I don't have the reference in front of me, but I believe that Zhengyi the Witch-King was statted in H-4 The Throne of Bloodstone. This is a second edition product, and to my knowledge, Zhengyi's stats have not been converted to 3.X.

Page 19 of the above mentioned tome lists him as a Lich, former 30th level magic user.

Yeah, second edition was fun that way. Lich's were monsters. If I recall correctly, he had base number of hit dice for a lich too, rather than upgraded to higher. Although he had far more hit points than the average for that hit die total.

Were one to update his stats to 3.0 or 3.5 he would be far more frightening.

Well, I once did his stats briefly since I'm going to use him in my campaign... Happy to share if ye want.

And yes, he DOES have a wizard caster level of 30, with a Necromancy specialization
Hes a rather scary fellow though... So don't use him lightly.

For 3.0 or 3.5e? Regardless, I think many scribes would be happy to see the stats you created. Please share them if you get the chance.

Thanks for the info alllot .He is quite powerful I would have thought him weaker because it does not describe him to much in the FR Campaign Setting other than he conquerd Vassa and Dammara for a time...

I can't recall, but what was the time frame for when the Bloodstone events took place?

1357 to 1359 according to the FRCS. Also Green Giant had stat'd Zheng'i about 2 weeks back but all of his conversions are on the WOTC boards.

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I knew that the time period was awhile back, but didn't realize it was that far. Thus, I wonder if that might be one of the reasons Zhengi is not mentioned as much in the FRCS.

Probably, plus I think he's dead?...... :)

Another key element, but he could always return in the next FR product like many others once thought lost.

With the way things that were thought "lost" are returning, it wouldn't surprise me in the least. :)

According to FR-9, Zhengyi's Castle Perilous arose in the frozen tundra of Vaasa in late 1347, and his armies roared through Bloodstone pass in spring of 1348. The war against the Witch-King rages across the duchies of Brandiar and Soravia for almost 10 years, until the battle at the Ford of Goliad in 1357, when King Virdin was betrayed and the Damaran army was shattered. Thence followed the Night of Sated Blades, when the vast majority of Damaran nobility was slain in a single night by the Assassin's Guild.

You are right the FRCS does also say he rose in 1347 but the rest of my dates were right as well.
