Description
Half-orc sorcerer 10
Before Combat: The sorcerer casts false life, mage armor, and stoneskin on himself.
During Combat: The sorcerer casts fly on the first round of combat along with a quickened magic missile. He maneuvers so he can catch as many opponents as possible with his breath weapon. If pressed into melee, he casts bull’s strength and rage, then attacks with his greataxe or claws.
Base Statistics: Without false life, mage armor, and stoneskin, the sorcerer’s statistics are AC 15, touch 12, flat-footed 14; hp 67; DR —.
The blackscale sorcerer channels the powers of corruption and sloth.
Brax Swampblack: Brax was born in an inbred human village tainted by swamp magic and a forgotten legacy of despicable acts. He is primarily driven by hunger and the urge to corrupt others, though his sloth often gets the better of him. He is equally comfortable sleeping in a bed, in a sewer, or on a pile of corpses. When his laziness overcomes his violent tendencies, he is talkative but dull, concerned more with his inflated ego than anything of consequence.
Combat Encounters: Brax is usually a loner, but he may browbeat simple creatures, such as boggards, orcs, or trolls, into serving him.
Roleplaying Encounters:When Brax is feeling particularly sated, flattery could convince him to work with the PCs, especially if their goal is removing threats to his territory.
