Claudius Encounter

Claudius can be used in many ways. He has good spells, good normal attacks, overall not specializing in anything particularly. Ideally he should cast Tick Tock on any turn he can. You should have him bait the PCs by casting spells from a distance before then fighting with his Unholy Runeblade.

Optional:

Variant: Strengthened. How about giving him a shield? Or some healing or gap closing abilities (like a teleportation spell?). Or you could even give him legendary actions. Now THAT would make things interesting. The picture shows him having plate mail and wings. Give him those!

Variant: Summon Demon (1/Day): Claudius chooses to summon 1d3 vrocks, 1d2 hezrous, or one glabrezu. A summoned demon appears in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of its summoner, acts as an ally of its summoner, and can't summon other demons. It remains for 1 minute, until it or its summoner dies, or until its summoner dismisses it as an action.

Variant: Speedy clock: Time isn't always so slow. Have Tick Tock do the same damage but in half the time!

Loosely based off Glabrezu template.

Example deadly encounter for 4 lvl 11 players would be Claudius + 2 Hellhounds.
