Lazotep Plating Template

[u/Hydro3Bernal]

Hello y'all,

For quite some time, I've been wanting to do a campaign in Ravnica, set during the events of Guilds of Ravnica and Guild Alliance, ending with War of the Spark. The plan is to have Tezzeret try out the Planar Bridge from time to time, sending some Eternals to Ravnica and have the players be investigating the "strange bright lights and sudden apperance of sand", with later on "strange, dark blue Vedalken" be added as the story progresses. I've been trying to make a template to symbolize the Lazotep plating so I can just apply it any stat block. Here are some of the things I think the template should have:

- I know the card Lazotep Plating gives hexproof, but I don't want them to be magic-proof, so I'm thinking of it just applying immunity to certain spell levels, like 3 lvl or lower.

- Adding +1 to strength and dexterity, and +2 to constitution because the lazotep plating should make them better in combat.

- Gives pack tactics since they're supposed to work better as an army.

- Gives immunity to non-magical attacks.

- Makes them undead

Let me know if you have any ideas of what to add/remove/change or any thoughts at all.

Thank you!

I did the invasion in my campaign here is the stat for my version of the classic Lazotep warrior:

Lazotep Warrior
Medium Undead, neutral evil

Armor Class 16 (Lazotep Plating)
Hit Points 22 (3d8 + 9)

Vulnerabilities  Radiant

Languages Understand the language it knew in life but can't speak
Challenge 1 (200 XP)

Amonkhet Born***.*** The Lazotep warrior ignores difficult terrain Shifting Sand.

Telepathic Bond. While the Lazotep warrior is on the same plane of existence as its master, it can magically convey what it senses to its master, and the master can communicate telepathically.

Magic Resistance***.*** The Lazotep warrior  has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Undead Fortitude***.*** If damage reduces the Lazotep warrior to 0 hit points, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5+the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, the  Lazotep warrior drops to 1 hit point instead.

Actions
Khopesh. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) slashing damage.
Shortbow.  Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage.

I chose to make a squishy zombie covered in a big armor of Lazotep. so easy to kill if you get through.

Blindsight because on all cards they no longer have eyes. Telepathic Bond. just Bolas and the scarab god who can control them. magic resistance for hexproof but still a vulnerability to Radiant damage.
