Posted Oct 21, 2025It's incredible how so many DMs are ignoring the concept of setting up your own enemies. You don't have to use this exact stat block, that is one of the beautiful things about DMing, you're allowed to make an archmage with spell slots that has a list of spells. If you are an experienced enough DM to run a spellcaster with numerous spells and spell slots, you are also experienced enough to homebrew a little and give the archmage spells you want. However, this stat block is good for a DM that wants to just have a spellcaster that they don't have to keep track of as many things for.
