Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shin Okada" data-source="post: 4965766" data-attributes="member: 1956">Ak'Chazar Rakshasa in MM 3 is another good villain sorcerer monster. As it is a CR 15 creature who casts as a 12th-level sorcerer, it's spell casting ability will be a little bit behind CR. But regarding caster level, Practiced Spellcaster feat or Abjurant Champion level will take care of. And it is much tougher than usual spell casters.So, for example, an Ak'Chazar Rakshasa Sorcerer 5 is a CR 20 critter who casts spells as a 17th-level sorcerer, with caster level 21 (Practiced Spellcaster) with really high Charisma. Or, you can make him an Ak'Chazar Rakshasa Abjurant Champion 5 and now he casts spells as a 17th-level sorcerer with caster level 22 (=BAB). If you only give him Abjurant Champion levels, consider giving Rapid Metamagic feat (Complete Mage). If you give some actual Sorcerer levels, give him Metamagic Specialist alternative class feature (PHB 2).And this critter has very good necromancy spell-like abilities and special abilities, including Rebuke Undead.I once used this critter in a campaign which is using Complete Divine variant Turning Undead rule.Of course, Ak'Chazar had a lot of Undead minions. And as I gave him Quicken Turning feat, he could heal all the nearby undead minions' HPs in a rate of 20d6 per turn as a free action. On top of it he could use Pain Wave (20-ft. radius Inflict Moderate Wounds) as another free action <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
