[QUOTE="OakwoodDM, post: 1689065, member: 8609"] First things first, I apologise if this is in the wrong place or if it's less than coherent. I've chosen to do it fairly late at night. On to the problem. I'm running a PbEM DnD 3.0 game for some friends and I've come up with a plot whereby the city they're in is under siege by an army of deformed people. These people are Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Goblinoids, all of whom have had the Fiendish template added, as well as a fiendish graft (from the Fiend Folio) They are led by two lieutenants (I'm not sure of the details yet, but that's something I'll figure out on my own) and overseen by a floating glass ball. This ball is being posessed by a fiend of some kind with enough levels of Fiend of Posession (again, FF) to posess an object, but not enough to do so to a living thing. This is where I hope you come in. I need a fiendish entity which has powers which will be interesting and challenging to a 6 person 6th level party when it has no use of its body. Unfortunately, the CR system's not much help here, as the hp, AC etc are that of the ball, rather than the fiend. Of course, there will be guards for them to deal with as well, as a glass ball on its own wouldn't be too difficult to smash! This creature (as would be implied by the post title) is intended to be a thorn in the PCs' sides for quite some time, with a climax (if the campaign lasts that long) of them taking it on face to face. So, any suggestions? Many thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
