You're talking 17-24 attacks per round at different targets, and you're worried about a +2 bonus (or lack thereof) to Will saves? Unless you're planning a tpk, give the creature some weakness for the PCs to exploit. If it concentrated its attacks on one PC at a time, the party is going to lose 1 character per round facing this thing. They're going to have a hard enough time fighting it, especially if it is attacking at a distance, and can then use DD to change locations and stike again unawares. If your PCs can get close enough to use something requiring a Will save on this beast, they should have a decent chance of it actually working. If you make it where their only option is to close in and attack, that's what they're likely to start doing with all their encounters. Especially when the monster can take out 1-2 PCs per round. I'm sure with the lich bbg you're going to want some drama and whatever. Nothing spoils that faster than PCs interrupting a monologue and just attacking (whether the bbg is ready or not). Stick with just the Fighter levels and forget Assassin. A creature with that many attacks is basically making a death attack whenever it does a full round attack (and concentrates all arrows on a single target). This goes back to the subject of theme. Your demon is basically a warrior anyway, even without Fighter levels, so keep it that way. If you want an Assassin in the mix, have this creature working with another demon (or whatever) that is maybe more of a roguish, sniper type, rather than the equivalent of a squadron of archers.</blockquote>
