A lammasu attacks with spells or its razor-sharp claws. It almost always enters combat if it observes a good creature being threatened by evil.
A lammasu casts spells as a 7th-level cleric, and can choose spells from the cleric spell list, plus any two of the following domains: Good, Healing, Knowledge, or Law.
0—detect magic, guidance (2), light, read magic, resistance; 1st—bless (2), detect evil, divine favor, entropic shield, protection from evil*; 2nd— aid*, bear’s endurance, bull’s strength, lesser restoration, resist energy; 3rd—daylight, dispel magic, magic circle against evil*, remove curse; 4th—holy smite*, neutralize poison.
