It was disabled at 0HP, was still standing and had a standard action coming to it when it's turn came back around.Number two, what was the ready? Did the PC specifically ready the attack for when he could cleave? That decision usually has to be made when the ready is declared. Number 3, their claws are nice, but honestly, they need a two handed weapon, maybe a glaive. They start proficient in simple and martial weapons as outsiders.Move to a charge position? Yes. charge someone with a ready, sure. Draw AoOs IF the foe does not have silver to attack a weaker foe? Sure. Move into a foes ready? I kinda doubt that, especially if the person looked strong or had a two handed weapon, though Wisdom 6 has few examples to really say for certain. I do think the carnage demon is better served with endurance and die hard as the default feats. Let them have thier saves as glass jaws. Maybe Savage Species's Thick skin x2. {+2 to existing DR, no more than double base].Now here is a monster I don't recommend using. It is a Carnage demon frenzied berserker {Complete warrior PRC}. But if you like the PRC or just have to deal with it in your game, here ya go. Bound within black shell of material similar to magically hardened adamantine [hardness 40, HP 1] Izzzock the reckless floats in a temporal stasis inducing fluid, protecting Izzack from the world, but more importantly, protecting the world from Izzack. Should the shell be breached, the shell with crumble to dust and the fluid will lose it's magic, freeing Izzzack. The Demon lord who owns Izzock  plans only to release him as a living weapon, most likely to be hurled by a goristro demon into battle  near a pack of Carnage demons already engaged in melee. A Goristro with the far shot could reliably lob the shell 1500 feet [the max of 5 increments][sblock=Izzzock the reckless, Carnage demon] Advanced Carnage Demon Barbarian 1, frenzied berserker 6        Medium Outsider (Chaotic, Evil, Extraplanar)    Hit Dice:        9d8+7d12+ ( 107hp) [139 raging] Basically infinite HP while in frenzy    Initiative:        +2    Speed:        40 ft.
