all sounds good and incorporated
Okay, I'll update the "Voice of Pazuzu" to get this
Exalted Thrall of Pazuzu train off the road…
Here's some initial brainstorming that came up with while I was updating the above.
The exalted thrall is a proficient spellcaster, so instead of the
Fiendish Blessing you proposed in the
Anointed Rough Draft I'd simply add
mage armor to her spells and include that in her Armor Class, i.e.:
Armor Class 12, 15 with mage armor
If you like the AC 16 of the rough draft, I'd bump the DEX up to 16 or 17, which'll also increase the rapier and dagger attacks' effectiveness, e.g.:
Armor Class 13, 16 with mage armor
DEX 16 (+3)
Indeed, I'd like the DEX and CHA to have the same ability modifier, because that means her magical attacks and her weapon attacks will have the same numbers which makes the Challenge Rating calculations a bit sounder.
Also, if her spells are Charisma-based, shouldn't the
Spellcasting say "sorcerer spells" instead of "wizard spells prepared"?
What did the regular Thrall use again…
Spellcasting. The thrall is a 4th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 12, +4 to hit with spell attacks). It has the following spells prepared.
…Oh, I dodged the issue by not mentioning a class.
Clever of me, or just lazy? No one gets to decide!
Indeed, we'd have to do something like that because the base thrall has a jumble of spells from different classes pick-and-mixed as we like. For example,
shield of faith is a spell on the
cleric and
paladin lists, it's not a wizard or sorcerer spell.
