Traits

• Greater Magic Resistance. The rakshasa automatically succeeds on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Additionally, spell attack rolls automatically miss it. No spell can observe the rakshasa remotely or detect its thoughts, creature type, or alignment without its permission.
• Fiendish Restoration. If the rakshasa dies outside the Nine Hells, its body turns to ichor, and it immediately revives in the Nine Hells with all hit points restored.

Actions

• Multiattack. The rakshasa makes three Cursed Touch attacks.
• Cursed Touch. Melee Attack Roll: +10, reach 5 ft.
  Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) Slashing damage plus 19 (3d12) Necrotic damage. The target is cursed. While cursed, it gains no benefit from finishing a Short or Long Rest.
• Baleful Command (Recharge 5–6). Wisdom Saving Throw: DC 18, each enemy in a 30-foot emanation from the rakshasa.
  Failure: 28 (8d6) Psychic damage, and the target is Frightened and Incapacitated until the start of the rakshasa’s next turn.
