Jarad Vod Savo

Traits

Legendary Resistance (3/Day)

If Jarad fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Resistance

Jarad has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Regeneration

Jarad regains 25 hit points at the start of his turn. If he takes fire or radiant damage, this trait doesn't function at the start of his next turn. He dies only if he starts its turn with 0 hit points and doesn't regenerate.

Spore Infusion

Jarad is surrounded by a cloud of spores. As a bonus action, he can cause the spores to deal 11 (2d10) poison damage to a creature he can see within 10 feet of him.

Turn Resistance

Jarad has advantage on saving throws against any effect that turns undead.

Undead Fortitude

If damage reduces Jarad to 0 hit points, he 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, he drops to 1 hit point instead.
