Description
A more powerful version of Warduke for combat against higher level players.
Alignment. Chaotic evil.
Personality Trait. “I speak with the flames and razor-sharp edges of my sword. They beat words to hell.”

Combat Notes
Warduke likes to hit things with his sword; it’s as simple as that.
League of Malevolence
The League of Malevolence is an odious assemblage of villains united in one purpose: the accumulation of power. Its founding member, the sorcerer Kelek, expects his confederates to work together for their mutual benefit, but he also encourages them to pursue their own evil schemes.
