Traits

Assassinate.

During its first turn, Xarann has advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn't taken a turn. Any hit Xarann scores against a surprised creature is a critical hit.

Evasion.

If Xarann is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, Xarann instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.

Sneak Attack (1/Turn).

Xarann deals an extra 14 (4d6) damage when it 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 Xarann that isn't incapacitated and Xarann doesn't have disadvantage on the attack roll.

Special Equipment.

Xarann wears a Piwafwi (Cloak of Elvenkind), a drow-made cloak of elvenkind. It loses its magic if exposed to sunlight for 1 hour without interruption.
