Actions

Multiattack. Archie makes two attacks with his Bloodaxe. When he does, he can choose to apply either of the following effects:

• Reckless Attack. When Archie makes his first attack on his turn, he can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives him advantage on the melee weapon attack, but attack rolls against you have advantage until his next turn.
• Great Weapon Master. Before making a melee attack with a heavy weapon, Archie can choose to take a -5 penalty to the attack roll. If the attack hits, he adds +10 to the attack’s damage.

Additionally, on his turn, when he score a critical hit with a melee weapon or reduce a creature to 0 hit points with one, Archie can make one attack with his Bloodaxe as a bonus action.
Bloodaxe. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1D12+7 slashing damage, plus 1D6 necrotic damage if the target wasn't a construct or undead, plus +3 slashing damage if raging. If the target is a creature and Archie rolls a 20 on the D20 for the attack roll, the target takes an additional 1D12 slashing damage. If he reduces a non-construct or non-undead a creature to 0 hit point, he gains 10 temporary hit points.
Fire Breath (Recharge 5–6). Archie exhales fire in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 7D6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Magic Awareness (4/Day). Archie open his awareness to the presence of concentrated magic. Until the end of your next turn, her knows the location of any spell or magic item within 60 feet of him that isn’t behind total cover. When he senses a spell, he learns which school of magic it belongs to.
Bolstering Magic (4/Day). Archie touches one creature (which can be himself) and confers one of the following benefits of your choice to that creature:

• For 10 minutes, the creature can roll a D3 whenever making an attack roll or an ability check and add the number rolled to the D20 roll.
• Roll a D3. The creature regains one expended spell slot, the level of which equals the number rolled or lower (the creature’s choice). Once a creature receives this benefit, that creature can’t receive it again until after a long rest.

Bonus Actions

3. An intangible spirit, which looks like a red dragon, appears within 5 feet of one creature of Archie's choice that he can see within 30 feet of him. At the end of the current turn, the spirit explodes, and each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or take 1D6 force damage. Until your rage ends, Archie can use this effect again, summoning another spirit, on each of his turns as a bonus action.
4. Magic infuses Archie's Bloodaxe. Until his rage ends, the weapon's damage type changes to force, and it gains the light and thrown properties, with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. If the weapon leaves Archie's hand, the weapon reappears in his hand at the end of the current turn.
5. Whenever a creature hits Archie with an attack roll before his rage ends, that creature takes 1D6 force damage, as magic lashes out in retribution.

7. Blackened roots and vines temporarily grow around Archie; until his rage ends, the ground within 15 feet of Archie is difficult terrain for his enemies.
8. A bolt of light shoots from Archie's mouth. Another creature of his choice that he can see within 30 feet of him must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or take 1D6 radiant damage and be blinded until the start of his next turn.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Archie was once a yuan-ti malison warrior from Okarthel in The Ophidian Rainforest. He was known for his fearlessness and desire for power amongst his commrades. One day, he famously killed the leader of the city and lead a campaign to conquor the other yusn-ti cities of Tilsin-Vhira and Suturi, where he did the same, uniting them all under his rule.

In the year that followed, Archie heard that Queen Ixenvor, the ruler of The Darastrix Dominion, had sent out a call to retrieve and orb of dragonkind for her, promising riches to the race who could provide it to her. He was the lone yuan-ti to survive the journey across The Endless Sands, where he teams up with the goblin Torok, the orc Ogog and the minotaur Mork to find the orb. In the end, he successfully deliever the orb to Ixenvor, killing Mork in the process and secured wealth for his people.
As a reward for his action, Arch was transformed in a red half-dragon and given command of The Red Scales, Ixenvor's army. He lead the army for two years, during which time he collect tithe from across the dominion to aid Ixenvor in ascending to great wyrm status. On the day of the ritual however, Ixenvor was killed and the volcano above his barrack in Thrinzilk errupted. Archie does not know the true cause of Ixenvor's death, assuming the ritual failed and cause the erruption, however he along with most of The Red Scales were able to survive the eruption.
Now queenless, and in a land with no ruler, Archie turns his vision (and his army) to the future and what it might bring him.
