Magic Resistance. The archmage has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Spellcasting. The archmage is an 18th-level spellcaster whose spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 17, +9 to hit with spell attacks), with access to a wide range of spells up to 9th level, including fireball, cone of cold, and time stop.
Dagger. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4+2) piercing damage.
How hard a fight? Against a party of four, a single archmage is deadly at levels 1–8, hard at levels 9–10, medium at levels 11–12 and easy at levels 13–18, and barely a challenge from level 19. Add allies or more foes in the encounter generator.
Where you'll find it: towns and cities.
