This Kuo-Toan Prince is the leader of the Kuo-Toan territory in the Western Tunnels of the Underdark. Gorion's Ward is tasked with retrieving the Noble blood to be used in a dark summoning ritual by Matron Mother Ardulace Despana.
Gameplay[]
The prince can fire kuo-toan bolts from his Light Crossbow.
If forced into melee, he wields a specific spear, though without being enchanted, that deals 1d6+8 piercing damage – including strength bonus – and will slow and Grease effect the target for 15 seconds if no save vs. spell is made.
The prince's staying power is quite robust due to mega-regeneration and damage resistance properties. Using fire-based damage is one of the better ways to accumulate hit point loss on the creature.
Defeating the creature provides some excellent gems, as well as the very versatile Bracers of Blinding Strike. You can also retrieve the Kuo-toa's Blood vial.
Notes[]
The Prince wears an undroppable Ring as well a second special ring (MISCA1.ITM) that provides some additional powers and protections, as follows:
- See the invisible
- Immune to Paralyze and Held effects
- Immune to Webbed effects
- Immune to Grease effects
- Immune to Slow effects
- Immune to 10 specific spells related to above
- Magical damage energy resistance 90%
- Physical damage resistance 33%
- Magic resistance 90%
- Regeneration of 10 Hit Points per second
- Blur effect
The many Kuo-Toan tadpoles in special pools empower the prince, granting him high resistance to magic and an extremely fast regeneration rate of 10 HP per second (60 per round!).
It is however possible to cut off that power by taking a few "Corrupted Tadpoles" that were set apart from the rest for being tainted and placing them into the pools with their healthy brethren. Doing so will cause the prince to lose both the resistance to magic and regeneration powers. Overall, The Prince has a very basic AI, poor THAC0, and is actually a dual-classed Cleric-Thief that has yet to unlock his Cleric levels — he needs to level up once more as a Thief! So, he is not much of a threat. When not weakened, his high regeneration and resistance to magic do require some personal attention so he can fall.

Mod content[]
This section is about unofficial content that is only available via fan-made mods.
The Sword Coast Stratagems Mod makes almost no changes to this creature. It adds an SCS default script to improve tactical response and behavior and gives the prince 1 pip of proficiency in Crossbow and Spear weaponry (which means he won't have a penalty using his weapons due to his assigned multi-class).
When the Prince is empowered, he attacks in melee combat as the primary method of damage dealing. If the Corrupted Tadpoles are used, his script switches to missile fire as the primary method.
