Greater Steed. If Bhaal isn’t mounted, he can use a bonus action to magically teleport onto Eversmoke, provided Bhaal and Eversmoke are on the same plane of existence. When he teleports, Bhaal appears astride Eversmoke, along with any equipment he is wearing or carrying. While mounted and not incapacitated, Bhaal can’t be surprised, and both he and Eversmoke have advantage on Dexterity saving throws. Bhaal and Eversmoke share a health pool, and Bhaal can choose to force an attack on Eversmoke to target him instead.

Magic Resistance. Bhaal has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
