How to create a Nagash

[Asmodeus]

Howdy,

I was wondering how some of you Warhammer fans would go aobut creating Nagash, Lord of the Undead into 3ed rules. I paln to use him as a grand villian for my upcoming story arc but am unsure exactly how he would translate. My current thoughts would be soemtihng like cleric 10, wizard 20 or so. Maybe throw in the true necromancer and crypt lord for flavor. Amybe archmage too. Any other suggestions?

I need him to be in the levels of about 25-30. I don't want soemthing too high otherwise the PCs will never be able to defeat him. Also what about his magic times like his 9 books of Nagash and such.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there!

Well, firstly you have to make him at least a 20th-level and a Lich.

My suggestion would be:

Necromancer 10
True Necromancer 10
Cleric 5
Archmage 5
+ Lich Template.

This gives him 32 Effective Levels which is about the equivalent of CR26.

From what I recall he has (or had) an Artifact called the Crown of Sorcery that allowed him to use 5th-level (Warhammer) spells - which are presumably the equivalent of True Dweomers (10th-level Magic) in D&D - you may want to wait for the Epic Level Handbook (July) before detailing that!?

Hope that helps a little?
