[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9450835, member: 58172"] This statblock is to simplify a more complex creature, here the Drow Favored Consort. The official statblock says "Wizard". His Proficiency is legendary +6, yet the highest slot spell is Dimension Door 4. Possibly a Fighter/Wizard concept. I am arbitrarily rating him something like a Bladesinger Wizard at roughly level 18. "Wizard 18" means use the Wizard spell list, with 18 spell points. The slot of the spell is its spell point cost. The statblock lists the slot level after each spell. Thus the 18 points can cast Dimension Door four times plus Shield twice, before running out of spell points. The DM can easily have the Consort cast different spells from a spellbook or personalize a particular Consort who has different spells prepared. The highest castable spell slot is half the max spell points. This Wizard concept is high enough level to cast slot 9 spells. (Half of 18 spell points is slot 9 spells.) The Mage Armor appears as an adjustment to the AC number. Here too, "Perception" is a saving throw that keys off of Intelligence, thus also handles Intelligence checks, as well as discerning Illusion and Invisible. The Investigation serves as the skill. The Athletics proficiency also handles Acrobatic checks. Persuasion helps convey the Charisma of the concept. [ATTACH type="full"]378778[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
