Can anybody please help me? Has anyone got any homebrew stats they could please post??
Hmm, seems to have disappeared from the boards though.
27th level epic Sorceress
With Mordy and Rary pushing that level I'd say she is better than that, given her background and longevity. she is considered a quasi-deity in one or two sources i've seen. I wouldn't have her lower than 30th level in any case. PrClass wise she would make a good Demonologist.
I'll page through it when I get home later tonight and let you know what's up after I mow my lawn. ;)
from Return of the Eight -
Iggwilv, "The Witch of Perrenland": Human female archmage of undefined level.
Description: Either ravishing beauty or bald hideous crone.
Known offspring: Iuz (with Graz'zt) and Drelzna (vampire-warrior, father unknown?)
Stats: supragenious intelligence, AD&D level of spell effects beyond 25th (2e).
She is said to be a master in fiend-summoning, planar exploration, and necromantic magic.
That's about it. There's a page of her history, and a list of sources:
T1-4 Temple of Elemental Evil
S1-4 Realms of Horror (pages 56-57, 78-79)
WG5 Isle of the Ape (pages 6, 8, 43-44)
WGR5 Iuz the Evil (page 3)

Enjoy checking out the sources :D
I haven't got around to statting her up - and since I don't use epic levels (though she deserves 'em if ANYBODY does) my stat-block will look a lot less impressive than most. Something like:
NE human female Sorceror 7, Adept 4, Geomancer 8, Shifter 1
(Casts as Sor 15, Adp 4)
(I know her common representation is CE, but she has always struck me as too cold-blooded, calculating and manipulative for that alignment. Her "witch" stereotype suggests something more like a sorceror than a wizard to me: having some (minor) divine talents seems to fit, though I use adept because neither cleric nor druid felt quite right... If I used 3.5 I could sub 'mystic theurge', but Geomancer is such a freaky class - a clear case of a character CHOOSING not to be human. Her free-and-easy use of shape-shifting is one of the few things about Iggwilv that's clearly chronicled, so I don't feel guilty about adding the Shifter level: her true form as a Geomancer is thus well-hidden. Not having 9th-level spells hurts quite a bit, but it's part of the price I pay to give her divine access, right?)

EGG seems to regard her as a demigoddess--see the Slayer's Guide to Dragons.
I'd be curious to learn about her worshippers.
Until then, I'd make her a straight Wizard-20.
How can she match up to Arch Fiends and Abyssal Lords? I'd consider giving her an Artifact. One that gives her more power and allows her to match wits with even the greatest of Fiends...
One of the qualities of this Artifact should be that the owner must have gained possession of it through non-combative means. I.E. Seduction. Perhaps she got it from Graz'zt...or perhaps Graz'zt is trying to gain ownership of it for the first time...
One of the Powers of the Artifact should be something akin to Compulsion...
Just some thoughts. Spruce up the old witch a bit...
