Teleportation (Ex)
Mark can use dimension door as a move action but isn't prevented from taking actions immediatly after teleporting.

Instantaneous Counterspell (Su)
Mark can counterspell as an immediate action.

Rogue Abilities (Ex)
Mark has these abilities as a rogue of 30th level:
Defensive Roll, Evasion, Improved Evasion, Improved Uncanny Dodge, Opportunist, Slippery Mind, Sneak Attack (but only +4d6 damage), Uncanny Dodge

Penetrate Damage Reduction (Ex)
Mark has a surprising ability to hit weak points in an opponents armor. All his attacks ignore damage reduction.

Pocket Redirection (Su)
Mark can redirect any effect that would harm him to an inanimate duplicate in a pocket dimension. If the duplicate already has a status condition (stunned for example) then Mark cannot redirect that same condition to the duplicate and will experience the effect himself (stunned in this case). If a dublicate is killed a new one can be created by 1 day of un-interrupted meditation.

Spell-Like Abilities
At will—blink, counterspell, quickened heal, celerity, true strike; 3/day— quickened timestop. Caster level 30th;

Tactics:
Mark relies primarily on his speed to make hit and run attacks, and uses his duplicate to allow him an extra action via celerity without the normal consequences.

Block, Greater Block, Improved Block, Counterstrike, Rapid Blocking, Deflect Blow and Perfect Block are from here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4052415#post4052415).
I need two things:
What's the CR of this little devil (I'm guessing 26-27)?
I really need a better name! Mark, while functional, isn't very evil.:smallyuk:
Any other comments/criticisms are welcome.

No idea what the CR on this would be.

As for a name... are you looking for a proper name, like Bob or species name, like Bugbear?

Propername: Mark, I dunno why.
Species Names: Reality Bender, seems reasonable.

Species: Hopper Demon
Personal: Fredriech

Why? I don't know. He sounds like a Fredriech. Someone can correct me on the spelling though.

I have honestly no idea about the CR for this little bugger. Personally, I wouldn't put it below 30. Magic would barely scratch himm, and with an armor class of 45,as well as at-will blink, true-strike (which means that he basically gets +56 to attack (Note, an attack that bypasses armor) if he takes a round to prep, or just preps inside one of those quickened timestops

Ok, since guessing CR is too hard I'll ask another question:
How many non-CO board 20th level characters would it take to kill this 50% of the time?
