[QUOTE="Psion, post: 1258060, member: 172"] [b]Matron Xune[/b] This is sort of my ultimate bad guy. I say sort of because the blood liches are really nastier. Under 3.0, she was a true necromancer. True necromancers are made pointless by the addition of the Mystic Theurge and the addition of undead creation spell to the necromancer list. However, I wasn't about to make here into a MT, as the class seems bland and a bit potent at high levels, so a made a customized, toned down version, the Charnel Lord or Lady. See next post. She also has levels in Drow Aristocrat and Avatar. Avatar is a legendary class from FFG's path of faith. She isn't fully equipped, but I will be using items from CotSQ.
