[QUOTE="JRR_Talking, post: 3391581, member: 4693"] SPI dragonquest rpg from around 1980 has him down as a demonic duke, (from the 1st hierachy as mentioned in the wiki above.) ASTAROTH: "The Terrible Duke" Base Chance: 66% Lesser Spirits: 40% Description: Astaroth appears in the form of a dark angel all black and with a bloody mouth. He carries a viper coiled about his right hand and he rides an infernal dragon. He speaks gaily of horrible things and laughs readily at pain and disease. He is exceedingly cruel. Talents, Skills, and Magic: Astaroth is a practitioner of the arts of the College of Necromantic Conjurations. He possesses the following Skills: Alchemist, Assassin, Military Scientist, Navigator. He knows the Generic and Individual True Names of all things, but will only tell these if it pleases him and he thinks that suffering may be increased thereby. He knows men's secrets and will tell them. Movement Rates: Running: 350 yards per minute. PS: 27 MD: 26 AG: 28 MA: 32 EN: 26 FT: 35 WP: 35 PC: 26 PB: 8 TMR: 9 NA: 3 DP per Strike. Weapons: Astaroth's breath is poisonous to the same degree as chlorine and extends outward from his mouth 25 feet in a cone 10 feet wide at the base. He has no other natural weapons, but will usually carry a heavy mace which he uses in shattering the bones of his victims so that they will be crippled and take a long time dying. Comments: Astaroth will readily serve the summoner, but only so long as he is pleased to do so. He will usually serve so long as the summoner is involved in much death and cruelty and will depart when these cease. Astaroth may not be bound. If the summoner attempts to bind him, Astaroth will turn on him and rend him and may claim his soul [/QUOTE]
