[QUOTE="John Dallman, post: 9611745, member: 6999616"] We were going along a path through "Old Frog Swamp" and were just arriving at the river when four giant frogs showed themselves. The two on the left of the party got missile fire from the Scout and chopping from the Knight, and weren't too much of a problem. The two on the right were only facing Narkron the Uncanny, and his clerical henchmen which looked like a significant problem. Narkron is built off the Necromancer template, but explodes most of the cliches. He thinks of himself as a "Psychopomp," someone whose job is to make sure the deceased go to their correct afterlives, and has a Sense of Duty towards them. In D&D alignment terms, he'd be somewhere on the border between Lawful Neutral and Lawful Good. The things he does as an adventurer are backup fighter - he doesn't do a lot of damage, but he has some interesting defences - controlling undead, exorcising spirits, detecting and dispelling magic, [I]Deathtouch[/I], [I]Rotting Death[/I], and a variety of fear spells. Giant frogs don't seem to be good at Fright Checks. One leapt into the river and swam away as if a giant heron was after it. The other went catatonic, and was dispatched with multiple axe-blows.
