Spells and Abilities

Common

Notable or Unique

During a specific encounter[1], Gortash does not "use" these abilities himself, but entities in the location will apply the following statuses to him under the right conditions:

  • Shell of Resistance - Thunder Immunity, +1 Bonus Action, "Extra Movement Speed"
  • Reflectoguard Active

Invoke the Black Hand

The Closed Fist of Bane

  • Gortash summons 1 additional "Bane's Fist" entity, which is added to the end of the turn order.

Empowered Unarmed Strike

  • Available to Gortash as a melee attack for as long as Avatar of Tyranny is active.
  • If available, Gortash uses this as an opportunity attack against targets moving out of melee range.

Summoned Entities

  • Manifestation of Tyranny - Gortash summons a fixed number of these creatures into specific places in the room. These have no place in the initiative order but each one applies 1 stack of the aura condition Bane's Brutality to Gortash and/or nearby Black Gauntlet characters, as long as they are standing within a short distance.
  • Bane's Fist - Inserted into the end of the turn order. At the end of each of its turns, Bane's Fist punches the ground around it for a lot of damage.

Get Gortash's Netherstone - Wyrm's Rock Fortress (Office)
