Blessed Toxmalb, Rhandite Lorekeeper

[shootingwomprats]

I was converting this character from The Unknown Regions source book and thought I would share. This guy could give any group a few problems. Especially if he had a few Pawns to help.

Blessed Toxmalb
One of the oldest members of the Sorcerers of Rhand, Blessed Toxmalb inhabits the High Tower Observatory of Rhand's central ruin. He is a tall, bipedal being with sunken holes for eyes and chalky gray skin. Upon closer inspection, his "skin" is revealed to be nothing but powdery flakes that shed in dry rivulets, giving him a perpetually melting appearance.

Beneath this shifting layer nest hundreds of tiny flies that buzz about his head and bury themselves in his cheeks. The flies do not bite, but if directed by Toxmalb, they form a cloud around an enemy's head to force choking and suffocation.

Toxmalb is known as the Rhandite Lorekeeper and stores treasures in his aerie for translation. He speaks in a dry croak and is fluent in hundreds of languages. Although Blessed Toxmalb is most often encountered in his crumbling tower, he sometimes provides his services to visitors as a guide through the frightening and mind-bending sights of Rhand. In this same capacity, he drops in on the twelve worlds of the Nihil Retreat.

Toxmalb is skilled in the ways of the Dark and has attained his position through a century of Darksight path-walking. He wears a shadow crown buried beneath the skin flakes of his forehead, used to control up to a hundred Pawns scattered across the Retreat's worlds. Although the Pawns possess no true Dark abilities, they serve as an advanced warning system to alert Toxmalb to any danger, and he frequently throws them away as cannon fodder.

4. Shadow Crown: A shadow crown is a smokestone circlet that enables a Sorcerer of Rhand to communicate with and command its Pawns by enhancing the Sorcerer's telepathic abilities. As a free action, the wearer can receive sensory information from any or all of its Pawns, gaining a +2 bonus to search checks for every Pawn within 20 meters or within line of sight (maximum bonus of +10). The wearer can also issue a one-word emotive command to any or all of its Pawns.
Story Factors:
