[QUOTE="frankthedm, post: 4193744, member: 1164"] 1. Any gear the Pit fiend has is treasure. Any gear the Balor has is shrapnel. 2. The artist forgot the Pit fiend’s breastplate. “This hulking devil stands 12 feet tall and has red scales, leathery wings, and a long whiplike tail. It carries a massive mace and [i]wears an ornate breastplate[/i] decorated with evil runes and symbols.” 3. I’d imagine Pit fiends should be wearing finery only one step below their Devil Lords, but sadly, most of that kind of stuff is not fire proof. Once combat starts, that dandy outfit becomes ash. 4. Pit fiends can vault their stuff wherever their throne room is and come back to it pretty easy. Balors would carry their stuff wherever they go since I’d imagine they have more a “It is mine because I have it with me” attitude rather than a Devils “It is mine because I have rightful claim on it.” Also, I’d bet balors are far less sedentary and their local terrain is far more unstable, two things that make it a good idea to ‘Carry what you got’. 5. I think the Artist took a little inspiration from the Warhammer Bloodthirster for this Balor. Those Balrog clones do come with a bit of gear on thier bodies. [/QUOTE]
