the Jester
Legend
As promised, here is a stat block: Fray, the longest-running villain in my campaign (since about 1986!). Obviously, this is her in 4e terms, but I've had 1e and 2e stats for her, too. (She never came up during the 3e era.)
Fray --- Level 33 Elite Artillery (Leader)
Medium fey humanoid (eladrin) --- XP 62,000
HP 434; Bloodied 217 --- Initiative +21 (see also temporal control)
AC 47; Fortitude 44; Reflex 44; Will 48 --- Perception +19
Speed 6 --- Lowlight vision
Saving Throws +2; Action Points 1
TRAITS
Temporal Control
Fray rolls for initiative twice and takes a full set of actions on each turn. Her ability to take immediate actions refreshes on each of her turns. (Note that during the final battle, she was taking three turns, not two.)

(ranged) Fray's Persuasion (charm) * Encounter

Miss: The target is dazed (save ends).
(area) Wall of Sand (wall) * Encounter
Effect: Fray creates a wall 8 of swirling sand up to 8 squares high in unoccupied spaces that lasts until the end of her next turn. It requires 10 squares of movement to push through a square of the wall.

Hit: 6d10 poison damage plus ongoing 25 poison damage (save ends).
