Legendary Luck (3/day). The Maneki-Neko has three luck points per day. Whenever it fails a saving throw, an attack would hit, or an opponent succeeds on an attack against it, it can expend 1 luck point to force a reroll, taking the worse result for the attacker or the better result for itself.
Unbelievable Evasion. When subjected to an effect that allows a DEX save for half damage, the Maneki-Neko instead takes no damage on a success and half damage on a failure.
Fickle Fortune (Aura). Creatures of the Maneki-Neko's choice within 20 feet suffer from twisted fate. Attackers within this aura roll with disadvantage on attack rolls.
Whims of Fate. Whenever a creature rolls a natural 1, the Maneki-Neko may choose an additional misfortune from the following list:

Drop Weapon – The target’s weapon slips from their hands.

Trip & Fall – The target is knocked prone.

Backfire – The target accidentally hits an ally within range.

Arcane Disruption – The target’s spell fails and is expended.

Actions

On hit: 14 (4d6) psychic damage.

Misfortune Effect: The target must make a DC 17 Charisma save or suffer disadvantage on their next attack or saving throw.

Curse of the Clumsy Fool (Recharge 5-6). The Maneki-Neko targets a creature within 30 feet, twisting fate against them. The target must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or suffer two of the following effects for 1 minute:

Their critical hits become normal hits.

Their attacks deal half damage.

They roll all ability checks and attack rolls with disadvantage.

Any spell they cast that requires an attack roll immediately has a 50% chance to fail.

(The target may repeat the save at the end of each of its turns.)

Malignant Luckwave (Recharge 5-6). The Maneki-Neko conjures a wave of cursed luck in a 20-foot radius centered on itself. Each creature of its choice must make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be subjected to one of the following effects for 1 minute (Maneki-Neko’s choice per creature):

Drop to Last Initiative – The target moves to the bottom of initiative.

Item Vanishes – A held object teleports 30 feet in a random direction.

Luck Drain – The target loses 1d4+2 from all d20 rolls for the duration.

(Creatures can repeat the save at the end of their turns.)
