I thought I would share an NPC from my campaign. An army is marchig on the PCs hometown of threshold and they are heavily outnumbered. There are some NPCs nearby they can go and recruit to help them out. The army is lead by a Dragonlord of Tiamts faith and this is his game stats.   I kind of merged th Mage stats in the DM PDF with the Knight and tweaked the stas, added a race and plugged in priest spells instead of arcane spells. The last champion of Tiamats faith they encountered died fast however to a maximised call lightning spell and the Ranger finished him off on her initiative with two bow shots. Probably need a more powerful NPC and/or put a lot of effort into the encounter design in terms of support from other NPCs and terrain set up.   Lord Hadrumat Crusader of Tiamat Medium Dragonborn, LE Armor Class 20 (plate+shield) Hit Points 58 (9d8+18) Speed 30 ft.   STR 18 (−1) DEX 10 (+2) CON 14 (+0) INT 12 (+1) WIS 17 (+3) CHA 11 (+0) Saving Throws Strength +6, Wis +6 Skills Arcana +6, History +6 Senses passive Perception 13 Languages Common, Draconic, Goblin, Challenge 6 (2,300 XP) Spellcasting. The Crusader is a 9th-level spell caster. Its spell casting ability is wisdom (spell save DC 14, +6 to hit with spell attacks). The Crusader has the following wizard spells prepared: Cantrips (at will): fire bolt, guidance, light, sacred flame, 1st level (4 slots): cure wounds, detect magic, guiding bolt, bane 2nd level (3 slots): misty step, suggestion 3rd level (3 slots): dispel magic, protection from energy, spirit guardians 4th level (3 slots): death ward, freedom of movement 5th level (1 slot): flame strike Longsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit:  (1d8+4) slashing damage   Leadership (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). For 1 minute, the knight can utter a special command or warning whenever a nonhostile creature that it can see within 30 feet of it makes an attack roll or a saving throw. The creature can add a d4 to its roll provided it can hear and understand the Crusader. A creature can benefit from only one Leadership die at a time. This effect ends if the Crusader  is incapacitated.   Reactions Parry. The Crusader adds 2 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, the Crusader must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.   Lord Hadrumat is represents a junior Dragonlord officer in Tiamats faith. Trained in blade and spell these members of Tiamats faith are mounted on true dragons as opposed to wyverns. Lord Hadrumet wheres a purple tabard with green trimmings over his armor.
