Updated the Exalted Thrall of Pazuzu.

Updating the Modronoid Working Draft. Better check what skills Base Modrons have in Third Edition first. Let's see, in the 3.5 Dragon #354 their skills are: Monodrones have Craft (any one) +1, Listen +2, Spot +2. Duodrones have Craft (any one) +1, Listen +3, Spot +3. Tridrones have Listen...

Updated the Exalted Thrall of Pazuzu. So first question: are you giving it Flyby or not? Next is Skills. For some reason, the Anointed only has Arcana & History, while the regular Thrall of Pazuzu has Deception, Insight & Persuasion. That's more in line with the original prestige class's...

Looking good! Updated the Baalphegor Working Draft. Just noticed a couple more minor inconsistencies. The Mistress of Mephistar. in Description is missing the " " em-indentation at the start of the paragraph. More significantly, the Credit is different from the Enworld version, which uses...

Next up is Hit Points. Your rough draft is a 10 Hit Dice creature, but that's fewer HD than the original monster would have. A creature must be 6th level or higher to meet the Thrall of Pazuzu Requirements. To qualify requires 9 ranks in Bluff and Diplomacy, and the max ranks a 3E creature can...

We'll just have to make do with it unitalicized. Checking the SRD, it used parentheses for the armour-boosting spell of the NPC Druid so I'll changed the Enworld working draft to "Armor Class 13 (16 with mage armor)" accordingly.

Okay, Abilities. The regular Thrall has two odd and four even (Str 11, Dex 14, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 13, Cha 14), so I'm tempted to invert that for the Exalted Thrall and give it four odd and two even. Maybe Str 11, Dex 16, Con 15, Int 13, Wis 15, Cha 16? For Saving Throws, I'm dithering...

Okay, I'll update the "Voice of Pazuzu" to get this Exalted Thrall of Pazuzu train off the road… Here's some initial brainstorming that came up with while I was updating the above. The exalted thrall is a proficient spellcaster, so instead of the Fiendish Blessing you proposed in the Anointed...

Hold on a moment, let me triple check… Huh, where's her Tail attack gone to? The D&D Beyond version is completely missing the: Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d6 + 5) force damage plus 22 (4d10) poison damage. If the target is a creature, it must...

Exalted is good. Shall we use that? We don't really need to specify the fly speed in the trait, since the standard thrall's Wings of Pazuzu doesn't include that detail. It's simpler just listing its fly speed in its Speed line. I would give it a flight speed of 60 ft. (hover) though, since...

Looks good to go, except the Legendary Action Summon Devil(s) is Summon Devils in the Enworld version. I'd use the plural version to match the plural used for the comparable Archdevil power of Summon Underlings. I've deblued the Baalphegor Working Draft and will update the Index of 5th Edition...

Y'okay. I'll put in "Advancement: 17–23 HD (Huge); 24–48 HD (Gargantuan) or by character class" and change the Master Slaiyith paragraph by having it start "The most powerful slaiyiths are the Master Slaiyiths, ancient beings with powers far beyond a normal slaiyith. An average master slaiyith...

Well I've long considered storm of vengeance as being pretty useless for its spell level. It doesn't do much damage (15d6 to six targets, or 10d6 if the target saves against lightning, and 5d6 against everything else plus its hindering effect affect you or your allies inside the storm as much...

So this: 8th—dimensional lock, demandᴰ, earthquake, greater spell immunity, polymorph any object, reverse gravity; Works for me. Updating Opal the Sun Dragon Working Draft. I'd forgotten to add the 6th and 7th-level cleric spells spells we'd agreed, so did those at the same time.

Okay, continuing with the Scarlet Death. I think it prudent to base it on the Third Edition version from Monster Manual II (2002), since that's the only official version that's explicitly undead. Here's the original stats for our convenience: The incorporeal traits could easily be...

Okay, I've blued all the "finished text" in the Baalphegor Working Draft.

I'm fine leaving in the bit about her feet. We're publishing these digitally so an extra sentence won't increase the printing cost and Mr Greenwood seemed to think it necessary. Did notice that the Enworld Baalphegor had an "its" that should be "her" in Legendary Actions as follows: Baalphegor...

Eh? The one we just finished was more a sorcerer-type spellcaster. It doesn't have any invocations like eldritch blast. If we did go for an eldritch-blasting approach we could call it a Thrall of Pazuzu Warlock. Works for me, but that can wait until we've finished the Powerful Pal of Pazuzu.*...

Sure, I'd be game to do an Anzu. Is Challenge Rating 12 enough though? The original 3E Anzu was CR 15, which is between a Nalfeshnee Demon (CR 14 in 3E, CR 13 in 5E) and a Marilith (CR 17 in 3E, CR 16 in 5E). That suggests it would be Challenge 14 (11,500 XP) in Fifth Edition. Which'd make...

Don't care for Anointed Thrall of Pazuzu as "Anointed" as it carries too many connotations of royal or divine unction. Preferred your original proposal of High Thrall of Pazuzu, so how about a synonym of high such as Eminent Thrall of Pazuzu? My initial idea was Elevated Thrall of Pazuzu, but...
