Staunton Vhane (Forever Man)

I'm a new DM running Shattered Star with my group. They've engaged with some of Magnimar's underground, and I've incorporated Forever Man as a side quest. Does anyone have pre-made stat blocks for Forever Man or some potential Forever Man minions? The plotline is a lot of fun, and I'd like to give them some room to play.

Let me ask, will he be a recurring villain in your campaign?

I take it that you already have the Magnimar sourcebook? There's a couple of pages about the Forever Man there (from p. 44).

He is probably the single most dangerous person in Magnimar, so I'd be careful with how you utilise him in the campaign.

I have an updated statblock I made for him for use after the main campaign. I did sort of make him a TPK machine though, so you are forewarned if you request his statblock.

You could always have the Forever Man seeking to learn the lost secrets of ancient Thassilon and let him be the one who sort of guides the PCs through the campaign until after they kill Xin, at which point he springs forward for the big reveal that everything they accomplished, they only accomplished because of the information that he seeded and the people he eliminated. Now they are expendable and he's out to eliminate them.

Have him steal some awesome artifact from the Xin's tower to make the fight epic, perhaps using something that resonates with the Horalcum Flame and gives him power over time. It fits his goal of trying to gain true immortality and would make him a deadly opponent.

Of course, you would need to seed the cult of Norgorber throughout the AP so that it all doesn't come out of nowhere, but it makes it so awesome at the end once they connect the dots and realize that they were just pawns.

Hey Ejrik, can you give me the statblock of Forever Man please?
I want to use him to my campaign (Rise of the Runelorlds).

Thanks

Uhmmm.. Hey isn't Staunton Vhane a Dwarven Anti-paladin of Deskari in the 'Wrath of the Rigteous' AP?

Yup. ^_^

They're both named after an NPC from one of James Jacobs's old campaigns. He accidentally used the name twice.

That's one of my favorite pathfinder Easter eggs.

"But which one is the real Staunton Vhane!" :-)

Neither of them.

I realize it's years later and a longshot but i'd love to have this. i'm running a mythic rise of runelords and the forever man would make a great cameo.
