TACTICS

Before Combat He prepares for battle by casting mage armor, shield, and false life (these have already been figured into his statistics). He then animates any corpses he has handy and readies his spectral hand with vampiric touch.
During Combat He attempts to stay out of combat as much as possible, preferring to let his undead creations and subordinates do the fighting as he uses his offensive spells and wand of magic missile from the far side of the room.
Morale He abandons his allies if brought below 10 hit points or if his defeat seems imminent, in which case he casts dimension door to escape.
