Nobles of the Waning Court - The beauty of ripe fruit blended with the breach within autumn’s long shadows, every noble of the waning court is a vision to behold. Black, pupilless eyes dominate their fine-boned faces while sharp teeth lurk behind plush lips. The faeries’ ears are pointed like an elf’s, but slightly shorter. This is due to the antelope-like horns spiraling from their temples, the base of which are riddled with red-stained honeycombs. Waning court nobles wear their hair long, often braided with bones and sticks, and is a color of fall leaves. Their skin tone can best be described as bloodless. Commonly, these fey wear leathers cured of eldritch animals, cloaks made from a nightmare or displacer beast pelts, black iron plates, and amber adornments with petrified insects within. Most find their mien more savage than aristocratic. Stray direflies are their constant companions, always buzzing cryptic prophecies as they crawl about.

1-10: Nothing else happens.
11-14: One leg is severed from the waning chevalier if it has any legs left.
15-18: One arm is severed from the waning chevalier if it has any arms left.
19-20: The waning chevalier is decapitated, but the waning chevalier dies only if it can't regenerate. If it dies, so does the severed head.
If the waning chevalier starts its turn in a square with a severed part it may use a bonus action to reattach the body part.
If the waning chevalier finishes a short or long rest without reattaching a severed limb or head, the part regrows. At that point, the severed part rots away. Until then, a severed part acts on the waning chevalier's initiative and has its own action and movement. A severed part has AC 15, 10 hit points, but not the waning chevalier's Regeneration trait.
A severed leg is unable to attack and has a speed of 5 feet.
A severed arm has a speed of 5 feet and can make one unarmed attack on its turn, with disadvantage on the attack roll unless the waning chevalier can see the arm and its target. If the waning chevalier loses both of its arms it loses its throneshared sword attack.
If its head is severed the body is blinded unless the head can see it. The severed head has a speed of 0 feet and the waning chevalier's Ephemeral Mien trait.
The waning chevalier's speed is halved if it's missing a leg. If it loses both legs, it falls prone. If it has both arms, it can crawl. With only one arm, it can still crawl, but its speed is halved. With no arms or legs, its speed is 0, and it can't benefit from bonuses to speed.
