I do like the idea of an NPC caster throwing out some spell that leaves my players going, "uh, what? That's not on my spell list!"I also just really like a recharge mechanic, especially for innate casters. Something like an explicit NPC wizard, yeah, a condensed spell list is probably the right way to go, but even then I like to add in little custom touches, even if it's just an existing spell with some reskinning. Like a fireball that deals both fire and poison damage, or eldritch blasts that deal necrotic damage.Maybe it's just me, but for NPC wizards and such, I like to emphasize that they're not lone wolves. They have minions and lackeys, undead that they've raised, monsters that they've created (owlbears, anyone?), even apprentices. That kind of thing tends to stack up in a battle.</blockquote>
