Message: <blockquote data-quote="Khuxan" data-source="post: 4017755" data-attributes="member: 38801">I have never bought a product from Eternity Publishing. I will never buy a 3.5 product from Eternity Publishing. My friends have enough trouble doing the maths and number-crunching at level 10, let alone level 20, let alone level 30 or beyond. The promise in this pit fiend is that high-level adventuring will finally be an option.I don't need a pit fiend that can create mohrgs. If I want him to have mohrgs, I will give him mohrgs. I don't need an entry for create undead clogging up his combat statblock. Likewise, I don't want to remember that he has unholy aura cast, and how that affects his stats. If he needs a +4 deflection bonus to AC, just give him one. Do we need to know how good a pit fiend is as surviving in the wilderness? How many chums he can feed by harvesting berries and catching small game? What is the pit fiend missing? I agree it seems to lack some variety in its tactics, but it still has a range of things it can do.Difficulty for difficulty's sake might make you feel intelligent and organised, but it puts the continuation of this hobby at risk. I DM for intelligent, organised 16 and 17 year-olds and they are missing out on a large spectrum of game play because they are casual gamers that haven't been bothered to master the intricacies of high-level play.I agree, the pit fiend seems to lack a few combat options. He can attack, blow up minions, teleport minions, summon minions and reduce defences. I could do with a couple more special abilities - but remember the pit fiend comes with a bunch of high-level minions who will have special abilities of their own to keep track of.</blockquote>
