The disjoined deryth\xe2\x80\x99s innate spellcasting ability is  Charisma  (spell save DC 11). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:\n'b'\n'b'   At will : friendship \n'b'  1/day :  sleep  \n'b'\n'b'  Magic Resistance . The disjoined deryth has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. \n'b'  Merge Form . Using its Meld attack, a disjoined deryth can merge with a Medium humanoid, disappearing entirely into the host creature\xe2\x80\x99s body. Once merged, the disjoined can be removed only by means of a  wish  spell or similar magic, or with a  dispel evil and good  or a  greater restoration  cast upon the host. Each successive disjoined that melds with the same host grants certain abilities, but also causes the creature to suffer a negative effect, as shown below. \n'b'  Actions \n'b'   Attach .  Melee Weapon Attack : +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.  Hit : 3 (1d4 + 1) psychic damage, and the disjoined deryth attaches to the target. While attached to the target, the disjoined deryth can  attack  no other creature except the target, but it has advantage on its attack rolls. The disjoined deryth\xe2\x80\x99s speed also becomes 0, it can\xe2\x80\x99t benefit from any bonus to its speed, and it moves with the target. A creature can detach the disjoined deryth by making a successful DC 13  Strength  check as an action. On its turn, the disjoined deryth can detach itself from the target by using 5 feet of movement. \n'b'  Meld .  Melee Weapon Attack : +3 to hit, reach 0 ft., one Medium humanoid to which the disjoined deryth is attached.  Hit : 3 (1d4 + 1) psychic damage, and the target must make a DC 8  Intelligence  saving throw. On a failed save the disjoined deryth merges completely with the target (see Merge Form.) A creature can choose to fail this save intentionally. Any host who has merged with five separate disjoined deryth transforms completely into a deryth, most likely resulting in a player character becoming an NPC. The disjoined deryth can be reunited through their ability to meld with other living creatures, and naturally, they feel an overwhelming need to be made whole. Unfortunately, they can accomplish union only by bonding with a sapient life form, and many a host has regretted his decision as more and more disjoined deryth bits meld with his body, until his own identity is lost and he becomes little more than a helpless host. The disjoined deryth appear as small amorphous blobs of varying colors. Each has four small sensory organs located equidistant around its body. \n'b'     Number of Disjoined Deryth Merged \n'b' Host Benefit \n'b' Host Drawback \n'b'     1 \n'b' +1 bonus to Armor Class \n'b' -2 penalty to  Intelligence  \n'b'   2 \n'b' Can\xe2\x80\x99t be incapacitated or stunned \n'b' -2 penalty to  Wisdom  \n'b'   3 \n'b' +2 bonus to  Constitution , to a maximum of 18 \n'b' -2 penalty to  Charisma  \n'b'   4 \n'b' Gain deryth\xe2\x80\x99s Body Spikes and Magic Resistance traits \n'b' 25 percent chance each round of being incapacitated for the round (ignores natural immunity) \n'b'    Tactics \n'b' A disjoined deryth will make an offer to any humanoid that it finds \xe2\x80\x93 \xe2\x80\x98allow me to join you, and you will become more powerful!\xe2\x80\x99 \n'b' Those that take them up on the offer soon discover that not only is there a consequence to the joining, but it is also nearly impossible to undo it. If the creature attacks the disjoined deryth it might try to flee, but it is more likely to attach itself to the creature and try to forcibly meld with it.'
