PF 1e: Arrogant Mage

The Book of Beasts: Witch Codex is our third installment in the Book of Beasts: Character Codex Subscription. Previously, we shared with you the level 1 witch and the level 4 witch. Today we’re sharing with you the level 12 witch, the Arrogant Mage.

The Arrogant Mage is a great example of a witch that focuses on enchantment and transmutation spells that take a combatant out of a fight or otherwise weaken them. With spells like baleful polymorph, dominate person, hold monster, and mind fog ready to be cast, the arrogant mage can singlehandedly make life tough for a typical Pathfinder group. The NPC also has damaging spells to fall back upon like enervation, lightning bolt, and vampiric touch, but these are the lower-level spells, far from the character’s focus. If you are looking for an NPC that can be a real problem for your characters, this NPC is it.

Download the Book of Beasts: Witch Codex today at DriveThruRPG, and the Open Gaming Store.

Tactics


Before Combat The witch casts mage armor each morning, as well as spite in conjunction with vampiric touch. If encountered in the witchโ€™s abode, a symbol of sealing bars entry. Before battle, the witch drinks a potion of barkskin, uses the wand of shield, and casts catโ€™s grace.
During Combat The witch flies out of melee range and attempts to use high-level enchantments and transmutations to neutralize foes. Otherwise, the witch attacks from range with Arcane Blasts, the wand of maximized magic missile, or crossbow bolts, absconding via dimension door if cornered or casting transformation and twilight knife to fight head-on if escape is impossible.

Poll: Where Do You Like Stat Blocks in Adventures

When you are reading and running an adventure, do you like the stat block right there? Would you rather not have to deal with the stat blocks until you are ready for them?

Do you like the stat blocks right where the room and the encounter is described so you don’t have to flip pages? Would you rather it be in a different file, letting you split screen/print out the monsters?

Tell us how you prefer monsters in your adventures.
