The jiangshi can\xe2\x80\x99t use its  blindsight  while deafened. \n'b'  Keen Hearing . The jiangshi has advantage on  Wisdom  ( Perception ) checks that rely on hearing. \n'b'  Prayer of Magic Resistance . The jiangshi has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. A creature can take its action while within 5 feet of the jiangshi to rip the prayer off the jiangshi by succeeding on a DC 16  Strength  check. The jiangshi loses this trait if its prayer scroll is removed. \n'b'  Standing Leap . The jiangshi\xe2\x80\x99s long jump is up to 30 feet and its high jump is up to 15 feet, with or without a running start. \n'b'  Terrifying Appearance . When a creature that can see the jiangshi starts its turn within 30 feet of the jiangshi, it must make a DC 14  Wisdom  saving throw, unless the jiangshi is incapacitated. On a failed save, the creature is  frightened  for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature\xe2\x80\x99s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the jiangshi\xe2\x80\x99s Terrifying Appearance for the next 24 hours. \n'b'  Undead Nature . The jiangshi doesn\xe2\x80\x99t require air or sleep. \n'b'  Actions \n'b'   Multiattack . The jiangshi makes two claw attacks. It can use Life Drain in place of one claw  attack . \n'b'  Claw .  Melee Weapon Attack : +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.  Hit : 12 (2d8 + 3) slashing damage. The target is  grappled  (escape DC 14) if it is a Medium or smaller creature and the jiangshi doesn\xe2\x80\x99t have two other creatures  grappled . \n'b'  Life Drain .  Melee Weapon Attack : +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature that is  grappled  by the jiangshi, incapacitated, or  restrained .  Hit : 14 (4d6) necrotic damage. The target must succeed on a DC 14  Constitution  saving throw or its  hp  maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a  long rest . The target dies if this effect reduces its  hp  maximum to 0. A humanoid slain in this way rises 24 hours later as a jiangshi, unless the humanoid is restored to life, its body is bathed in vinegar before burial, or its body is destroyed. \n'b'\n'b' About \n'b' Its sickly-green, glowing skin covered in tattered robes, the undead creature lurches forward with a stiff, hopping motion, and baring claw-like hands. A thin strip of paper covered in tiny writing hangs from its hat. \n'b'  Inauspicious Burials . A jiangshi is created when burial rites are carried out improperly. Unable to leave the body, the tortured soul re-animates the corpse after rigor mortis has set in, giving the jiangshi its rigid posture and nickname as a \xe2\x80\x9chopping vampire.\xe2\x80\x9d A jiangshi has a burial prayer written on a small scroll stitched to its forehead or hat, warding it against magic. \n'b'  Bizarre Gaits . Stiff-limbed and hunched, jiangshi move around by hopping, rather than walking, in search of living prey.\xc2\xa0It can make enormous leaps to catch a foe, and, when it grabs hold of a victim, it sucks out the creature\xe2\x80\x99s breath. Jiangshi are blind, detecting living victims by listening for the sounds of breathing. It is possible to remain undetected by a jiangshi by holding one\xe2\x80\x99s breath and keeping very still.'
