A creature grappling the scheznyki can take its action to cut off the scheznyki\xe2\x80\x99s beard by succeeding on a DC 15  Strength  check while holding an edged weapon. If its beard is cut off, the scheznyki can\xe2\x80\x99t use Spellcasting until its beard regrows. \n'b'  Brute . A melee weapon deals one extra die of its damage when the scheznyki hits with it (included in the  attack ). \n'b'  Magic Resistance . The scheznyki has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. \n'b'\n'b' ACTIONS \n'b'\n'b'  Multiattack . The scheznyki makes three War Pick or Arcane Bolt attacks. It can replace one  attack  with a use of Spellcasting. \n'b'  War Pick .  Melee Weapon Attack : +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.  Hit : 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage. \n'b'  Arcane Bolt .  Ranged Spell Attack : +6 to hit, range 60 ft., one target.  Hit : 13 (3d6 + 3) force damage. \n'b'  Invisibility . The scheznyki magically turns  invisible  until it attacks or casts a spell, or until its concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell). Any equipment it wears or carries is  invisible  with it. \n'b'  Spellcasting . The scheznyki casts one of the following spells, requiring no material components and using Charisma as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 14):\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'  At will :  dancing lights ,  faerie fire  \n'b'  3/day each :  locate object ,  hideous laughter ,  ray of enfeeblement  \n'b'  1/day each :  dispel magic ,  hold person  \n'b'\n'b' ABOUT \n'b' The small, dwarf-like creature is bootless with broken, dirty toenails and wearing rough burlap and a leather tam hat. It brandishes a pick as it grins maliciously. \n'b'  Corrupted Dwarves . These small, vicious, dwarf-like fey haunt abandoned quarries and ancient ruins, killing and robbing unsuspecting visitors. Legend says the scheznykis are lazy dwarves corrupted by the fey, though others claim that these are dwarves who swore allegiance to fey lords and ladies long ago. \n'b'  Magical Hats . Scheznykis prize their tam hats and viciously hunt down any who steal their hats. When a scheznyki dies or if its hat is separated from it for more than 24 hours, some of the scheznyki\xe2\x80\x99s magic imbues the hat (see below). \n'b' Vanisher Hat \n'b'  Wondrous item ,  uncommon  (requires attunement) \n'b' When a scheznyki dies or 24 hours after its hat is stolen, its hat is imbued with the scheznyki\xe2\x80\x99s magic and becomes a vanisher hat. \n'b' This plain hat appears to be a rough burlap tam. A creature that can see through illusions sees the hat as a golden, bejeweled coronet. While wearing this hat, you can use an action to speak its command word to become  invisible  and gain a flying speed of 40 feet for up to 1 minute. Anything you are wearing or carrying is  invisible  with you. You remain  invisible  and capable of flying until you repeat the command word as an action or until you  attack  or  cast a spell . Once used, the hat can\xe2\x80\x99t be used again until the next dawn. \n'b'  Arcane Beards . The majority of a scheznyki\xe2\x80\x99s magic is tied to its beard, and its beard hair is a valuable component for creating exotic inks. If the majority of its beard is cut off, the scheznyki can\xe2\x80\x99t cast spells until its beard regrows. If the scheznyki loses its hat and beard within the same 24-hour period, it falls into a deep, wasting coma and dies in 24 hours, crumbling to dust. If its beard is magically mended or regrown, or its hat restored to its head before this happens, the scheznyki recovers immediately.'
