The Ravenous Lord

As they left the man’s house, they noticed the fire burning at the edge of town.

There was a tide of people fleeing in a complete panic. The group made their way towards the flames and it became clear there was more going on. Breaking through the crowd, they saw a dark elf in yet darker armor slaughtering the townguard.

“Already?” Said the elder brother as he prepared one of his most potent spells. With a swift motion, he launched it at the drow – the Finger of Death …only to have no effect whatsoever.

“What now?” Asked their friend, as the younger brother pulled his rapier.

We fight, that’s what.

Goal

Your saves are so high you might as well be immune to magic. Add to that your Spell Resistance, your high HP, your lower stratosphere AC, and your ability to throw darkness around. Not to mention your ability to debuff enemies in melee with your Aura of Despair, Dark Companion and more.

Ultimately, not even the best melee builds really want to fight you head on, and casters can’t do much against you either.
