Converting Epic Level Beings

[Krishnath]

What about adding Animate Dead and Waves of Fatigue to it's spell-like abilities.

Also, for DR, how about 10/epic and lawful and good?

I just realized, despite BOZ's earlier reminder, that I had my Type II, III, and so on demons mixed up. I blame the Type O demon.

I edited the spell-like abilities above to correctly reflect hezrou and glabrezu instead of vrock and glabrezu.

I like the spell-like abilities you suggested.

For DR, I vote for 15/cold iron and good.

BTW, I heard your sig file during my lunch break. In fact, when I flipped on the radio, it was at exactly the point that your sig file begins. Weird, eh?

A few other random thoughts before I depart…

I’m increasing his reach to 15 feet, due to the tentacles.

Kerzit may attack up to 5 times per round. Its tentacles (ld10 each) and saw-like arms (ld12 each) account for the majority of its melee capability. If both tentacles strike the same victim in a single round, the victim is dragged to Kerzit’s waiting jaws for an additional bite (normal “to hit” roll) of 2-24 points plus deadly poison (-3 penalty to saving throw).

Not sure how his attack routine should work for full attack. Should it be 2 tentacles and 2 arms; or 1 bite – or should he be able to do all 5 normally in one round? Or should the bite only come into play if an opponent is grappled?

Leo: you rolled for that didn't you.

Str 28, Dex 13, Con 22, Int 15, Wis 14, Cha 17

We wan't the creature to have presence and give players a run for their money.

i just threw those numbers out there. I figured since this guy was buttugly to give him a low CHA.

Str 30, Dex 15, Con 24, Int 18, Wis 14, Cha 15

I say give his tentacles 15' reach and the rest 10' reach.

attack pattern would be 2 tentacles or 2 arms and bite?

Shade: Not really, I'm just that good

Leo: Ha, ha, very funny, I still say it should have Cha 17, it may be ugly, but it has presence, and Cha is more a measurement of ones presence, than actuall physical beauty.

i thinl somewhere arround the attributes of a baylor (Maybe a little tougher, he is unique) sounds good. Maybe a slightly crappier charisma,

Something like
Str 39, Dex 20, Con 35, Int 20, Wis 24, Cha 22

makes his a pretty good guard but not as bright as a demon prince thus easier for such a creature to controll.

That's a pretty good suggestion Clifford.

Str 28, Dex 13, Con 22, Int 15, Wis 14, Cha 17

For comparison:

Hezrou (CR 11): Str 21, Dex 10, Con 29, Int 14, Wis 14, Cha 18
Glabrezu (CR 13): Str 31, Dex 10, Con 31, Int 16, Wis 16, Cha 20
Balor (CR 20): Str 35, Dex 25, Con 31, Int 24, Wis 24, Cha 26
Klurichir (CR 26): Str 29, Dex 15, Con 22, Int 20, Wis 16, Cha 23

Our current stats put this guy significantly weaker than a glabrezu. I think we need to beef 'em up, particularly Con and Cha.

that last set seems to be the closest to what we probably want to see. it puts him more physically powerful than a balor, but less mentally acute. still, his greater HD and generally better abilities should make him able to take on one balor, but maybe not two.
