Does it matter? The Nameless Fiend chose her, favoring her above those others whom he had deemed Exempt. The Sela took counsel with her, as did I, even as she rejected Saizhan. Her fate lies apart from all others, forged on the anvil of her own Will, fired by charcoal cut from a scion of the Tree. She wrought her own destiny, and is utterly her own Self; as such she inherits the legacy of the Adversary more truly than any mere devil. - The AhmaSmarter than Mostin.- NwmShomei's stats use a hypothetical Arch-Infernal array reverse engineered from the stats in the Fiendish Codex II: numbers are adjusted for inherent bonuses, native adjustments from her original (mortal) stat-block, class levels and gear effects. Subsequently, they are rather robust. I've afforded her a +8 ECL adjustment.Her gear value is in the 15Mgp range, but this does not include epic spell development costs or the value of the Trammel of Hell, which push things rather higher. Her XP cushion is equivalent to that of an Infernal or Abyssal planar lord (15,000/week); she is not averse to tapping it for epic conjurations, or for wishes which duplicate spells from barred schools.Shomei is routinely under the effects of a mind blank and three epic buffs which inflate her armor class, spell resistance, and Will saving throws: as the Infernalist is herself potentially a target of conjurations, and as Shomei is cautious by nature, the latter two are maintained to provide as much immunity to such effects as possible. Epic spells which target her with the [Summon] seed or emulate planar binding effects must first penetrate these defenses. Typical spells prepared are given below; when Shomei dedicates her armamentarium specifically to planar binding effects, a footnote is appended.The attack combination of transfix plus quickened cloudkill is used to dispatch hapless mortals in intimidating fashion; flensing and wrathful castigation provide unpleasant and lingering deaths for those who cross Shomei or for disciplining recalcitrant devils. Coerce Godling is the epic spell which Shomei used (unsuccessfully) against Qematiel, but which impressed the wyrm nonetheless.At some point I might get it together to add the notes regarding her diabolic cohorts and the library itself. I'll add it to the list. Note that I don't generally worry about low level spells, and epic characters can cast pretty much whatever they like.Shomei the InfernalConjurer 34 (Focused Specialist) (CR 42)Medium Outsider (Augmented, [Evil, Lawful, Exempt], Native)HD: 34d4+384 (493hp)Init: +11Spd: 40ft.AC: 89 (+40 Epic Mage Armor, +10 deflection, +11 Dex, +13 natural, +5 profane)Base Atk/Grap: +27/+37Atk: +42 melee (1d6+15, Hazel rod) or +38 ranged touchSpace/Reach: 5ft./5ft.SA: Spell-like abilites, spellsSQ: Concession to the prior infinity, darkvision 60ft., doubly exempt, DR 10/epic and silver, Hazel's benedicite, infernal bibliograph, infernal cohorts, greater plane shift, greater teleport, immune (fire, poison), resistances (acid 10, cold 10), SR 104*, telepathy 100ft.SV: Fort +38 Ref +39 Will +105*Abilities: Str 30 Dex 32 Con 34 Int 62 Wis 41 Cha 36Skills: Bluff +31, Concentration +79, Craft (engraving) +63, Craft (jeweler) +63, Craft (woodworking) +63, Decipher Script +63, Diplomacy +37, Gather Information +33, Intimidate +33, Knowledge (arcana) +93, Knowledge (architecture) +63, Knowledge (geography) +63, Knowledge (history) +63, Knowledge (local) +63, Knowledge (nature) +63, Knowledge (nobility) +63, Knowledge (the Planes) +63, Knowledge (religion) +63, Intimidate +33, Listen +33, Profession (arboriculture) +63, Profession (law) +63, Ride +29, Sense Motive +33, Spellcraft +110 (scrolls +114), Spot +33.

