[QUOTE="Ebonynightcloudstorm, post: 7434895, member: 37804"] 8. In issue #76, page 34, mention is made of Alastor, the greatest pit fiend of all, and yet he is not personally described. What are his statistics? Alastor was not described because he is just that a pit fiend. None of the pit fiends in the hierarchy (each is marked with an asterisk in the listing given in Monster Manual II) were described individually in the earlier magazine article because they would have almost doubled the overall length of that article, with seemingly endless repetitions of the pit fiend entry that appears in the Monster Manual. However, here are some facts and figures that can be used in an adventure that involves the greatest pit fiend of all: Alastor the Grim (sometimes called Alastor the Silent) is a pit fiend having maximum hit points (13 HD, 114 hp), genius intelligence, and the strength of a storm giant (ability score of 24, +6 to hit, +12 on damage). He fights with all weapons, and usually executes beings with a great black double-bladed +4 battleaxe (12’ long, 2- 12 +4 damage, plus Alastor’s strength bonus, vs. opponents of all sizes) or a giant scythe (non-magical, 9’ blade and 13’ handle, damage 1 - 10 plus Alastor’s bonus vs. all opponents). He never wears armor, is covered with the gouges and twisted flesh of gruesome, poorly healed wounds, and has broken, tattered wings (he can fly, but only 6" per round). He is thought to be the closest friend and confidant of Asmodeus, and is unswervingly loyal to the present Overlord. Alastor is grey-skinned, with wings of a sooty black appearance. He is otherwise a normal pit fiend (see the Monster Manual entry This was from Dragon magazine 91 [/QUOTE]
