This ability can be used in several ways:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mephistopheles can attack with it in a 30 ft. cone, 60 ft. line or 90 ft. ray (+37 ranged touch, no save) which deals 9d12 points of divine damage to all creatures caught within, Reflex DC 32 half.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">He can wreathe himself in a shield of hellfire for 9 rounds, so that anyone attacking him in melee, and anyone he hits with a touch attack, takes 3d12 points of divine damage. (no save)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">He can radiate a 30 ft. aura of hellfire for 9 rounds. Anyone caught within the aura takes 1d12 points of divine damage per round, and must make a Reflex save (DC 32) or the hellfire catches, continuing to deal damage every turn thereafter. Every turn thereafter, the character is allowed a new save against the same DC to put out the fire, but otherwise it can only be extinguished by casting a Dispel Evil spell at the affected character.</li> </ul>Lord of the Eighth: Mephistopheles’ Cosmic Realm is Cania, the Eighth Hell. Mephistopheles can promote lesser devils into greater forms at will, except that he cannot promote a devil to a pit fiend. (Only immersion in the Lake of Fire, or the will of Asmodeus himself, can do that.) If the devil in question does not possess the proper HD for its new form, Mephistopheles receives a number of negative levels equal to the difference. Mephistopheles does not need to make a Fortitude save against permanent level loss for using this power. Instead, his negative levels are removed at the rate of one per hour. Locked Within The Gates: Mephistopheles may never physically leave Hell by spell or portal, and although he can Astrally Project to other outer planes, he can’t Project himself to the material plane. He cannot be Called or Summoned except with the Invocation of Unlocking the Nine Gates. Portfolio sense: Mephistopheles automatically senses any event involving the justification of evil acts or dispassion towards them, the pursuit of knowledge by evil means or the use of magic for evil purposes as it happens, if it affects a thousand or more people. He becomes aware of the event and where it happens. Once Mephistopheles notices an event, he can use remote sensing to perceive the event. Remote Sensing: As a standard action, Mephistopheles can perceive everything within a radius of nine miles around any of his worshipers, holy sites or sacred objects, any location where someone has spoken his name or title within the last hour, anywhere in Cania or any location where an event related to his portfolio has occurred. (Although he is not necessarily aware of all such events to observe them, see Portfolio sense above) This ability can cross planar boundaries and penetrate barriers and is not fooled with misdirection, nondetection, or similar effects. Mephistopheles can extend his senses to up to three separate locations, and still sense what's going on around him. Block Sensing: As a standard action, Mephistopheles can block the sensing ability of another cosmic entity or deity for up to nine hours by making a successful opposed power check. (1d20+HD+Cha modifier, +37 for Mehpistopheles) This power extends for a radius of nine miles, and can be centred on Mephistopheles himself, on a sacred site, on the location of something related to his portfolio, or anywhere in Cania. Mephistopheles can simultaneously block the area around himself and one other area. Cold Soul: This is a +5 flaming burst icy burst ranseur.</blockquote>
