He can use some "off-screen ritual" to whisk his soul away and come back in another body. (Even better if he can use magic to disguise himself, so each time he is "killed", he can spy on the PCs before they fight again.)What are his thoughts about Lolth? IMO, that's pretty serious for a drow. If he likes Lolth, he's probably using spider-themed magic. If he hates Lolth, he's probably more of a "standard" wizard, and won't be working with priestesses of Lolth.If he's artillery, I would recommend a Charisma-based infernal warlock-like build. (I know they're Con-based, but NPCs don't have to follow the rules strictly.) If you have Threats to the Nentir Vale, look up the gnoll warlock. Copy his curse ability.On the other hand, if he's a controller, I would recommend an Int-based orbizard build. Drow like darkness, I expect, so give him an AoE blinding power (or two). Yes, that's very painful.In either case, he needs a teleport power, something that can recharge when bloodied, or even better, is triggered when he is hit by damage or a nasty effect. That'll let him escape at the end of most conflicts. If it's an interrupt, a stun effect won't even land a hit, because he'll have "dodge-ported" before the stun effect hits.</blockquote>
