Fey Ancestry

Rolen has advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put him to sleep.

Hypnotic Gaze

As an action, he can choose one creature that he can see within 5 feet of him. If the target can see or hear him, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against DC 18 or be charmed by him until the end of his next turn. The charmed creature's speed drops to 0, and the creature is incapacitated and visibly dazed. On subsequent turns, he can use his action to maintain this effect, extending its duration until the end of his next turn. However, the effect ends if he moves more than 5 feet away from the creature, if the creature can neither see nor hear him, or if the creature takes damage. Once the effect ends, or if the creature succeeds on its initial saving throw against this effect, he can't use this feature on that creature again until he finishes a long rest.

Instinctive Charm

When a creature he can see within 30 feet of him makes an attack roll against him, he can use his reaction to divert the attack, provided that another creature is within the attack's range. The attacker must make a Wisdom saving throw against DC 18. On a failed save, the attacker must target the creature that is closest to it, not including him or itself. If multiple creatures are closest, the attacker chooses which one to target. On a successful save, he can't use this feature on the attacker again until he finishes a long rest. He must choose to use this feature before knowing whether the attack hits or misses. Creatures that can't be charmed are immune to this effect.
