Flavor Text: Ah ha! See how you like my... what was I casting again?

A once powerful Wizard who's past his prime, but nevertheless he still wants to get out there and do some damage. His eyesight isn't too good, so his 'sight' is only 10 squares away and his joints hurt all the time, so shifting is pretty much out of the question. Some of his spells are quite powerful while others are a bit erratic. Lightning Chain acts similarly to the old Tiefling Warlock's Eldrich Chain, except the 2nd target can be an enemy or an ally, and can even be the wizard himself. Since all spells are either Ranged or Area, there's never a question about aoo's.

Thinking about how you'd have to play this guy, I'm not entirely sure if he's worth it. Great damage potential, but potentially too random and limited for serious play. However, I would have a great time using this guy (or even 2!) in a casual game.

The Avolkia is nice but needs a better AB and defenses.

And Tough to kill requires two saves, doesn't it?

83 sounds high but understandable in some way... I can't say over mid 70's without a slight hp ac increase though... I can't stand pieces that have lots of tricks (and this one does) but can't use em as they die first. 95hp and 25 is still autokill by 3 skullcleaves and a few other combos.

He has +5 att and +4 att over dire tiger and that one costs 60 points. Minotaur deals 55 dmg and can charge casters (and he'll prolly kill them too) hiding in the back of opponent's army without any hinderance. Someone like Mordy or Pyromancer is totally screwed. He's also civ, so Hob Marshal can move him even deeper into enemy territory.

Plus, to all of that, he gives either two more attacks, or rerolls 2 attacks.

83 may be too much but he definitely can't go under Dire Tiger.
