General Grievous

Jedi Hunter

Formerly known as Qymaen jai Sheelal, Grievous was a Kaleesh from the planet Kalee and was born into war between his race and the slave trading Huks

The Huks were a technologically superior race of insectoid creatures that loved enslaving the Kalleesh

During the long war against this evil race, Grievous lost many comrades including his best friend, Ronderu lij Kummar.

After years and years of war, Grievous led his people to victory as they drove the Huks off their planet. To ensure victory, he led an offensive on the Huk colonies destroying much of their planets.

Only now responding the atrocities of this war, the Jedi Order and Republic stepped in to end it all but took the side of the Huks, those that started the war in the first place.

It was from this that Grievous obtained a never ending grudge against the Jedi, vowing to kill them all, and then fell under the control of the Sith.

Dooku and Sidious took great time engineering Grievous' body to be resistant against jedi force techniques. They installed programming to give him proficiency in all seven lightsaber forms.

With training, Grievous learned fear tactics and unorthodox fighting techniques to make jedi lose focus and open them up for a killing blow.

Actions

Multiattack. Grievous makes four Lightsaber attacks and uses Frightful Presence. He can replace a Lightsaber attack with a Kick/Pin and can replace two Lightsaber attacks with Blender.

Lightsaber. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (2d10 + 7) energy damage

Blender. Each creature within 10 ft. of Grievous must make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw taking 2d10 energy damage on a failure and half as much on a success.

Frightful Presence. Each creature of the Grievous' choice that is within 120 feet of Grievous and aware of him must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the Grievous' Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Kick/Pin. Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 15 ft., one creature. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage. Instead of dealing damage, Grievous can grapple the target (escape DC 19).

The target then makes a DC 19 Strength saving throw or become restrained as Grievous pins them with his Durasteel Foot.

Lightsaber Assault. While moving his speed this turn, Grievous makes a Lightsaber attack against each creature within range of his movement.

Fancy Footwork (Recharge 5-6). As a bonus action, Grievous gains advantage on all his Lighstaber attacks until the beginning of his next turn as he begins swapping lightsabers between his arms and feet flipping and turning his body randomly.

If a thrown target strikes a solid surface, the target takes 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it was thrown. If the target is thrown at another creature, that creature must succeed on a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage and be knocked prone

A creature can use its action to make a DC 19 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Dealing 15 slashing damage to the net (AC 15) also frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect and destroying the wires.
