In an interesting improv moment, about halfway through our first session, I came up with the idea of a powerful evil nature druid/mage who I plan on making repeat appearances ("we'll meet again, my friends!" *shakes fist then vanishes) and who will cause trouble on their upcoming quests. So far, they've only seen him from a distance as he commanded a giant spider to attack the party on a mountain pass (and then he vanished into the wooded terrain above). Eventually, they'll have a direct encounter(s) with him, and possibly at the end of this first adventure.I'm hoping to get help with...- What I should use as his base class and where I should get that info from: Does the Monster Manual offer info on this or should I just pick the wizard or druid class from the PHB and build from there? - How I should approach his stats considering that my players are just on the cusp of 2nd level.- Would love some ideas on his custom spells or maybe evil ways of controlling nature to the detriment of the players.Thanks for the help!</blockquote>
