We’ve got our first corpse exploiting necromancer in here, so it’s important to note that a “fresh corpse” is specifically one made within the last six hours (before rigor mortis has set in) and which has not been decayed by other means. Generally speaking, a fresh corpse is going to be the result of some very recent murder. If a corpse is decayed as a result of some spell or other effect, it is no longer fresh.

Dwarven Resilience. The Stone Summit has advantage on saving throws against poison.
Actions:
Banish (recharges 4-6). Spell. The Stone Summit channels radiant power to sear the soul of the target creature. Particularly effective against those whose souls have somewhere else to go in a pinch. One creature within 30 ft. of the Stone Summit must make a Wisdom save against DC 15. The target takes 26 (4d10+4) radiant damage on a failed save, or half that on a success. Celestials, elementals, fey, and fiends have disadvantage on the save and take double damage from the attack.
Heal Other (recharges 4-6). Spell. The Stone Summit heals one creature other than himself within 30 ft. for 40 (8d8+4).
Remove Hex (recharges 4-6). Spell. The Stone Summit rolls his Wisdom save against any ongoing spell on any creature (including himself) that requires a Wisdom or Intelligence save to resist and/or end. If he succeeds, the spell ends.
Shielding Hands (recharges 5-6). Spell. The Stone Summit may shield one ally that he can touch from attacks, granting them 5 DR. While this spell is active, all recharge effects that require die rolls have their recharge range shrunk by one (for example, from 4-6 to 5-6), any recharge effects that recharge only on a roll of 6 instead recharge on a Short Rest, and any effects that recharge on a Short Rest instead recharge on a Long Rest.
Strength of Honor (recharges 5-6). Spell. The Stone Summit imbues one ally with righteous conviction, granting them +1d8 radiant damage to their attacks. While this spell is active, all recharge effects that require die rolls have their recharge range shrunk by one (for example, from 4-6 to 5-6), any recharge effects that recharge only on a roll of 6 instead recharge on a Short Rest, and any effects that recharge on a Short Rest instead recharge on a Long Rest.
Wand Shot. Ranged weapon attack: +7 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6+4) radiant damage.
