Description: The hobgoblin witch doctor can sometimes be one of the hardest hitting enemies in quests of its level, with the ability to cast Ray of Enfeeblement to overburden low strength characters, and their scorching ray attack which allows no saving throw. Furthermore, the fact that they start out stealthed can give them the upper hand when hiding behind groups of other hobgoblins. Fortunately, they do not possess many hitpoints, and go down in only a few hits.
