I am starting to code in a series of big nasties, Lolth was my first one. I did look around the net and saw some Lolths out there but I thought they were a bit over the top. So using some of the big nasties from the Tome of foes as a template. I created a Lolth that I think is more than fair for taking on a demon goddess. Complete with legendary and lair actions which make way more sense than what I was seeing.
Lolth Demon Queen of Spiders Drow form Large fiend, chaotic evil Armor Class 18 (natural armor) Hit Points 620 (40d20+200) Speed 30 ft., climb 30 ft.

Lolth cannot be affected or detected by spells of 6th level or lower unless it wishes to be. She has advantage on saving throws against all other spells and magical effects. Magic Weapons. All of Lolth's weapons and attacks are considered magical Regeneration. Lolth regains 20 hit points at the start of her turn. If she takes radiant damage, this trait doesnt function at the start of Lolths next turn. Web Sense. Lolth knows the exact location of any other creature in contact with the Demonweb. Web Walker. Lolth ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing. Actions Multiattack. In Gargantuan Spider form the Queen of Spiders has 4 leg attacks and one bite attack. Huge Female Drider form Lolth attacks three times with her longsword and once with her shortsword. Large Female Drow form Lolth attacks three times with her Rapier and once with her Dagger. Dagger. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d4+10) damage. The target must make a DC 25 Constitution saving throw, taking 21 (6d8) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Melee Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d8+6) piercing damage. The target must make a DC 25 Constitution saving throw, taking 21 (6d8) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Web (Recharge 3-6). Ranged Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, range 60 ft./120 ft., one target. Hit: The target is restrained by webbing.

Legendary Actions The creature can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The creature regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn. Cast Spell. Lolth Casts a spell Melee Attack.

Lolth summons 2d4 yochlol demons, which each appear in unoccupied spaces within 60 feet of Lolth, act as her allies, and can't summon other demons. A yochlol disappears when it is reduced to 0 hit points, or when Lolth uses her Dismiss Demons action. When Lolth uses this legendary action, she can't use it again until all yochols summoned by her have disappeared. Lolth's Lair Actions. When fighting inside her lair, Lolth can invoke the ambient magic to take lair actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Lolth can take one lair action to cause one of the following effects: Lair Actions A Tangled Web (1 charges). Lolth chooses 3 targets within her lair the floor beneath them becomes webbing. The target can make a DC 27 Dexterity check to avoid becoming tanlgled on a failed save the target is restrained by webbing.

All creatures in Lolths lair other than a spider, drow, drider, or Yochlol, that starts its turn within Lolths lair must succeed on a DC 27 Wisdom check or become frightened of spiders.

Lolth cannot repeat an effect until all three have been used, and it can't use the same effect on consecutive rounds. Spawn Spider Swarm (1 charges). From the crevices and nooks within Lolth's lair countless spiders stream together to form a 10,000 spider swarm.

In the melee and ranged attacks, you can look at the lycanthropes (werewolf, etc.) and see how the melee attacks are typed in, i.e.
Bite (Giant Spider form only): .... If you want to condense things down, you might want to add a Shapechange ability that details the forms she can take and whether shifting is an action, bonus action or legendary action. That way everything you might need to script sits in one Racial Special rather than spread out. If you have the community files, you can look at some of the critters that modify AC on an activated ability you can probably get a script that works to modify the base AC modifier based on the form chosen. |
