Kulan: Need a unique Balor: CR 25!

[Knightfall]

Woohoo!

A creation from the Demon Master, himself. Thanks Sep!

I think Nifft's suggestion of 2 Blackguard levels is good, actually - you only lose 1 bonus feat. And +10 to all saves is just wicked. And you get smite good 1/day. And you get a couple of Blackguard spells - strategic charge (swift) would be nice, for a quick use of Mobility. Depends how much you want him real CR25, though. Saves at +36/+30/+31 might take him way out of the party's league.

First. Oh my god, it's Sepulchrave, HE LIVES.

Second. Oh my god, "Memphis" is going to turn some poor unlucky PC into little red sticks.

Third. Oh my god, pick up the Blackguard levels, drop Weapon Specialization, and watch those spellcasters weep.

Actually, I'll likely tweak him a bit, for my own purposes, but I think I'll hold off on the blackguard levels. Perhaps if Memphis survives his next encounter with the PCs then I'll add on a couple Blackguard levels. They won't likely encounter him soon, as they are only around 18th level, on average.

I don't know, looking at that monster, I would drop the falchion to a +1 to make it keen with a +40 to hit he's going to be hitting with relatively low numbers and the opportunity for 12-20 threat range is too good to miss.

Instead of fighter or blackguard, what about warmage? Looking at it, it'd be perfect. You gain spells like a sorcerer but cast any spell on their spell lists, and in light armor and light shields to boot!

What spells would you think he'd use in combat, instead of what a vanilla Balor already has?

Spell-Like Abilities

At will— blasphemy (DC 25), dominate monster (DC 27), greater dispel magic, greater teleport (self plus 50 pounds of objects only), insanity (DC 25), power word stun, telekinesis (DC 23), unholy aura (DC 26); 1/day—fire storm (DC 26), implosion (DC 27). Caster level 20th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.

Well, what about the Enlightened Fist? Increase the SLA checks by three and some other nifty stuff.

^ Stratch that. Mindbender is probably a better idea.

SLA checks?

Mindbender is practically useless, though. Balors already have Telepathy, and can cast dominate monster at will, which is better than what a Mindbender can cast, isn't it? What ability do you see it using in combat that's better than what it already has?

Sorry if I'm missing something, -- N
