Description
Elf cleric of Norgorber 18
Before Combat: The cleric casts delay poison, greater magic weapon (on her sword and crossbow), freedom of movement, greater spell immunity, magic vestment, and undetectable alignment.
During Combat: The cleric uses magic to turn invisible or hinder vision, then makes hit-and-run attacks.
Base Statistics: Without greater magic weapon and magic vestment, the cleric's statistics are AC 23, touch 17, flat-footed 19; Melee +1 short sword +18/+13/+8 (1d6+2/17–20); Ranged +1 seeking light crossbow +17/+12/+7 (1d8+1/19–20).
A shadow cleric strikes like death from the darkness.
Soufara Ebonwind: Soufara is a high priestess and assassin for the god of secrets and murder. Because her god wipes secrets from Soufara’s mind once she no longer needs to know them, her memory is full of holes. Ordinary events that trigger faint echoes of lost memories can make her shake with fear or rage.
Combat Encounters: Soufara might direct a group of master assassins, dealing with spellcasters while her allies kill the rest.
Roleplaying Suggestions: Soufara might help PCs in exchange for magic that can heal her memory loss.