Diabolic Transformation (Ex): Shomei is immortal. She is immune to fire and poison, and has acid and cold resistance 10. She can see perfectly in darkness (even magical darkness) and can communicate telepathically with any creatures within 100ft.Doubly Exempt (Ex): Shomei may ignore any alignment-based effects which might adversely affect her due to her subtypes; conversely, she may choose to be affected by any alignment-based effects which would provide her with a benefit. Devils and other lawful evil outsiders automatically recognize Shomei's status and their initial attitude toward her is always friendly; evil feys and suborned devils with the [Green] subtype treat her likewise. Divinations which attempt to discern information pertaining to Shomei's alignment always fail.Spell-Like Abilities: Shomei can use greater plane shift and greater teleport at will as spell-like abilities (Caster Level 34). She may transport only herself and any items she is carrying or wearing. Interplanar travel may be limited by prevailing cosmological trends.Hazel's Benedicite (Su): Due to Hazel's blessing, Shomei may craft any rod, staff or wand (including epic rods and staves) as though she possessed the appropriate item creation feats and the Efficient Item Creation epic feat, provided that she uses wood from a Hazel aspect as the material for her crafting. Shomei pays the normal xp and gp associated with crafting such items; Hazel may withdraw this boon if Shomei chooses to end their association.Infernal Bibliosoph (Ex): As curator of Hell's library, if Shomei Takes 20 on any Knowledge skill check made within its confines she receives a +30 profane bonus to the check.Infernal Cohorts (Ex): Shomei may attract devils as loyal cohorts whose combined CR does not exceed 30 as though she had the Leadership feat.SpellcastingShomei cast spells as a 34th-level focused specialist Conjurer (4/10/10/9/9/9/9/8/8/8/5/4/4/4 spells per day; DC 36+ spell level, Conjurations 40+ Spell level). She gains a further +4 bonus to the CL and Save DC of any spell which provokes a Will saving throw, and a +6 bonus to penetrate any targets' spell resistance. Shomei may prepare an additional 3 Conjuration spells of every level. Her barred schools are Evocation, Necromancy and Illusion. Shomei has access to any nonepic spell on the sorcerer/wizard spell list.Shomei may also cast 3 epic spells per day. She gains a +5 bonus to Spellcraft checks when casting spells with a Conjuration base seed, and suffers a –15 penaly to all Spellcraft checks when casting spells which incorporate a Necromancy, Evocation or Illusion seed. She enjoys a –5 mitigating factor when developing spells which reflect her Infernal specialty.Spell MasteryShomei may prepare any of the following spells without consulting a spellbook: lesser planar binding, planar binding, greater planar binding, gate, magic circle against evil, dimensional anchor, summon monster VII, mage's disjunction, greater dispel magic, assay spell resistance, foresight, antimagic field, contact other plane, trap the soul, mind blank, moment of prescience, dominate monster, mass suggestion, binding, shapechange, greater dragon ally, orb of acid, limited wish, wish, time stop, imprisonmentSpells Prepared13th – Disjunction (quickened), dominate monster (quickened) (DC49), gate (quickened), imprisonment (heightened) (DC53), shapechange (quickened), time stop (quickened), trap the soul (heightened) (DC59)12th – Final rebuke (heightened) (DC52), flensing (heightened) (DC48), incendiary cloud (quickened) (DC48), polymorph any object (heightened) (DC48), trap the soul (quickened) (DC54), sphere of ultimate destruction (heightened) (DC 52), wrathful castigation (quickened) (DC48)11th – Acid storm (heightened) (DC51), antimagic ray (quickened) (DC47), final rebuke (quickened) (DC47), instant summons (quickened), mass make manifest (heightened) (DC51), teleport object (heightened) (DC51), transfix (quickened) (DC47), 10th – Cloudkill (quickened, heightened) (DC46), dominate monster (extended) (DC49), gate (extended), greater dispel magic (quickened), mass suggestion (extended) (DC46), planar perinarch (extended), summon monster IX (extended), wall of iron (quickened)9th – Disjunction, dominate person (quickened) (DC45), gate (x3), shapechange, superior planar binding (x2), prismatic sphere, transfix (heightened) (DC49), wish 8th – Binding (DC var.), dimensional lock, discern location, greater dragon ally, greater planar binding (x2), mind blank, moment of prescience, polymorph any object (DC44), protection from spells, temporal stasis (DC44)7th -  Banishment (x2) (DC 47), choking cobwebs (DC47), energy immunity, final rebuke (DC47), greater arcane sight, limited wish, magnificent mansion, teleport object (DC43), transfix (DC47), vision6th – Acid fog, endless slumber (DC46), flesh to stone (DC42), geas (DC46), greater anticipate teleportation, planar binding (x2), seal portal, smoky confinement (DC42), steal summoning, subvert planar essence (DC42), true seeing5th – Baleful polymorph (DC41), break enchantment, fabricate, hidden lodge, lesser planar binding (x3), major creation, mind fog (DC45), overland flight, private sanctum, zone of respite4th – Assay spell resistance (x2), attune form, dimensional anchor (x3), know