| Notes |
As the son of one of Korvosa’s most hated criminals and the man behind the city’s most recent unsolved serial killings, Rolth Lamm is unrelentingly despicable.
Rolth is a foul man by any definition of the term. Pale and blotchy from scars caused by various diseases he’s exposed himself to (either by accident or design), Rolth wears thick leather robes lined with dozens of pockets that bulge with surgical and mortician tools, and is always ready and eager for new opportunities to study the ways in which flesh can be altered, enhanced, and cut away. To Rolth, every portion of a living body is an incomplete work of art, and if knives are the tools he uses to prepare his medium, then the colors, scents, and textures that decay brings are his tools to finish the job.
Before Combat
Rolth casts shield, mage armor, and false life before combat.
During Combat
Rolth prefers to let allies fight in melee, so he can hang back and use spells at range. He prefers to leave foes alive but incapacitated so he can kill them at leisure with his knife. A successful casting of hold person is his favorite method of enabling sneak attacks.
Morale
If reduced to fewer than -3 hit points, Rolth flees via dimension door; if he escapes, he can become a recurring antagonist who seeks to add the PCs to his collection of undead servants.
