i have another idea... all of the above? ;) there are 333 gems of course... and we're not going to give attributes to each one or anything. we could say that each gem has its own power, useable 1/day, and list some examples of common effects, such as: functions like a metamagic rod, functions...

There’s one idea I had earlier… Also, here’s one side thought. I think that anything in the FC2 should be considered “core” for the Dukes. After all, anyone using the Dukes in 3.5 is likely to have FC2 anyway, right? :) Content from other books, we’d take on a case-by-case basis.

that's what we're starting with...

superficially metallic yes, but not of the same mettle (heh) as the good dragons. they'd have to be changed to be almost unrecognizable from what we wrote to make them all of good alignment.

any thoughts on CR? 21 like Amduscias?

i'm both finicky and unpredictable - don't ya love it? :) how about this setup? Ability Focus (fear touch), Combat Expertise, Combat Reflexes, Dark Speech, Dodge, Improved Feint, Mobility, Power Attack, Spring Attack

good guess? ;)

i'm absolutely in favor of Improved Feint. Dark Speech is definitely a feat for more than a few of the Dukes, and the Dukes of Avernus for certain. not sure if i'd go with anything from PHB2, as that is inaccessible for DMs who don't have it (like myself). ;) we usually skip non-core books...

Wow! I wasn’t even aware of that. Have we ever really remembered to use that before? :) And hey, look at me, I actually had some free time and was able to post in the morning! Am I not feeling well? ;) I think I had said somewhere before that I’d like Ability Focus (fear touch). I also...

no need - got 'em with me. ;) not sure how you got a +4 bonus to acting? i went with a +2 synergy for that unless you're sure it wasn't a mistake. how's this? Appraise +27, Balance +12, Bluff +40, Concentration +23, Diplomacy +48, Disguise +40 (+42 acting), Escape Artist +22, Gather...

his size and speed are fairly ordinary: Medium and 30 feet.

works for me. :) i'll make the correction to Amduscias when i update Malphas (hopefully tonight, *fingers crossed*) let's work on the ranks now... Bluff, Concentration, Diplomacy, Disguise, Escape Artist, Gather Information, Hide, Intimidate, Knowledge (religion), Knowledge (the planes)...

OK that works, and since we undoubtedly used the same logic with Amduscias, we will leave his weapon alone. :) I agree. How is this now? Summon Baatezu (Sp): Twice per day, Malphas can summon 3d6 abishai (of any color) or 2d4 malebranche automatically. This ability is the equivalent of a...

Landbound flows? ;) Do we want to go with 2 claws +34 melee (1d6+9) and bite +29 melee (1d8+4) then, or maybe bump that up to 1d8 and 1d10? Keen or improved critical? How about +4 on the weapon (some of the tougher dukes should have +5 or +6 absolutely, but Mal ain’t one of them). We’ll...

I agree, that is pretty weak. Not sure I want to open the can of worms of applying the flaming power on natural attacks. Maybe just increasing the base damage and/or giving it some minor special power (like Improved Grab or something). The raven form isn’t really his form for fighting –...

I’d be just fine with 2 claws +34 melee (1d6+9) and bite +29 melee (1d8+4). Ooh, good call. :) what else do we want to stack on top of that? Heavy pick +34 melee (1d6+9/x4) Yes, but he can only do that once per round. Giving him a flame arrow SLA is a bonus. Couldn’t hurt, could it...

I’m Creeping Death! Alternate form it is! let’s give that a start. I’m thinking he could be just a Medium sized-creature. Do we need to state anything more than what attacks he can use and the ability to fly? I would think that all powers he has should be useable in both forms. Alternate...

please do! :)

hey, sweet! :)

100/12 sounds good for the infernal fortress – it will be thicker than a typical Daern’s – but we should have the hardness as appropriate for the material. *** Ok, I thought about what Kain and Shade said. Giving him 3d6 fire damage, even activating it as a swift action, should be no problem...
