Need a baddie for a game

[Phneri]

Hey all,

I'm running a game tonight and realized I've forgotten to stat up my crazy witch doctor for an upcoming confrontation.

Anyone have a build idea for the following requirements:

Arcane-based caster with some nature flavors
Gnoll
25 pt buy (or advanced simple template, swap some stats around if need be)
CR 8-10 (Party is running around level 10 and he's meant to be part of a larger encounter)

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Tis a good thought. Don't suppose you have a stat block floating around somewhere?

NPCish range is fine. Figure 10k or so. If something adds more of the witch dr. flair throw it in for giggles.

Don't forget pugwampi followers. Nothing makes players quite as happy as "Roll twice, keep the crappy one".

Interesting. I think I'd drop cackle for the cauldron hex (alchemy fits some of the flavor I want more) and maybe swap it in instead of UMD (isn't getting any use at the moment anyway).

Never really considered the elemental patron, but it does make for a pretty interesting blasty bad guy

Oh, they've already met the mooks. Not many of them, but they're all infused with necromancy as a result of being near the MaGuffin. Whenever a mook dies it gets up next round as a zombified version of itself. Leader types become wights with class levels :)
