Advice


I need an npc sheet that will be a nice challenge for my PCs. This is climatic battle for my PCs and needs to feel very epic. It also needs to be a 1 vs 5 battle.

To help with action economy the BBEG is tied to an artifact that grants the following abilities.

The Wormwood Clock:

Aura: strong conjuration (summoning) CL 20th
Slot: None Weight: 10 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

This macabre brass-and-copper clock depicts worms writhing through whale corpses. The clock makes a heavy reverberating tick each second, and chimes with haunting bells at dawn and dusk. The Wormwood Clock also has another purpose. Within is trapped the soul of Barnabas Harrigan, and as long as it ticks Barnabas Harrigan will never be free of the bargain he made to save his life from his Chelish captors, or even this mortal coil. This clock is an anchor that weighs Harrigan to this world. Unfortunately stopping its infernal ticking is as difficult as freeing the trapped soul within. Each week the clock torments Harrigan's soul, causing the pirate intense physical and spiritual agony, but the Clock can be appeased. As each punishment performed before the clock eases the torment on Harrigan's soul.
As long as the clock ticks Harrigan has the following qualities:

Unstoppable: If Harrigan starts his turn suffering from any or all of the following conditions, he recovers from them at the end of its turn: blind, confused, dazed, deafened, dazzled, exhausted, fatigued, nauseated, sickened, slowed, staggered, and stunned. Each condition lifted does 15 damage.

DR 15/Lawful Evil: Nigh unkillable by most weapons Harrigan's diabolic masters left him with a weakness to the weapons they favor best.

Immunity: ability damage, aging, bleed, disease, energy drain, mind-affecting effects, negative levels, paralysis, permanent wounds, petrification, poison, and polymorph. Instead any effect that would cause any of the above does 5xCL HP.

SR 11+HD: Harrigan is resistant to magic except spells with [lawful] or [evil] descriptors.

If Harrigan is reduced to 0 HP he takes 1 con drain and heals 50 HP. If this ability is triggered he may use it a again as free action to heal additional damage. This effect is similar to breath of life.

I need a pure martial with full WBL that do 100-150 DPR (with self buffs) against an AC 40. I would like him to make good use of shaken condition but frightened kills the fun for a PC. 20 point buy. Feats like iron will include the improved version for free. Reasonable custom items allowed. I am thinking of sword saint samurai order of the cockatrice, maybe with an improved familiar.


AHHHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

SPOILERS DUDE

FFS USE THE SKULLS AND SHACKLES FORUM

MY EYES


Opps forgot to take the name out of where I borrowed the clock from.

That other forum is so very dead that I will get no help over there. Also this is more of NPC creation issue since the sheet needs a total overhaul.


Right now I am thinking of using a fighter (mutation warrior) 13/Caviler (gendarme) [order of the cockatrice].

He will start with dazzling display and try and keep his target scared with cornagon smash. On the second round he will challenge 1 of the melee types. From there it is a slugfest.

Any way to get even more benefit from the shaken condition?
