Er, yeah. Forgot about that.

And another thing: normal balors have Str 35, not Str 33 that is listed for Ainhorr.

Also, I can't get the normal balor's attack bonuses to work out either.

BALOR
Large Outsider (Chaotic, Extraplanar, Evil)
Hit Dice: 20d8+200 (290 hp)
Base Attack/Grapple: +20/+36
Attack: +1 vorpal longsword +33 melee (2d6+8/19–20)
Abilities: Str 35, Dex 25, Con 31, Int 24, Wis 24, Cha 26
Feats: Cleave, Improved Initiative, Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, Power Attack, Quicken Spell-Like Ability (telekinesis), Two-Weapon Fighting, Weapon Focus (longsword)

So: +20 (BAB) +12 (Str) +1 (Wpn Focus) +1 (magic sword) -2 (size) = +32.

Still off by one. What the heck?

 

[Harlath]

The standard 3.5 Balor is Large, your size penalty is one too high. Easy to miss.

Here's a bit of the scene in question. Still somewhat vague, really. The Kevin Bacon image works as well as any, I think.

Ok, ok... after reading the description, I suppose Kevin Bacon could play him in the Chronicles of Wyre movie.

But if he looks like Kevin Bacon, it's Kevin Bacon from Tremors. Not Kevin Bacon from Hollow Man.

Here he is in Stir of Echoes at age ~40, Tahl being late 30s:

I asked Harsh to color the picture of the Enforcer and, due to a miscommunication, he colored the second version (the more androgynous, waifish version), not the one I gave above. Here it is:

I like it better.

 

[Avarice]

I'm with Lela on this one. She just seems more menacing in this version, to me. Maybe it's the combination of the waifish body with the dead black eyes and sadistic smirk. Makes me think she'd be the type to enjoy pulling the wings off of flies; or the arms off of wizards. Whatever it is, it's decidedly creepy. Harsh does good work.

Thirded. She looks more like the S&M schoolmarm I imagined her as

 

[Cheiromancer]

Here's the colored version of the other version. For some reason there is a "paint-by-numbers" appearance to it that, apparently, doesn't appear in photoshop. The skin color of her face appears blotchy to me. Does it to you guys? Does anyone know why this is, or how it could be fixed? (Would a tif be better than jpg?)

Yeah, it would be. JPGs are compressed, TIFs aren't. Thr compression can lead to that sort of effect.
