Anyone know where I can find stats for Kalabash, one of Halaster's apprentices? There is no info on him in the book as far as I can find. It just lists him as "Kalabash (CE male Calishite human mage)." There's no mention of his level, spells, or anything.
Interesting. I'm not real familiar with 5e. So, "mage" means 9th level? I thought it was a generic term for an arcane caster. Does this mean every mage will have the exact same list of spells?
Sometimes when a campaign uses a stat block, they specify differences, such as: "has the spell color spray readied instead of detect magic". There are other arcane caster stat blocks, some of the same and some of different CRs, for instance Abjurer (CR9), Apprentice Wizard (CR1/4) Archmage (CR12), Biomancer (CR10), Conjurer (CR6) being the first in the list.
It's more important to look at CR than Level, since CR determines XP gained and what level of player is expected to take that enemy on. For instance, 1 CR 6 is intended to be an average fight for 4 level 6 party members. You can determine if a fight is an average challenge for a party by adding the total CR of all monsters together. If the CR is equal to the party's average individual level, then it's an average fight.

Thanks.
The "mage" part means that you use the Mage stat block.

Thank you very much for the reply.
