[QUOTE="MonsterEnvy, post: 7673168, member: 6706188"] Two fun little facts. The art of the lich in the 5e monster manual is Szass Tam. As for stats, I actually thought of stats for him myself. It's largely based off the Lich Stat block but buffed up considerably. For one his HP has been buffed from the Lich's 135 to 300. His abiliy scores are Str 11, Dex 16, Con 20, Int 22, Wis 20, Cha 20. He has the added trait of Limited Magic immunity to all spells of 5th level or lower unless he wants to be affected. He has the Added Legendary Action of spending all 3 of his Legendary Actions to Concentrate on a spell. Freeing him up to concentrate on a second one i he wants to. He has been buffed up to a level 20 Caster over the Liches 18th level. I don't feel like going over his spell selection right now but I added a new custom spell to Szass Tam in his 9th level slot. Szass Tam's Supreme Counter Spell. A variation of Counter Spell. Like Counterspell it allows him to cancel out any spell being cast. The added feature is that it allows Szass Tam to take control of the spell instead of it just not working. You cast Fireball on Tam and suddenly he sends it back at your party. You cast True Polymorph on him suddenly the caster has been turned into a Book. The final thing I gave Tam is an extra spellslot of each Level. Making him utterly unmatched as a caster. In the end I graded him CR 28. [/QUOTE]
