“Heydrech is 5' 11" tall — unusually tall for a nagpa — and he holds himself high, again unusual for one of his race. He has fine slate-grey feathering about his head and neck, and his hands are long-fingered and strong. His eyes arc unblinking, grey and cold, punctuating his continual sneer” Top Ballista Adventure Book page 14.
He is dressed in a cloak of fine silvery material and is wearing ornate gauntlets. An expensive looking shortsword scabbard is on his belt.
This conversion is not a mirror-conversion but rather one that maintains the ‘spirit’ of the original. For example, some magic items are replaced by careful spell selection and the Meistercloak is replaced by a simple Cloak of Invisibility.
Challenge. Def 90hp is 2 but AC21 is +4 = 6. Off DPR from cloud kill 90 plus a sword attack in rounds 2 and 3. (90+100+100)/3 = 97. So 14 but save DC 15 so Off is 13. Challenge 10.
