of its turns. If the target’s hit point maximum drops to 0
as a result of this disease, the target dies. If this
disease is magically cured, the creature is immune to
being diseased by the horseman (though not to the
necrotic damage) for the next 24 hours.
Reactions
Uncanny Dodge. When an attacker that the horseman
can see hits it with an attack, the horseman can use its
reaction to halve the attack’s damage against it.
Legendary Actions
The horseman 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 horseman regains spent
legendary actions at the start of its turn.
Attack. The horseman makes one melee attack.
Harry (Costs 2 Actions). If the horseman is mounted,
rider and mount move half the horse’s fly speed
without provoking opportunity attacks. After moving,
the horseman may make one greatbow attack with
advantage.
Spread Plague (Costs 3 Actions). The horseman
exudes plague. Each creature the horseman chooses
within 30 feet of its space must succeed on a DC 21
Constitution saving throw or become diseased with
plague. Until the disease is cured, the target can’t
regain hit points by any means, and the target’s hit
point maximum decreases by 4 (1d8) at the end of
each of its turns. If the target’s hit point maximum
drops to 0 as a result of this disease, the target dies.
If this disease is magically cured, the creature is
immune to being diseased by the horseman for the
next 24 hours.

Eternal Essence. The apocalypse horseman’s hit point
maximum equals the maximum total of its Hit Dice +
Constitution bonus, not the Average HP per Die. When
the horseman’s body dies, it fades back to Hades.
Apocalypse Weapons. The horseman’s weapon
attacks are magical. When the horseman hits with any
weapon, the weapon deals an extra 4d8 necrotic
damage (included in the attack).
Aura of Dread. Each creature within 120 feet of the
horseman that can see it is gripped with dread. At the
start of its turn, the creature must make a DC 20
Wisdom saving throw or be paralyzed by fear.
Creatures immune to being frightened are immune to
this effect. At the start of each of the creature’s turns, it
may repeat the saving throw, ending the paralyzed
condition on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving
throw is successful, the creature is immune to the
horseman’s Aura of Dread for the next 24 hours.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the horseman fails a
saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Regeneration. The horseman regains 30 hit points at
the start of its turn. If the horseman takes radiant
damage, this trait doesn’t function at the start of the
horseman’s next turn. The horseman’s body is
destroyed only if it starts its turn with 0 hit points and
doesn’t regenerate.
Actions

scythe.
Scythe. Melee Weapon Attack: +18 to hit, reach 10 ft.,
one target. Hit: 15 (1d12 + 9) slashing damage plus 18

Finger of Death (Recharges 4-6). The horseman
innately casts finger of death, with Charisma as its
spellcasting ability. One creature the horseman can see
within 60 feet must make a DC 22 Constitution saving
throw. It takes 61 (7d8 + 30) necrotic damage on a
failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
A humanoid killed by this spell rises at the start of the
horseman’s next turn as a zombie permanently under
the horseman’s command, following its verbal orders to
the best of its ability.
Reactions
Parry. The horseman adds 9 to its AC against one
melee attack that would hit it. To do so, the horseman
must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.
Shield. The horseman innately casts shield. No spell
slot is required or used in casting this spell.
Uncanny Dodge. When an attacker that the horseman
can see hits it with an attack, the horseman can use its
reaction to halve the attack’s damage against it.
Legendary Actions
The horseman 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 horseman regains spent
legendary actions at the start of its turn.
Attack. The horseman makes one scythe attack.
Charge (Costs 2 Actions). If the horseman is
mounted, rider and mount move half the horse’s
speed on the ground without provoking opportunity
attacks. After moving, the horseman may make one
scythe attack with advantage.
Reap Souls (Costs 3 Actions). The horseman
unleashes a wave of death-dealing energy. Each
creature the horseman chooses in a 30-foot cone
must make a DC 22 Dexterity saving throw, taking 33
(6d10) necrotic energy on a failed saving throw, or
half as much on a successful one. The creature’s hit
point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to half
the damage taken. This reduction lasts until the
target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect
reduces its hit point maximum to 0, and its soul is
sent to languish in Hades.
