Phane
T
he phane is a tormented being lost to the
thinnest, most remote and alien regions of
time imaginable. They are thought to be the
ghosts of mortals who were lost to the dangers
of chronomancy, time travel, or something
similar.
Phanes tend to remain deep in the furthest reaches of the
past or the future, rarely escaping their temporal isolation to
return to the present era. When a phane manages to do so,
however, they invariably sow chaos and destruction
everywhere they go, leeching the very essense of existence
from those they assault.
No two phanes look the same, but all are incorporeal and
shadowy beasts of strikingly alien build. Some resemble
strange centaur-like beings made of oily black smoke, while
others bear resemblance to nothing known amid the planes.

other creatures and objects as if they were difficult
terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its
turn inside an object.
Innate Spellcasting. The phane’s spellcasting ability is
Charisma (spell save DC 22, +14 to hit with spell

spells, requiring no material components:
  At will: dimension door, ray of frost (17th level)
  3/day each: haste, improved invisibility

Legendary Resistance (3/day). When the phane fails a
saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Regional Effects
The phane warps time and space for miles around when it
arrives in the present era, creating one or more of the
following magical effects:
Any time stop spell cast within 1 mile of the phane's
arrival point also includes the phane as a target.
For every 24 hours a beast or humanoid spends within 6
miles of the phane's arrival point must succeed on a DC
10 Constitution saving throw or be magically aged 1d4
years.
The foresight spell does not function within 6 miles of the
phane's arrival point.
If the phane is slain, the time stop effect ends immediately.
The aging and foresight efects remain until a wish spell is
used to remove them.
Regeneration. The phane regains 20 hit points at the
start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point. If the phane
takes damage from a weapon forged in the future or an
alternate timeline, this trait doesn’t function at the start
of the phane’s next turn. The phane dies only if it starts
its turn with 0 hit points and doesn’t regenerate.
Stasis Field. Creatures who start their turn within 30
feet of the phane must make a DC 22 Wisdom saving
throw. On a successful save, the creature suffers the
effects of a slow spell until the beginning of its next
turn. If the save fails, the creature is frozen in time,
incapacitated until the beginning of its next turn.
Actions
Multiattack. The phane makes two stasis touch attacks.
Stasis Touch. Melee Weapon Attack. +14 to hit, reach 5
ft., one creature. Hit: 20 (4d6+6) slashing damage and
the target must succeed on a DC 22 Wisdom saving
throw. A creature that fails its save against this ability is
stunned, and can repeat the saving throw at the end of
each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
Reactions
Warp Time. If the phane is reduced to 0 hit points, it
can wrench time backward for a brief moment and be
reduced to 1 hit point instead.
Legendary Actions
The phane can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from
the options below. Only one legendary action can be
used at a time and only at the end of another creature's
turn. The phane regains spent legendary actions at the
start of its turn.
Borrowed Time. The phane makes a Stasis Touch attack,
casts the ray of frost cantrip, or uses the Dash,
Disengage, or Dodge action after a creature stunned by
its stasis touch ability fails its saving throw to end the
effect at the end of its turn, and that creature
immediately ages 1d6 years.
