advantage on attack rolls he makes on his next turn.
Vuliev: Teleportation. Vuliev's Innate Spellcasting trait includes
misty step, which he can cast at will.

on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

reduced to 0. This reduction to the target's hit point maximum
lasts until the target finishes a long rest.
