Description
[edit | edit source]"Abra... has bright-green eyes, and her bronze scales are tinged with aquamarine blue. She typically wears a patchwork robe."[1]
Personality
[edit | edit source]She is "crusty and irascible."[1][note 2]
Abilities
[edit | edit source]Though she is not given specific class levels, Abra is instead listed as an "archmage" which is given a statblock and referred to as an "18th-level spellcaster" in the Basic Rules (2014), and has "wizard spells prepared".[4] In the Monster Manual (2024) the archmage is specifically called a wizard.[5] She can cast level 9 spells, which equates to at least a 17th-level wizard.[6]
Activities
[edit | edit source]During business hours, Abra is most frequently found at her "high"[1][2] and "impressive"[3] desk which sits on a large, raised platform[1][2][3] made of marble[3] inside the entrance in the main hall.[1]

[edit | edit source]In the Legends of Greyhawk organized play campaign (2025+), Abra Saghast is a pivotal NPC in the first Domain of Greyhawk adventure released after the previews when the campaign first opened (31 July 2025, GenCon). Shadows over the Free City (BMG, 2025), by Pamela Punzalan, featured Abra as a pivotal character. [7]
