GYOUBU MASATAKA ONIWA

Played this today, turning into a dragon was key. Without it, the fight would have been shorter and not as interesting. The total hit point was 300 for the shogun/dragon, once the dragon was killed the shogun reset to 150 hps effectively making for a 3 phase fight. Worked well. Thanks for the ideas ENWORLD! The dragon-spirit also possessed the kensei in my party so he lives on to annoy his killed :). Used intros from Sekiro Japanese/English:

Magic Resistance. The swine shogun has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Dazzling Display. As a bonus action, the swine shogun can perform a bewildering show of prowess as a bonus action. The swine shogun rolls and intimidate check, all creatures who see him within 50 feet must make a Wisdom saving throw to resist becoming demoralized and having a bane on their attack rolls until the end of their next turn.

Mounted Combatant. The swine shogun has the following benefits while mounted:

• Advantage on attacks against unmounted foes that are smaller than Ha Jau.
• Force an attack targeted at Ha Jau to target the swine shogun instead.
• If Ha Jau is subjected to an effect that allows him to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, he instead takes no damage if he succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if he fails.
• Ha Jau may use his trampling charge attack as part of the swine shogun’s action (see rabid charge).

ACTIONS

Multiattack. The swine shogun makes three thundering spear-lance attacks.

+1 Thundering Spear-Lance. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (1d10 + 6) piercing damage, plus 18 (4d8) thunder damage and the target is knocked  prone and uses all its movement to get back up.

Rabid Charge! The swine shogun charges an opponent and does a thundering spear-lance attack and Ha Jau does his charge attack against the same or adjacent target. This attack does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Spear On Rope Spin (1/Day). The swine shogun spins his spear in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on him, each creature within reach must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 35 (10d6) slashing damage and 35 (10d6) thunder damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

REACTIONS

• Parry. The swine shogun adds 6 to his AC against one melee attack that would hit him. To do so, the swine shogun must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.
• Jingasa of the Fortunate Soldier (1/Round). As a reaction, the swine shogun can negate a single sneak attack or critical hit.
• Potion of Cure Serious Wounds (1/Day). When reduced to 30 hit points or less the swine shogun drinks his potion and heals 37 (6d8 +10) hit points of damage.

LEGENDARY ACTIONS

• Attack. The swine shogun makes an attack.
• Move. The swine shogun moves up to his speed and does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
• Horse Kick. Ha Jau uses his tusks or stomp attack against a creature within reach. He may move to make the tusk attack.

DESCRIPTION

This hunchbacked, fiery-skinned humanoid female possesses black eyes beneath the bony ridges of its brow, wears elaborate heavy armor, and wields an ornate metal club. Her arms are longer than they should be giving a gangly impression.
