Okay so I've got an idea for what will originally be a boss but will eventually become sub bosses in true computer game style.
Anyway I'm sure this idea has been done before but I was thinking I could try it or post it here and see how the playground can help me.
So I would like a two part monster
Part 1: the body which will die early ish on
Part 2: a head with 7 masks on it that can rotate round so that each one can face forwards
I was planning to have the masks each be a colour of the prismatic spells and each have a similar effect but probably variable so that I don't insta kill the PC's if they fail a save
I want to make the masks look like 'drama' masks you know the comedy/tragedy ones, wg if the mask casts charm then the face might be winning.
So what I'm looking for basically is what should I stat the body as and then how should I stat the head? And what spells seem fair to be casting from it?
I think its effectively a main body with a beholder stalks that can only use one each round. Apart from the stalks can separate when the main body dies.
The ideal CR for this would be 11+
