Tzeentch Lord-Sorcerer

Saves: Willpower +13, Intellect +12

Proficiencies: Lore +12, Guile +11, Command +10

Architecture of Fate. At the start of each round, one battlefield truth changes: a door, a sightline, an alliance, a memory. The GM chooses; the party adapts.

Wards Beyond Counting. Whenever the lord-sorcerer takes damage, reduce that damage by 5 (minimum 1). The first psychic attack against him each round fails outright, and critical hits against him become normal hits.

All Outcomes Serve. When bloodied, he does not weaken; he reveals what this fight was actually for and gains one new capability from the revelation — an extra action each round, a new power with Willpower Save DC 17, or a summoned bodyguard, GM's choice.

Storm of Change. Warp-lightning arcs to up to three targets within 90 feet. Each makes a Willpower Save DC 17, taking 3d10 warp damage and suffering a minor mutation with Corruption exposure on a failure, or half damage on a success.

Rewrite the Board. The lord-sorcerer teleports up to two units, allied or enemy, within 60 feet up to 30 feet each; an unwilling target makes a Willpower Save DC 17 to resist.

The Offer. He speaks privately into one character's mind: a true bargain with a real price, terms set by the GM. Refusal costs nothing but the knowledge that it was real.

Ninth Correction. Once per round, when an enemy within 90 feet uses a psychic power, the lord-sorcerer may force that psyker to make a Willpower Save DC 17; on a failure, the power discharges at a point he chooses instead.

Morale: Cannot lose in any way he acknowledges; when defeated, he departs through a fold in the scene, and something the party believed about the arc is revealed to be his work.

Tactics: Run this as an objective encounter, never a straight fight: a ritual to interrupt, anchors to break, a bargain to refuse, a lie to disprove. His direct attacks are the least dangerous thing about him — the battlefield rewrites and The Offer are the real pressure. Every round he holds the initiative, the party should learn something they wish were false.

Loot / Evidence / Hooks: Nothing he leaves behind is unplanned; his abandoned staff, grimoire, or ring is the opening move of his next scheme.

A Tzeentch Lord-Sorcerer is a high sorcerer whose plans are also weapons; every engagement he fights is a sentence in an argument he is winning somewhere else. Killing him is difficult; mattering to him is harder.

Use this enemy as the campaign boss of a Tzeentchian arc, met at the center of a scheme the party has spent sessions misunderstanding.

Extreme psychic offense and control, layered wards and false images, teleportation, mutation and Corruption pressure, reality distortion, commands Rubricae, cabals, and daemons.