vulnerabilities, orb of fire (x3), polymorph, ray deflection3rd – Analyze portal, devil blight (DC39), fly, haste, magic circle (x3), phantom steed, servant horde, spell vulnerability (DC39), stinking cloud (DC43), tonguesMagic Items: Headband of Intellect +10, Ring of Protection and Resistance +10, Arcane Bracelet, The Hazel Rod, Crystal Ball of Demands, Robe of Meteors, Trammel of HellSoul Trapping Gems: Shomei possesses 10 black sapphires, each of 50,000gp value.Arcane BraceletWhilst worn, this silver bracelet grants a +30 competence bonus to all Knowledge (arcana), Concentration and Spellcraft skill checks. Every day, the bracelet’s owner can recall up to 20 levels of spells that she has already cast during that day. Spells raised beyond 9th level by metamagic feats may be recalled, but Epic spells may not. If the spell recalled normally requires an expensive material component and/or an XP cost, the caster must meet these requirements as usual. Caster Level 40. 400Kgp.Crystal Ball of Demands This crystal ball with telepathy and true seeing allows its user to use the demand spell at will (Heightened to 16th level, DC 34). Caster Level 40. 1.0Mgp.Hazel Rod This rod strikes as a +5 axiomatic unholy light mace and provides a +4 bonus to the Caster Level and Save DC of any spell or spell-like ability used by its wielder which provokes a Will saving throw. As a standard action, the owner of the Hazel Rod may use dominate monster at will; the wielder uses his or her own caster level, ability score modifier and any relevant feats to determine the parameters of the effect, modified by the bonus provided by the rod itself. In Shomei's case, Caster Level is 38 and the Save DC is 49.When used in conjunction with any planar binding spell to bind lawful evil outsiders, the Hazel Rod increases the number of Hit Dice possessed by eligible targets by +8; for example, the rod's wielder could bind a devil of up to 26HD with a greater planar binding spell. The rod confers a +6 circumstance bonus to any opposed Charisma checks involved in the binding process.Caster Level 34. 5.4Mgp.Robe of Meteors [Major Artifact]This purplish-black robe displays a field of shooting stars which seem to constantly fall, blaze briefly into incandescence, and then vanish. It provides a +5 profane bonus to Armor Class and saving throws, immunity to bludgeoning and fire attacks, and grants a number of other abiities to its wearer in addition:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">As a full-round action, the wearer can concentrate to increase the density of the meteor field within the robe. On the next round, and for as long as the wearer concentrates upon this effect, he or she benefits from an intensified spell turning effect, and is able to turn up to 20 levels of spells per round. There is no limit to the number of times per day this ability may be used.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">As a standard action, the wearer may grasp a falling star and hurl it as a meteor swarm (intensified, heightened to 20th-level, DC40). This ability is usable 3 times per day.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">As a swift action, once per day, the wearer may make a meteoric leap, transforming himself or herself into a line up to 1200 feet long and moving instantaneously across the battlefield. The wearer can reappear in any space adjacent to the last space ended by the line with any gear worn or carried. The meteoric leap does 96 points of bludgeoning damage and 192 points of fire damage to all creatures along the line with no saving throw. Upon reaching the destination square, an intensified meteor swarm (heightened to 20th-level) explodes in a 40-ft. radius burst centered on the cloak's wearer. A Reflex saving throw (DC40) halves the damage.</li> </ul>Caster Level 40. 4.8MgpTrammel of Hell [Paradigmatic Artifact]Crafted by the Adversary for the purpose of restraining the wyrm Qematiel, these shackles are constructed of Hellforged adamant and resize themselves to fit any creature of size diminutive to colossal, with any number of manacles becoming available for binding creatures with multiple limbs. The Trammel of Hell requires an Escape Artist check or Break DC of 100 to escape. Creatures bound with the trammel are subject to a dimensional anchor effect (Caster Level 75).Conjuration LimitIf Shomei dedicates all eligible spell slots (excluding epic slots) to various planar bindings she can call well over 2000HD of outsiders before needing to prepare spells again: this is a 36-hour uninterrupted process, which Shomei's high Concentration skill can reasonably allow her to endure. This 'Goetic Nova' can furnish Shomei with any number and combination of diabolic servants, typical formulations being detailed below. Although Shomei could technically summon a large number of middle-ranking Infernal magnates in this period – as many as fifty Dukes of Hell – negotiations  would be excruciating, payment costly, and risks unnecessarily high. Coordinating such a large number of bickering diabolic aristocrats would also likely be tedious. Drawing on pre-existing structures which include less potent devils conveys certain obvious benefits. Each of the four groups represent a possibility offered by a period of such continuous conjuration; the last - Auxilliary Units – together comprise a single group. In toto, the combined groups might represent a week's worth of dedicated planar bindings, and approximate to a heavily reinforced diabolic battalion. A whole month's worth of conjurations – a typical compact's length, and at the end of which all compactees could be simultaneously deployed – is equivalent to an entire Infernal legion: around 35,000HD of devils.Knights of the Order of the Fly (Elite company, plus steeds, hounds and sentries).