Plots & PlacesPost your PCs and NPCs for others to reference and enjoy. This is also an alternate location for long-term campaign and plot development. These can be system neutral or relate to any game or system.
No wonder he got everyone to surrender. I don't have the books in front of me right now, but I think you need to roll a 50 to get someone bent on killing you to be your best friend or something like that.
I am at work. I can not see your images or sigs. This is to help make my boss think I'm looking at work-related websites. If you want to help me out, put random snippets of Java code in your messages. Thank you in advance.
Yep. I feel that now is a good time to foreshadow some of its contents: after all, the PCs will soon be eligible for some of the stuff in it. Will also make the transition less abrupt.
Technically, Ortwin with an ECL of 22, already is eligible. Makes me a bit nervous.

Originally posted by Victim Um, something about Hullu seems bad. While it seems that Eadric could take him, mostly because of gear, he's still pretty tough.
However the real problem is that he's got an EGO 19 sword - that hates and wants to destroy all lawful creatures - with a +7 Will save. Not good odds.
Don't you love the way Sep hints to us, these little things without ever actually telling us he's hinting...
Sep, given the increased activity and presence of the wizards in the storyline, it would be great to peruse their stats: Rimilin, Shoemi, and Daunton in particular, although Troap would be cool too

Gaaaaaaaaa! I can't believe I didn't realize what could be done with something like that.

I'd like to request the geneology/history of the Kings of Wyre. Why is a 12-year-old on the throne? When was the kingdom founded, and by whom? Actually, I'd be happy with just the whys and wherefores of the current High Brat, but why not ask for everything? If there's 1/4 the thought that went into Wyrish religion applied to the kings, then there must be reams of paper laying about on the subject.
Pfff, who cares about Mulissu? She can't even cast Endure Elements. We want Shomei!!
Err, seriously, I would love to see Shomei's stats. A short account of her rise to power and how she became enamored with Devils would be nice too, but I'd be satisfied with her stats.

Titivilus, the Confuser, is the Nuncio of Dispater, who bears messages between his liege and both mortal disciples and other Devils alike. His reputation is such that even the Arch-Devils are wary of dealing with him, and he enjoys a degree of autonomy enjoyed by few other Dukes of Hell.
Titivilus appears in his natural form as a pale-skinned and ruddy-cheeked satyr, with short horns protruding from a bald or shaved head, and with stunted wings which protrude from his back which look too small to allow him to fly. When dealing with mortals, he generally assumes the guise of an aesthete, scholar or philosopher of forceful opinion and confident demeanour.
Titivilus is an enigmatic Devil, and he strives to maintain his inscrutability. He is known to be on favourable terms with Dukes opposed to Dispater’s camp, as well as other powerful entities who dwell outside of the Hells altogether. Amongst the Oronthonians his antiparallel is held to be the Celestial Salaiz, an Exemplar Deva who is a Captain in the twenty-third host under Chahel.
COMBAT
Titivilus prefers to avoid combat altogether, using his wits and guile and confusion ability to refrain from it. If necessary, he will use his spell-like abilities to eliminate foes as quickly as possible, though he will use his sword if pressed into melee. At the first sign of possible defeat, he will summon other devils to cover his escape. His general preferences for seduction, obfuscation, confusion and bewilderment mean that he would rather corrupt and turn foes against one another, than engage them directly. Nonetheless, if forced into a confrontation, his tactical mind and ability to exploit weakness is not to be underestimated.
Favoured combinations against very dangerous foes where escape is impossible include a quickened symbol of discord followed by a violated fire storm. Unholy Aura will be employed against good foes, and Titivilus will not hesitate to Gate in a Pit Fiend or Malebranche into the fray. Powerful spellcasters will be targeted ruthlessly with implosion, destruction and symbols. Quickened charm monster spell-like effects will be directed at Fighter-types.
Spell-Like Abilities: At will—animate dead, blasphemy, charm monster, create undead, desecrate, detect good, detect magic, dispel magic, hold person, hypnotism, improved invisibility, magic circle against good, major image, produce flame, polymorph self, pyrotechnics, see invisibility, suggestion, teleport without error (self plus 50 pounds of objects only), true seeing, tongues, unholy aura, unhallow, ventriloquism, and whispering wind; 1/day—feeblemind, symbol (any), and limited wish. These abilities are as the spells cast by a 20th-level sorcerer (save DC 17 + spell level).
Spells: Titivilus spontaneously casts spells as an 18th level Cleric with access to the Diabolic, Evil, Knowledge and Trickery domains. He does not need a Divine Focus for any spells which normally require them, and need not use material components if their value is less than 1000gp. Titivilus enjoys an effective experience point cushion of 5000xp per week when casting spells which have an xp component.
Outsider Traits: Titivilus has darkvision (60-foot range). He cannot be raised or resurrected.
Confusing Speech (Su): As a standard action, Titivilus may evoke a confusion effect in all creatures within 15 ft. by speaking aloud, unless they succeed at a Will save (DC 28). Even other devils are not immune to this effect. Those who successfully save cannot be affected for 24 hours.
Sublime Glibness (Ex): Titivilus is among the greatest of all diabolic liars. He receives a +30 competence bonus to all Bluff skill checks.
Fear Touch (Su): A creature touched by Titivilus must succeed at a Will save (DC 28) or be affected by a fear effect.
Summon Devils (Sp): Twice per day, Titivilus can automatically summon 1d4 erinyes.
Regeneration (Ex): Titivilus takes normal damage from holy and blessed weapons of at least +3 enchantment.
Baatezu Traits: Titivilus can communicate telepathically with any creature within 100 feet that has a language. He can see perfectly in darkness of any kind, even that created by deeper darkness spells. Titivilus is immune to fire and poison, and has cold and acid resistance 20.
I've also appended the Infernal Hierarchy. This is the outline document and doesn't go into much detail. My main Historical Sources were Dante's Inferno, the Lesser Key of Solomon the gnostic Testament of Solomon, the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage and the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum.
