Rimilin was originally envisioned as a Conjuration specialist in 3.0, but I lost his full stats a long time ago. By the time he reappeared, the campaign had updated to 3.5; the loss of two schools didn't fit well, and he became a generalist. I think he's a 38-point build, which is pretty solid. Abilities include a +5 inherent bonus to Int and Cha (from magic), and a +2 inherent bonus to Dex and Con (from the Acolyte of the Skin PrC). Approx level 30 PC wealth (4.3M or so), but inherent bonuses and epic spell costs are set against that figure – something I didn't do with the more powerful Cheshnite epic casters, for better or worse. Robust SR coupled with well-honed counterspelling abilities provide good magical protection (Rimilin can counterspell with any spell of the same school and level as an immediate action as long as he's not flat-footed, and turn a targeted effect back on the caster); Invulnerability Aura epic spell grants very high AC (included in the stat block). Rimilin is a tough nut to crack. If seriously threatened, Rimilin will generally retreat via greater teleport and conjure demons to attack his foes, but may use spells or arcane fire if the option is not available. He's pretty versatile: Master Staff feat takes the onus off of having to prepare any binding spells, and arcane fire is handy (no SR or resistances to worry about). His library is smaller than Mostin's, but rather eclectic with several BoEM spells: Rimilin has dweomers which the Alienist would certainly like to get his grubby hands on.RimilinHalf Human/Half-Fiend Wizard 10 / Acolyte of the Skin 10 / Archmage 5; CE Outsider (Augmented Humanoid, Native); CR 29; HD 10d4+30 plus 10d8+30 plus 5d4+15; hp 160; Init +8; Spd 30ft.; AC 57 (+4 Dex, +40 armor, +3 natural; touch 14, flat-footed 53); Base Atk +15; Grp +18; Atk +23 melee (1d6+9, staff of planar might) or +19 ranged (ranged touch, various supernatural powers); Full Atk +23/+18/+13 melee (1d6+9, staff of planar might); SA arcane fire, arcane reach, fiendish glare, glare of the pit, mastery of elements, poison, smite good, spell-like abilities, spells, summon fiend; SQ Darkvision 120 ft., DR 10/good, fiendish symbiosis, immunity to poison, skin adaptation, resistances (acid, cold, electricity and fire 10), SR 35, wear fiend; SV Fort +15 Ref +12 Will +19; Str 16 Dex 18 Con 16 Int 35 Wis 16 Cha 23Skills: Bluff +20, Concentration +51, Craft (alchemy) +40, Decipher Script +40, Diplomacy +20, Intimidate +36, Knowledge (arcana) +40, Knowledge (history) +40, Knowledge (the planes) +40, Knowledge (religion) +40, Listen +33, Search +40, Sense Motive +17, Spellcraft +77, Spot +35, Tumble +14Feats: Craft Wondrous Item, Craft Staff, Epic Spellcasting, Improved Counterspell, Improved Initiative, Master Staff, Practiced Spellcaster, Reactive Counterspell, Scribe Scroll, Skill Focus (Spellcraft), Spell Focus (Conjuration), Spell Focus (Abjuration), Spell PenetrationFiendish Glare (Su): Once per day as a standard action Rimilin can glare at an opponent within 100 ft. and leave them shaken for 10 minutes.
