Legendary Resistance: (3/day): If Strahd fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead. Misty Escape: When he drops to 0 hit points outside of his coffin, Strahd transforms into a cloud of mist, instead of falling unconscious, provided that he isn’t in running water or sunlight. If he can’t transform, he is destroyed. While he has 0 hit points in mist form, he can’t revert to his vampire form, and he must reach his coffin within 2 hours or be destroyed. Once in his coffin, he reverts to his vampire form. He is paralyzed until he regains at least 1 hit point. After spending 1 hour in his coffin with 0 hit points, he regains 1 hit point.

If he takes radiant damage from holy water, this trait doesn’t function at the start of his next turn. Children of the Night: Strahd Magically calls 2D4 swarms of bats or swarms rats, provided that the sun isn’t up. While outdoors, Strahd can call 3d6 wolves instead. The called creatures arrive in 1d4 round, acting as allies of strahd and obeying his spoken commands. The beasts remain for 1 hour, until Strahd dies, or until he dismisses them as a bonus action. Charm: Strahd targets one humanoid he can see within 30ft of him. If the target can see Strahd the target must succeed on DC 17 wisdom saving throw against this magic or be charmed. The charmed target regards strahd as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected. The target isn’t under Strahd’s control, but it takes Strahd’s request and actions in the most favorable way and lets Strahd bite it.
