Evasion. If The Baron is subjected to an effect that allows him to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, The Baron instead takes no damage if he succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.
Lucky (3/Long Rest). The Baron is lucky. He may reroll any d20 roll after he see the result, however, he must accept the next roll. He may only reroll the same die once.
Sneak Attack (1/Turn). The Baron deals an extra 13 (4d6) damage when he hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of The Baron that isn’t incapacitated and The Baron doesn’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.
Sap Adept. The Baron is a master of the use (and misuse) of the sap increasing its damage and DC (included).
