[QUOTE="Volaran, post: 291496, member: 592"] Well, given the last time I DMed, I probably won’t be coming up with any epic level villains for myself for a long time. Since a commander has been submitted, I’ll try my hand at one of these 30th level specialists ^_^ Lord Gareth Male Death Knight Paladin 10/ Blackguard 20 Hit Dice: 30d12 Hit Points: 215 Initiative: +1 Size: Medium Speed: 30 feet AC: 36 (10 base, +5 Natural, +13 Full Plate, +7 Shield, +1 Dex) Attacks: Longsword: +41/+41/+36/+31/+26 Touch: +36/+31/+26/+21 Damage: Longsword: 1d8+21, +2d6 unholy vs good creatures, 1 point of Con Damage (DC 39 to negate) Touch: 1d8+5 (DC 39 to half), 1 point of Con Damage (DC 39 to negate) Face/Reach: 5 ft by 5ft/5 ft Special Attacks: Abyssal Blast, Aura of Despair, Command Undead as 17th level Cleric 16/day, Fear Aura, Fiendish Summoning, Smite Good 2/day (+13 to attack, +40 to damage), Sneak Attack +7d6, Spells, Undead Followers Special Qualities: Acid Resistance 10, Damage Reduction 15/+1, Detect Good, Poison Use, Dark Blessing, Fiendish Servant, Immunities (standard undead, cold, electricity, fire and polymorphing), Lay on Hands (self and mount only), SR 40, Sonic Resistance 10, Summon Mount, Turn Immunity, Undead Compainion, Undead traits Saves: Fort +32 Ref +25 Will +30 Abilities: Str 26 (32) Dex 12 Con -- Int 15 Wis 22 Cha 30 (36) Skills: Concentration +15, Diplomacy +34, Handle Animal +34, Religion +35, Intimidate +44, Ride +33 Feats: Cleave, Great Cleave, Leadership, Mounted Combat, Power Attack, Ride-by Attack, Sunder, Trample Epic Feats: Epic Leadership, Great Smiting, Improved Aura of Despair, Negative Energy Burst, Undead Mastery, Unholy Strike, Zone of Animation Challenge Rating: 33 Alignment: Lawful Evil Leadership Score: 43 Followers: 1300 1st, 130 2nd, 65 3rd, 32 4th, 16 5th, 8 6th, 4 7th, 2 8th, 1 9th Cohorts: 1 26th Languages Spoken: Common, Infernal Spells: Base DC 16 (4/4/3/2) Possessions: +5 Keen Speed Longsword +5 Sonic Resistance Full Plate +5 Animated Acid Resistance Large Shield Belt of Giant Strength +6 Cloak of Charisma +6 Helm of Teleportation Orb of Storms Gareth’s origins are long shrouded in mystery. Some say when Azurukin first came to serve the vampire king Mallenar, Gareth was at his side. Others claim he is a fallen Vallorean paladin, corrupted by the demi-lich as proof of his loyalty and power to the land of Galleran. Both theories have merit. Certainly none can remember a time when the demi-lich did not have this fearsome warrior at his side. Yet time and time again Gareth has proven adept enough at anticipating Vallorean tactics that one would be hard put to determine whether his battle sense comes from centuries of study, or being raised watching them. The Death Knight Gareth is a demoralizing force on the battlefield. Deep within plate armor that might have been forged in the underworld for the vile images carved into it, two red eyes burn with a passion few living can match. Mounted on his Nightmare, Gareth is a truly frightening Galleran leader. His presence on the field of battle is often preceded by storms appearing from nowhere and battering an army. Then, in the confusion, he appears. Gareth is known to lead from the front where his natural powers are at their most effective, and strike quickly at key targets. His natural immunity to turning had allowed him to crush clerical forces that Galleran’s vampires and weaker undead so often find themselves at the mercy of. His forces are easily and quickly replenished, as crushed foes rise up almost instantly to fill holes in his own numbers. In addition, foes near Gareth often feel weakened and shaken, giving his troops a slight advantage against the legendary Vallorean resolve that has been so effective against Mallenar’s nation. Well, had some time to kill, so I hope you like him….granted I’m not sure he’s in with SHARK world power levels. ^_^ [/QUOTE]
