Capitalize (1/Turn). If the Amazon hits a creature that she can see with a melee weapon attack, she can use her bonus action to immediately make another melee weapon attack against the same creature. This extra attack has disadvantage.

Fear of Magic. If a creature casts a spell or uses another magical effect within 30 feet of the Amazon and the Amazon can see it, the Amazon must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw with a DC equal to the spellcaster’s spell save DC. On a failed saving throw, the Amazon is frightened of the spellcaster for 1 minute. The Amazon can repeat her saving throw at the end of each of her turns, ending the frightened effect on a success. If the Amazon succeeds on her initial saving throw or the effect ends for her, this trait does not function for 1 hour.

Serpent Whisperer. Through sounds and gestures, the Amazon can communicate simple ideas with snakes and other serpents.

Shield Guardian. When the Amazon takes the Dodge action and she is wielding a shield, she gains a +3 bonus to her AC.

Actions

Multiattack. The Amazon makes three attacks with her tepoztopilli.

Tepoztopilli. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage, or 9 (1d10 + 4) bludgeoning when wielded with two hands.

Sling. Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage.

Shield Bash. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
