[QUOTE="Leatherhead, post: 8663085, member: 53176"] [HEADING=2]Nabassu (MToF)[/HEADING] Nabassu are truly Demons amongst Demons. They seek to kill and devour the souls of every creature they can, including other Demons. An act that is considered so deprived that even other Demons shun them. While there isn’t much you can do with a Demon, given their natures, the book does provide an interesting plot hook: Gangs of Nabassu sometimes gather to hunt down the amulets of a Demon Lord. Providing a fickle potential ally in the quest to permanently destroy such a creature. Nabassu have a ritual that enables them to eat the soul of something they just killed, giving them a small power boost in return. Affording the DM an easy way to up their threat level by increments, and also a penalty for leaving the dead behind. They are also permanently in an area of dim light, but that hardly matters at the point in a game where CR 15 enemies are common. In combat, the Nabassu has a decent fly speed, and multiattack with claw, bite, and gaze. The Gaze is the only truly interesting attack out of the three, a CHA save that drops the target’s maximum HP and heals the Nabassu for the damage dealt. An interesting tactic would be to find someone with low CHA, and keep eyeballing them to keep the demon’s HP regenerating while attacking other targets. As an added bonus, any target killed by having 0hp becomes a ghoul, giving the Nabassu a source for their only “natural” allies. In the Changeover, the Nabassu lost their magical weapons ability in favor of necrotic and force damage on their attacks, while also upping the damage on those attacks. Additionally, they lost their necrotic resistance, gaining lighting resistance in it’s place. Once again, I saw some typos on the D&D beyond page, I can't help but wonder if there is some sort of ARG going on here. [/QUOTE]
