Hey there, I made up some stats for Tenser if you want to use them. I decided on focusing on his Transformation line of spells, according the wikipedia snippet there seems to be an awful lot of physical, self-boosting spells. He's pretty much a badass with wealth well over the average NPC (then again, he's not your average NPC). Tenser wields a flaming long sword in one hand and a staff in the archmagi in the other, can use a Quickened, Greater Tenser's Transformation as a spell-like ability from Archmage (see below). He has a lot of defensive spells memorized and I imagine he's a lot more paranoid in general after Rary's betrayal. The wizard's old and a little slow though, which can be fatal in epic duels. Stat block is my own, but should be fairly simple to make out.