<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(1) Knight Commander Naberius, Marquis of Hell (28HD), mounted on an 18HD cauchemar.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(1) Aide de Camp: Arolen, an Infernal Baron (24HD)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(4) Captains of the Order of the Fly: Narzugon Paladin of Tyranny 13, mounted on 15HD cauchemars.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(20) Esteemed Knights: Narzugon Fighter 8, mounted on 10HD nightmares </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(80) Devilish Armigers: Narzugons, mounted on nightmares</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(20) Pickets: Erinyes </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(12) Messengers: Spined Devils</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(12) Sentinels: Hellcats</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(40) Hounds: Hellhounds</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(10) Imps For sundry tasks</li> </ul>Diabolic Shock Troops (Heavy company plus support)<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">(1) Captain: Rigios the Terrible.

Mitigating: extend casting (-24), 3000xp.Shomei creates a magical sensor which is difficult to detect. She can view a target creature or area at any distance and across planes. In the case of a locale, Shomei needs no familiarity with the area; if a creature is the target, Shomei need merely know its name. The sensor has full visual and audial acuity to 150ft., with the equivalent of a true seeing effect. The remote blocking ability of DvR1 deities and mind blank protections are inadequate to avert the scrying power of Apprehend; divinities of higher rank are not subject to scrutiny from the sensor. Epic spells designed to protect against observation which include the [Delude], [Ward] or [Conceal] seeds are entitled to an opposed Caster Level check.If the spell fails to penetrate a target's SR, the target may not be viewed; Shomei is treated as a 48th-level caster for purposes of Apprehend. Regardless of whether SR is overcome, the target is entitled to a Will saving throw (DC60). Failure indicates that the creature is aware of the scrying attempt, and in the case of a successful Caster Level check from Shomei, may attempt to dispel the offending sensor.Augment Spell ResistanceTransmutationSpellcraft DC: 111Components: V,SCasting Time: 10 minsRange: PersonalTarget: YouDuration: 200 hoursFortify (+17).

Conjured glooms remain for up to 20 hours, and follow instructions to the letter, typically being dispatched to eliminate a target which Shomei designates. At the conclusion of the spell, they return to the dark places from which they issued.Infernal ParagonsConjuration (Summoning) [Evil, Lawful]Spellcraft DC: 125Components: V,SCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: 75ft.Effect: Two summoned paragon pit fiendsDuration: 20 rounds (D)Saving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoSummon (+14).

The save DC is Charisma-based and includes a +13 insight bonus.Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the fiend must hit with its tail slap attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict.Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 48, initial damage 1d6 Con, secondary damage death.

The diagram is fashioned with a fabricate spell, before being fixed with a magic circle and dimensional anchor as normal.Any Arch-Devil, Prosecutor, Antagonist or other unique named devil up to 48HD is potentially subject to this spell. The called fiend is held in the diagram until it agrees to perform services in return for its freedom. If it  is protected by a mind blank, that protection is suspended for the purpose of Supreme Goetia; if it is protected by epic spells which incorporate the [Conceal], [Delude] or [Ward] seeds, Shomei is entitled to an opposed caster level check in order to overcome such protection: her effective Caster Level is 48 for this purpose.The target creature is allowed a Will saving throw (DC64). If the saving throw succeeds, the Infernal magnate resists the spell. If the saving throw fails, it is immediately drawn to the trap (spell resistance does not keep it from being called). It can escape from the trap with a successful Charisma check (DC 56). If it breaks loose, it can flee or attack Shomei. Trapped fiends are held indefinitely; they may only be released upon agreeing to the services demanded. Shomei determines the conditions of the compact.Material Component: Diagram inlayed with consecrated silver (25,000gp)Focus: Hazel Rod.**Shomei's CohortsShomei has three infernal cohorts: Ugales (CR19), Ambolin (CR18) and Barqu (CR16). All are unique devils.</blockquote>
