The oth, including its equipment, can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
Multiple Roles.

Choose either the Dripping Arcanist or Paladin of Shoth trait.

  • Dripping Arcanist. The oth’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell casting DC 15, +7 to hit with spell attacks). It may cast the following spells innately, requiring only verbal components: _

Cantrip (at will): fire bolt (2d10), light, thaumaturgy _

3/day each: command, mage armor, magic missile _

2/day each: augury, detect thoughts _

1/day: fireball

  • Paladin of Shoth. The oth derives its power from Shoth itself, its zom shining with sacred light. Its Armor Class increases by 2. A non-shoth creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of the oth must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or be blinded by the light of Shoth until the end of its turn.

The oth sprays acid in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in the area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 (5d8) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
