[QUOTE="RisnDevil, post: 2617311, member: 15160"] Starting at the top, and working down.... Initiative/Speed - Mace is/can be fast, REALLY fast. (Be advised, the party is not going to encounter him until AT LEAST nearly Epic levels, so making him "too powerful" is not a problem :D ) As a result of this enhanced speed, I would give him a higher than base speed, and probably a constant haste-like effect. (Also be advised, if it seems like I am just making a pure cheese BBEG who can do anything, this was one of my Player's characters in another game system :] ) I wouldn't give him a vorpal bite, but I would give him some form of modified Rend, allowing him a free bite attack, that delivers a bleeding wound. I would totally get rid of the summon ability. Mace would not deign himself to stoop to summoning any help, less yet another Yugoloth. That having been said, I would put in some mechanic that would let his "children" summon him, when in dire need. For Stats, he would already have a high base Strength and Con. Low dex because of size and muscle-mass. He is cunning and wise, though not charismatic. (His idea of charisma is "flexing someone into submission.) For feats, he fights...alot and well. Cleave, Great Cleave, and probably the old Supreme Cleave abilitym are a MUST. I like the Brutal Hit feat that came from the boards, along with Relentless Assault. (For justification, you can make his Hit Dice count as Fighter levels.) Environment - The Blood War is happening in the abyss, right? If so, that is his environment. Organization - Solitary. He doesn't really travel with his "children." They are more like "servants" that he sends out to do his bidding, though he cares for them. ----------------- Thanks for everything so far, I think I am going to like how he turns out. :D [/QUOTE]
