Converting Epic Level Beings

[Krishnath]

Ah, yes, but it is clearly a unique demon, and from it's appearance it looks a lot like it is a minion of Demogorgon himself.

 

[BOZ]

i support giving him an either/or.

 

[Leopold]

so profane bonus is out then?

 

[BOZ]

i think it needs something for AC.

hey fellas, before we get too bogged down in these details, why not get the important stuff out of the way so that the details come easier?

anyone got suggestions for ability scores? you know, good ol Str Dex Con Int Wis Cha?

 

[Leopold]

Str 24
Dex 11
Con 20
Int 14
Wis 12
Cha 8

 

[Krishnath]

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.

 

[BOZ]

do you think we should keep his mind that weak? i'm sure he could use a bump up.

Here's a preliminary attempt at the spell-like abilities:

Spell-Like Abilities: At will—deeper darkness, detect magic, see invisibility, telekinesis (DC X), and read magic. Caster level 20th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.

Summon Tanar'ri (Sp): Twice per day Kerzit can attempt to summon 2 hezrous or 2 glabrezous with a 70% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 9th-level spell.

-or-

Summon Tanar'ri (Sp): Four times per day Kerzit can attempt to summon 1 hezrou or 1 glabrezou with a 70% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 9th-level spell. Kerzit may only summon two of each type of demon per day.

 

[BOZ]

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.

that's a good start, how does everyone else feel about this?

i'm adding greater teleport to that spell-like abilities list, and i may (or not) add some others.

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.

Good suggestion on adding greater teleport. This guy has very limited spell-like abilities. Perhaps we should give him a few more to tie into his role as guardian?
