[QUOTE="Shade, post: 3408815, member: 287"] I'm fine with granting Amduscias a bonus similar to what Shroomy suggested, but we're still gonna have to face this with the other Dukes. Here's Mal's ability: Profane Beauty (Su): Malcanthet's otherworldly beauty grants her a deflection bonus to her Armor Class equal to her Charisma bonus, as long as she doesn't wear armor. Good creatures must make a DC 43 Fortitude save each time they attempt to make a melee attack or otherwise touch Malcanthet. Failure indicates that they gain two negative levels as their souls are infused with her corruption. Malcanthet heals 20 hit points each time her profane beauty bestows negative levels on a creature. The save DC is Charisma-based. As a full-round action, Malcanthet may use her profane beauty offensively. She must successfully grapple a foe in order to do so, at which point she can inflict 2 negative levels per round she maintains the grapple. Alternately, she can inflict 2 negative levels to a willing character with a kiss or other act of passion. She cannot combine this ability with her Queen's Kiss ability. I think this is more a case of her "portfolio" of seduction than just high Charisma, so I'd hesitate to give something similar to all devils. Plus, even the BoVD "true" versions of the archdevils don't have deflection bonuses to AC. If you really want to give them all some other type of bonus, insight would be the best choice since that is what the BoVD versions of the archdevils possess. [/QUOTE]
