Pooky is the imp familiar of Sorcerous Amon and a member of an adventuring party that's found on the second floor of the Den of the Seven Vales.
| “ | A good jest, says Smelly! A good jest, he says! | ” |
Gameplay[]
The imp seems to enjoy messing with the half-orc member of the group, Smaeluv Orcslicer, by calling him "Smelly". It will mock Smaeluv after he makes a comment following Mencar Pebblecrusher's deriding statement towards whichever party member first enters Mencar's sight.
If you decide to refrain from allowing hostilities to breakout and defuse the situation, attempted conversation with the imp will give it another opportunity to mess with the half-orc.
Pooky is a spell casting creature with several disabling and defensive options available if a fight breaks out. At the outset, if able, Pooky will self protect with Protection From Normal Missiles and Stoneskin. If any enemies are in sight range, the Imp will target the creature with AOE spells including Confusion (wizard) and Slow. If it can, it will also deploy a Spell Thrust and a Remove Magic. If still alive, it will also try a Dire Charm and a Charm Person spells.
Dialogue[]
"Heeheehee! I stole somethings from Smelly, I did!"
- "What?! What did you steal from Smaeluv, devilish imp?!"
"Pooky stole Smelly's brains while he sleeping! Heeheehee! Smelly won't miss 'em!"
- "Blast you, imp! I shall grind you into powder if you continue these taunts! And my name is Smelly—er, Smaeluv! Arrhhhh!"

Mods[]
Installation of the Sword Coast Stratagems Mod makes some revisions to the creature. The Imp is now a Level 8 Specialist Mage with an Enchanter Kit. It is assigned an SCS "Smarter Mage" AI, for better threat recognition for defensive purposes, and will see creatures who are vulnerable to its spell casts. It will not waste spells upon immune enemies, but instead seek another target, or try and remove the defenses first. A new memorized arsenal of spells is provided, with a lean towards enchantment options. Remember, as an enchanter, the party's saving throws will be penalized by 2 against the Enchantment School because of this.
Pooky will initiate an instant buff with Protection From Normal Missiles and Stoneskin.
Pooky has a prepared Minor Sequencer readied with Ray of Enfeeblement and Blindness, which it will use if able.
If the Spell Revisions mod is installed Pooky's spells will be the SR versions.
