As a powerful spellcasterand ruler of a nation,the Simbul has access toincredible resources andcan acquire or makealmost any nonartifactitem she might need,given time.Alassra Silverhand, oneof the Seven Sisters whoare the Chosen of Mystra,is known to Faerûnianstoday only as the Simbul.She is the Queen of Aglarond(called by some “theWitch-Queen,” and manybelieve this latter term ispart of her official title) andhas legendary powers of sorceryand a temper to match.She mastered metamagic long,long ago, and has single-handedlydefeated attacking Thayan armieswith titanic combinations ofspells. King Azoun IV ofCormyr called the Simbul“a good friend, but a deadlyenemy.” She is currently the loverof the famous (or if you prefer, infamous) wizardElminster of Shadowdale. Thanks to his love, she hasmitigated the worst of her dark berserker rages, whichmakes her even more formidable in battle—she’s stillfearless, but no long heedless of the damage she causes.She still seems more driven to master magic thananyone else in Faerûn ... and seems quite likely to continueto do so.The Simbul flits tirelessly around Toril and evenother planes, never adhering to any routine, shapechangingat will (often wearing the form of a blackraven). As herself, she’s heedless of personal appearance,and is usually barefoot or adventurer-booted, andclad only in a tattered black robe. Her hair is always awild, tangled mess. Even in her realm of Aglarond,people fear her, avoid her, and think her insane. RedWizards have been known to faint at the mere thoughteffacing her in battle. In this, if in nothing else, theirjudgment is wise.SZASS TAMMale Lich Necromancer 10/RedWizard 17/Archmage 2: CR 31;Medium-size undead; HD 29d12+25;hp 211; Init +2; Spd 30 ft.; AC 31,touch 16, flat-footed 29; Atk +17/+12melee (1d6+2, staff of power) or +15melee (1d8+5 [Will DC 25 half] plusparalysis, lich touch) or +17/+12ranged touch (by spell); SA Paralyzingtouch, fear aura; SQArcane reach, spell power+2, immunities, turn resistance+8, DR 15/+1, Specialistdefense (Necromancy)+4, spell power(Necromancy) +8, circleleader, Scribe Tattoo, greatcircle leader, undead traits;AL NE; SV Fort +12, Ref +14,Will +25; Str 11, Dex 14, Con—, Int 22, Wis 20, Cha 20.Height 6 ft.Skills and Feats: Alchemy +26,Concentration +25, Craft (gemcutting)+ 16, Diplomacy +7,Heal +9, Hide +10, Intimidate+ 11, Knowledge (arcana) +26,Knowledge (architecture andengineering) +11, Knowledge(Thayan history) +16, Knowledge(religion) +11, Listen +15,Move Silently +10, Profession (herbalist)+9, Profession (sailor) +9, Scry +26,Search +20, Sense Motive +13, Spellcraft +32, Spot+ 15, Swim +2, Wilderness Lore +7; Craft Staff, CraftWand, Craft Wondrous Item, Improved Spell Capacity(10th), Improved Spell Capacity (11th), Increased TurnResistance, Maximize Spell, Mind Over Body, QuickenSpell, Scribe Scroll, Signature Spell (animate dead),Skill Focus (Spellcraft), Spell Focus (Evocation), SpellFocus (Necromancy), Spell Mastery (animate dead, coneof cold, control undead, magic missile, teleport), TattooFocus (Necromancy).Paralyzing Touch (Su): Creatures touched mustAPPENDIX 1:EPIC NPCSOF FAERÛN297
