Drow Necromancer

I thought I'd post the Drow Necromancer I pit the group against a couple of sessions ago. I made him using Asmor's monster creator, and for powers I picked wizard powers reflavored to fit a necromancer, and some undead abilities (the Reanimate ability comes from the Deathlock wight. He never got to use it)

I learned some stuff. I thought the ability to negate an attack was too powerful so I made it recharge, but realized later that fights are so dynamic, and usually short, that having an ally close at hand was not always a possibility and therefore the power was not all that overpowered. The big bad death shroud should do half damage, as most area attacks do. I think tacking a weak status effect on the main ranged attack would not have been unbalancing and fit the encounter well, I think slow would work well. Without further delay, the Necromancer...
