Rammaq, an ancient demilich titan

Rammaq (male neutral evil demilich wizard) is an NPC in the Mask of the Betrayer expansion campaign.

"This floating skull has rare and valuable gems embedded in its eye sockets and teeth. The aura of malevolence the creature emanates is almost overpowering."

Mask of the Betrayer[]

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Rammaq was an ancient titan, originally living during the Age of Giants (hence his large size as a demilich). He has been an undead mage for a very long time, and has repeatedly sought to become a demigod, to no avail. He joined in Akachi's crusade as a lieutenant in the hopes of being able to obtain several tomes stored in Eternity's End in order to reach apotheosis. The crusade was foiled, but he managed to flee Myrkul's wrath and continued to search for a means of becoming a god.

When the time for the Third Crusade was at hand, Rammaq returned to the Fugue Plane to resume what Akachi started, in hopes of trying again to obtain the Tome of Ka'Tai and the Tome of the Dolorous Sage. After the initial wave, he and his soldiers headed to Eternity's End.

The PC has a number of chances of foiling Rammaq's crusade, possibly even killing him. The player can allow the books to be lost, and under some conditions Rammaq will see betrayal and attack. If the player retrieves one or both tomes, Rammaq sends an undead minion to assist at the Wall of the Faithless, while he leaves to work to apotheosis.

His fate also affects the fate of Kaelyn in the epilogue; if he lives, and she continues to crusade against the wall, he will later betray her in a future crusade This results in her siblings getting pulled into the Abyss, leaving her a mute and broken woman.

There are multiple variants of Rammaq:

Notes[]

  • This is the default Rammaq blueprint.
  • Has no Weapon Proficiency (creature) and thus can't use his demilich slam. Attacks with regualr unarmed strike, provoking attacks of opportunity.
  • Despite all the "titanic demilich on the path to godhood" grandeur, Rammaq has lower challenge raiting than a regular humanoid demilich.

Notes[]

  • So called uber-Rammaq strangely knows no level 7-9 spells (and barely any of levels 5-6) and has minimal feats but is very good at epic spells.

Notes[]

  • Despite being undead, all variants lack Darkvision.
  • Rammaq has seemingly unfinished unused script that additionally allows him to script-cast following spells at will: Enervation (caster level 10), Harm (caster level 11, can be used on enemy or on self), Greater Planar Binding (caster level 15), Summon Creature IX (caster level 17).
