Inventor’s Inspiration. Dvalinn has an exceptional talent for invention and craftsmanship. Whenever he spends at least 1 hour working with a set of artisan’s tools, he can create a non-magical item of his choice that is worth up to 500 gp in materials. Dvalinn can also use this ability to craft magical items, but the process takes much longer and requires rare materials and components.

Actions

Multiattack. He makes two attacks with his warhammer.

• Warhammer. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (1d8 + 7) bludgeoning damage.
• Throwing Hammer. Ranged Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (1d6 + 7) bludgeoning damage.
• Breath of Fire. Once per day, Dvalinn can unleash a powerful burst of flame in a 20-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 45 (10d8) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Legendary Actions

Dvalinn can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. Dvalinn regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn.

• Forge Strike. Dvalinn makes one Warhammer attack.
• Metalcraft. Dvalinn can use his Inventor’s Inspiration ability to create a non-magical item of his choice that is worth up to 100 gp in materials.
• Smokescreen. Dvalinn creates a cloud of thick smoke that fills a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point within 60 feet of him. The smoke lasts for 1 minute or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it. The area is heavily obscured, making it difficult for creatures inside to see or be seen.

Equipment

• Half plate armor
• Shield
• Warhammer
• 4 throwing hammers
• Artisan’s tools (smithing, woodworking, masonry)
• Several non-magical creations worth up to 500 gp in materials
• Bag of holding (contains various rare and exotic materials and components for crafting)

Magic Items

Hammer of Thunderbolts:

• This warhammer functions as a + warhammer, but when Dvalinn wields it with both hands, he gains a +4 bonus to attack and damage rolls instead of the normal +2. In addition, the hammer has 20 charges for the following properties. The hammer regains 1d8 + 2 expended charges daily at dawn.

• Lightning Strike: Dvalinn can expend 1 charge to cast the Thunderwave spell (save DC 17) from the hammer. The spell uses his Intelligence as the spellcasting ability.
• Thunderous Smite: Dvalinn can expend 1 charge to cast the Thunderous Smite spell on himself. The spell lasts for 1 minute and uses his Intelligence as the spellcasting ability.
• Thunderbolt Summoning: Dvalinn can expend 5 charges to summon a lightning bolt that strikes a point he can see within 500 feet of him. Each creature within 10 feet of that point must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 (4d10) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Lair Actions

Dvalinn’s lair is a vast underground workshop filled with all manner of tools, machines, and inventions. While in his lair, Dvalinn can use the following lair actions:

• Construct Summoning: Dvalinn can summon a construct of his own design to fight alongside him. The construct has hit points equal to half Dvalinn’s maximum hit points, and it acts on Dvalinn’s initiative count. The construct remains until it is destroyed or Dvalinn dismisses it (no action required).
• Trap Activation: Dvalinn can activate one of the many traps and hazards scattered throughout his lair. The type of trap and its effects are up to the DM.
• Forge Blessing: Dvalinn can imbue a weapon or piece of armor with magical energy. The item gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls for 1 hour.

Personality

Dvalinn is a proud and stubborn dwarf who takes great pride in his craft. He is always looking for ways to improve upon his inventions and create new and more powerful items. He is fiercely loyal to his friends and allies, but has little patience for those who waste his time or fail to appreciate his genius. Dvalinn’s ultimate goal is to create the greatest invention of all time, something that will cement his place in history as the greatest craftsman who ever lived.
