Greetings


The north box set makes a small reference to a lizard man lich in the mere of dead men is this just a plot hook or does a write up of said lich exists Name, classes, levels etcetera? Any background info on this lich would be most appreciated thanks.

Redeye appears to be his name, however no stats appear to be available for him.

If it is Redeye then he was given stats. :)

Redeye, 7th Cleric, Male Lizardman, TN, Shaman of the Lizardman of Lizard Marsh, Under Illefarn

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

7th level Lich? no way!

No stats in _The North_ download, he is listed as a true Rumor if the DM wants to use him, thus make rummor true. Perhaps there are stats someplace else.

Hmm a little more search offers this http://paizo.com/dungeonissues/126/DA126_Supplement_LR.pdf on Redeye, who might not be a lich anymore acording to 3.X stat block.

Oh he is now : Male lizardfolk barbarian 6/divine champion 1

Under Illefarn is a very old adventure, from 1e actually if I remember correctly. Character levels have undergone many fluctuations between editions.

Version 2 of Redeye
Redeye: Male Lizardfolk Lich Clr11; CR 14; Medium Undead (Augmented Humanoid, Reptilian); HD 13d12; hp 127; Init +3; Spd 30 ft.; AC 22 (touch 13, flat-footed 19); Base Atk +9; Grp +12; Atk +13 melee (1d8+4, +1 Heavy Mace); Full Atk +13/+8 melee (1d8+4, +1 Heavy Mace) and +7 melee (1d4+1, Bite); Face/Reach 5 ft./5 ft.; SA Damaging Touch, Fear Aura, Paralyzing Touch, Rebuke Undead; SQ Lizardfolk traits, Lich Traits, DR 15/bludgeoning and magic; AL NE; SV Fort +7, Ref +9, Will +11; Str 16, Dex 16, Con --, Int 15, Wis 18, Cha 19.
Skills and Feats (counting all modifiers except equipment and attributes): Balance +5, Climb +2, Concentration +10, Hide +8, Jump +5, Knowledge (Arcana) +7, Knowledge (Nature) +3, Knowledge (Religion) +5, Listen +8, Move Silently +8, Search +8, Sense Motive +8, Speak Language (Common, Draconic, Aquan), Spot +8, Survival +2, Swim +9.

Touch Attack (Su): Negative energy damage for 1d8+5 points of damage to living creatures; a Will save (DC 18) halves the damage. A lich with natural weapons can use its touch attack or its natural weapons, as it prefers. If it chooses the latter, it deals 1d8+5 points of extra damage on one natural weapon attack.
Fear Aura (Su): Liches are shrouded in a dreadful aura of death and evil. Creatures of less than 5 HD in a 60-foot radius that look at the lich much succeed on a Will save (DC 18) or be affected as though by a Fear spell at 13th level. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same lich’s aura for 24 hours.
Paralyzing Touch (Su): Any living creature a lich hits with its touch attack must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 18) or be permanently paralyzed. Remove Paralysis or any spell that can remove a curse can free the victim (see the Bestow Curse spell, page 203 of the PHB). The effect cannot be dispelled. Anyone paralyzed by a lich seems dead, though a DC 20 Spot check or a DC 15 Heal check reveals that the victim is still alive.
Cleric Spells Prepared (6/6+1/5+1/5+1/4+1/2+1/1+1; base DC = 14 + spell level, 15 + spell level for Evocation spells; caster level 11th).

Possessions: Silver Holy Symbol (Semuanya), +2 Large Wooden Shield, +1 Heavy Mace, other possessions unknown.
Height: Unknown, Weight: Unknown, Hair: None, Eyes: Unknown.
Conversion Note: Redeye is listed as Clr7 in N5 Under Illefarn with Str 15, Int 13, Wis 16, Dex 15, Con 14, Cha 18 and +1 Mace. Rumors in the North boxed set, says Redeye has become a Lich.

I noticed that too. It reminds me of this older, obscure module:

http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=1080&

which features a vampiric lizard "big bad".

I think I have that one somewhere...

Hmmm, maybe incorporate that into the Lizard Marsh with my players...

Thanks for reminding me about that one, just have to look for it now.

Greetings


Excellent responses one and all thanks so much for the quick replies, of all the versions of red eye presented I think that warlockcos Cleric 7th version bests suites my campaign with just a little tweaking. I could just drop Encounter at Black wall keep right into the mere of dead men for my water deep campaign, but I think that’s a bit easy. I think ill use red eye as a recurring villain in the mere of dead men he’s on a quest to become a lich working his way toward something like , warlockcos version two and must be stopped.

Glad to be of help.
I also have a good number of NPCs from the Daggerford Area done up in the NPC thread too.

See if you can bug Reefy for his stats :D

We ran through the mere of dead men campaign (converted to something like 3.2e) and I'm sure we met the shaman.
Having said that if I remember rightly we were captured by the lizardmen, and then talked to them, where I 'think' the shaman Redeye asked us to do something. My memories a little hazy on it, but that might have been the lead on to the adventure with the Penangalan.

I forget exactly how it all came together, and I'm rambling sorry :) The moral of the story is: Ask Reefy, but don't say I sent you, he'll eat me

I have placed the Tomb of the Lizard King in the Vast Swamp in Cormyr. In my campaign Sakatha (Lizardfolk Vampire Sorcerer 10) fought on the side of the Witch Lords in 900 DR, when Cormyr triumphed with the aid of the elves against the host of those dreaded necromancers. The final battle, described in the novel Cormyr by Ed Greenwood, took place on the outskirts of the Vast Swamp. During the final confrontation, King Galaghard slew Sakatha, whose final curse was directed against the King and the Glory of Cormyr (the nobles).
