Tony Snow is Grand Wizard, level 54

Tony Snow, the new White House Press Secretary, gave his first public address yesterday. Reporters were shocked to find that he is a Grand Wizard... a level 54 Grand Wizard that is.

"We hired Tony because of his special abilities that we thought were well suited to the press room."
- Dick Cheney, Vice-President of the United States and Dungeon Master to the President's Monday night D&D game.

Tony's biography lists his special abilities as:

• Ice Ray 12 (Deals 80 x 12 damage. Special Bonus: only consumes 5 MPs)
• Slither Tongues 27 (+350% chance of persuasion)
• The White Out (Blizzard blinds opponents, +275% chance to flee. Special Bonus: Deals 20 damage to each opponent)

Even more disconcerting than Snow's Raw Power is the fact that over the past 6 years the White House has denied entry to any reporter that is above a Level 3 Grunt. Simply put, the reporters don't have a chance.

Tony Snow 'Ices' another reporter

"I'm shocked, his Charisma and Intelligence levels are off the charts. And with the terrible Resist levels of those Level 1, 2 and 3 Grunts in the Press Room, I don't know how we are going to hear anything other than lies."
- Stewart Deepoindle, Creative Editor, Wizard's Lair Magazine

Experts estimate Tony Snow's character profile to look like this:

HP: 123 (Hit Points)
MP: 672 (Magic Points)
STR: 78 (Strength, for when he melees)
INT: 1457 (Intelligence, controls power of Magic)
WIS: 887 (Wisdom, controls number of spells)
CHR: 2046 (Charisma, ability to influence others)

High numbers to be sure but it certainly explains why in his first briefing he managed to use the racial term 'Tar Baby' without repercussion.

Experts estimate Snow draws his strength from the ever present snowing cloud situated just above his head. One can only hope to find a Wizard or a Cleric with a strong enough Hot Air Spell to blow the cloud away and save the day for us mere mortals.
