This is also a Soul Object storing 20,000 QP.TacticsIf given time to buff before combat, Juiblex casts spell turning, and uses his unholy aura and summon monster IX (to summon a hezrou) spell-like abilities.Under unholy aura, Juiblex's saves become: Fort +35, Ref +32, Will +34, and good creatures who successfully attack Juiblex in melee take 1d6 Strength damage (Fort DC 30 negates).Juiblex opens combat with his Superior Acidic Breath (unless he has reason to expect his opponents to be protected from acid). If he does expect opponents to be protected, he will use horrid wilting (against multiple opponents) or disintegrate (against a single foe). After using his breath, he will cast one of the above spells/spell-like abilities. If still not in melee, he will use waves of exhaustion.Retinue/Servants/ForcesJuiblex is served by relatively few demons, compared to the other demon lords - most of these are hezrou and dretches. An advanced 30 HD Huge hezrou (CR 21) is the leader of Juiblex's troops. Juiblex's realm also includes manes, but these are not really useful forces.Most of Juiblex's minions are oozes of some sort, a few of whom have been granted intelligence by Juiblex in some unknown way.By the guidelines on Ascension p. 22, Juiblex (ECL 62, Cha mod +6) would have a base Leadership Score of 74, allowing him a cohort of up to ECL 42 (CR 28) and up to seven sub-cohorts of average ECL 23.5 (ECL range 21-26, CR range 14-17).However, Juiblex is known to lack minions compared to other demon lords, so a maximum advancement Hezrou (CR 21 at 30 HD = ECL 32) is probably suitable for his cohort, though technically underpowered. Standard nalfeshnees (CR 14) are the right power level for sub-cohorts, perhaps exiles or those fleeing from other realms of the Abyss.</blockquote>
