This misshapen humanoid has large luminous eyes from many years of living underground. It's dressed in scraps of mismatched cloth in an apparent attempt to make a crude patchwork robe. While not overly muscled, its eyes shine with a crude intelligence.

Hunting strategies

You *MUST* be quick to stun them. As a rogue ambusher, I go for a leg right off the bat. With these Shaman though, this might not happen fast or easily for the folowing reason:

The very seldom are below a defensive stance and they average a DS of 240-245!

If you remain hidden and they don't find you as they 'search' nervously, wait...they will sometimes kneel to perform some kind of prayer-like thing, or hteir spell of protection disipates, or they do one more thing I can't remember at the moment that puts them at a lower DS disadvantage. THEN you strike!

They will remain stunned for 3 or 4 rounds and you can take a head off (if ambushing).
