Lair Actions

On Initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Graz'zt can take a lair action to cause one of the following effects: he can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• Graz'zt casts the command spell on every creature of his choice in the lair. He needn't see each one, but he must be aware that an individual is in the lair to target that creature. He issues the same command to all the targets.
• Smooth surfaces within the lair become as reflective as a polished mirror. Until a different lair action is used, creatures within the lair have disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide.

Graz'zt's mere presence in a plane other than his own bends it to his shape. His lair is the fane of this change, often it is where he was summoned or where he stays for extended time, his energies pooling around him.

Regional Effects

The region containing Graz'zt's lair is warped by his magic, creating one or more of the following effects:

• Flat surfaces within 1 mile of the lair that are made of stone or metal become highly reflective, as though polished to a shine. These surfaces become supernaturally mirrorlike.
• Wild beasts within 6 miles of the lair break into frequent conflicts and coupling, mirroring the behaviour that occurs during their mating seasons.
• If a humanoid spends at least 1 hour within 1 mile of the lair, that creature must succeed on a DC 23 Wisdom saving throw or descend into a madness determined by the Madness of Graz'zt table. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw can't be affected by this regional effect again for 24 hours.
