yes to flyby "Arcana, Deception, Insight, Persuasion" sounds fine

Hit Points 104 (16d8 + 32) sounds good to me...must have been distracted while calculating,,,

yeah they sound good to add https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/4149146-baalphegor

going with DEX, WIS, CHA as it makes more sense thematically. Ditched class adjective for spells as suggested. Have gone with ability scores as suggested. I can't italicise "mage armor" if I write ", 16 with mage armor" in appending text to AC annoyingly

all sounds good and incorporated

Blargh - ignore my misuse of spellcaster appellations! Ok so did also think of "Thrall-exalted" as a name (exalted meaning high)...or just high thrall (the wings are supposed to be improved but "improved wings" sounds lame..."mighty/great/demoniac/unholy..?" xxx Wings of Pazuzu. The high...

Ok - statted up this so far...

Man I must have been hungover or very tired when looking. I missed some of these :LOL:

The other annoying thing is that 5e doesn't specify which dragons can polymorph, only "some". I can't find it discussed anywhere In my world, I've tied it all up in lore by making it a gift from Tiamat and Bahamut - gods derive power from numbers of (free-willed) followers. Hence a few dragon...

So quite commonly dragons (particularly gold, silver and bronze dragons) can change into a human(oid) form. When DMs incorporate this into their games...can dragons change into only one particular humanoid form or any humanoid form?

Ok, going with "Thrall of Pazuzu (Anointed)" - thinking CR 6 or 7. Also want to stat up an Anzu (CR 12?)

Yeah I was thinking along these lines too... Were you happy with my CR 7 statblock for scarlet death mist or did you want to buff it a little...

Got this so far... Baalphegor appears as a young female humanoid with cinnamon-brown skin, ruby-red eyes and a forked tail. She has small leathery wings as well as human feet instead of hooves. She has a calm demeanour and musical persuasive voice, maintaining a calm and even tone. When...
