Message: <blockquote data-quote="RangerWickett" data-source="post: 1414795" data-attributes="member: 63">One Orc would of course be a cleric specializing in counterspells, with Improved Counterspell, lots of dispel magic, and the Reactive Counterspell feat from Magic of Faerun, so he can counterspell 'fly' spells.Reactive CounterspellPrereq:  Improved Counterspell, Improved InitiativeBenefit:  You can counterspell as a reaction when it is not your turn, even if you have not readied an action.  If you do so, you give up that part of your action in your next round, so if your counterspell uses a standard action, you can only take a move action on your next turn.The cleric can also, of course, bolster the undead legion with his bolster undead ability.  He wears a bear skull mask, so when you first see him, knowing that he's undead, you might think he's actually some sort of werebear, not an Orc.  With the Reach Spell metamagic feat from Defenders of the Faith and Blindness, he can disable an enemy archer from the air.For some real fun, if they're in a copse of trees, have the cleric hit them with Mass Inflict Light Wounds, and have it kill all the trees.  Don't tell them that's what the spell is.  It's a special groovy undead Orc cleric spell that just kills everything.  Make the PCs roll saves for half damage, and then have fun describing how the trees splinter and collapse under their own weight, like they rotted from within. Are we going for 'creepy' or 'intimidating'?  For creepy, give the leader supreme damage reduction, and have it apply to his critter.  The only thing that can bypass his DR is the same sort of weapon that killed him the first time.  And of course, living flesh is anathema to him.</blockquote>
