e. touch attack).

Fade. As a bonus action The Shade vanishes from view essentially becoming invisible as the spell.

Dance of a Hundred Cuts (Natural 16+). Moving like liquid between foes at dazzling speed The Shade strikes all opponents she can reach so long as she moves at least 5 feet before attacking. If she then ends her turn at least 20 feet from the nearest foe she may use fade as a bonus action.

REACTIONS  
Melee Agility. The Shade dances out of the way of a hit. The Shade may add two to her AC if that would cause the attack to miss.

Second Wind (1 per Long Rest). The first time The Shade is bloodied (<80 hit points) The Shade regains 54 hit points.

Getaway! (1 per Long Rest). When reduced to 20 hit points The Shade teleports up to 500 feet away and flees.
