Traits

Focused Conjuration.

While Var is concentrating on a conjuration spell, his concentration can't be broken as a result of taking damage.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day).

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

Rejuvenation.

If Var is destroyed but his phylactery remains intact, Var gains a new body in 1d10 days, regaining all his hit points and becoming active again. The new body appears within 5 feet of the phylactery.

Turn Resistance.

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

Actions

Paralyzing Touch.

Melee Spell Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 10 (3d6) cold damage. The target must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Benign Transposition.

Var teleports up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space he can see. Alternatively, he can choose a space within range that is occupied by a Small or Medium creature. If that creature is willing, both creatures teleport, swapping places. Var can use this feature again only after he finishes a long rest or casts a conjuration spell of 1st level or higher.

Legendary Actions

Cantrip.

Var casts a cantrip.

Paralyzing Touch (Costs 2 Actions).

Var uses Paralyzing Touch.

Frightening Gaze (Costs 2 Actions).

Var fixes his gaze on one creature he can see within 10 feet of him. The target must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or become frightened for 1 minute. The frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a target's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to Var's gaze for the next 24 hours.
