[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9234381, member: 57383"] Okay, so the only power we have remaining is the original's Breath Weapon. Simply calling it a "breath weapon" seems a little uninspired though. How about jazzing up the name a bit? How about this: [indent] [i][B]Pazrael's Breath (Recharges After A Long Rest).[/b][/i] The thrall of pazuzu exhales a [URL='https://www.enworld.org/posts/9222739']swarm of demonic locusts[/URL] into an adjacent space. The thrall can exhale the swarm into areas occupied by other creatures, including the thrall itself. Roll initiative for the swarm, which has its own turns. It obeys any verbal commands the thrall gives it in Abyssal. The swarm never attacks the thrall and recognizes the thrall's allies. If the thrall doesn't issue any commands, the swarm starts attacking random creatures and devouring vegetation while defending itself from hostile creatures and trying to stay within 30 feet of the thrall. An undirected swarm that has no victims or crops in sight will slake its thirst for destruction by vandalizing property. The swarm vanishes back to the lower aerial kingdoms after 6 [[color=magenta][b]?[/b][/color]] rounds. It also disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or if the thrall orders it to return home. [/indent] I think that about covers it. Liked the idea of the demon locusts going on a kill-and-devour spree unless the thrall specifically orders them not to. Makes more sense than the standard conjuration's "If you don’t issue any commands to the [NAME], it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions." It is a bunch of dimwitted ravenous demons, after all! [/QUOTE]
