Ps3e.com:Beings:Monster:Monster IntroductionPhysical Symmetry (Ex): Due to the odd shape of their bodies, a reave can attack foes on his flank as easily as a normal being can attack someone standing in front of them. Just as importantly, reaves can not be attacked from the rear. Any rear attack will become a flank attack. Fading (Su): A reave may become Astral at will, so long as he is on the top layer of any particular Outer Plane, as well as from the Prime. Fading to the Astral takes one round of game time. Once on the Astral, a reave must remain for a minimum of 1-6 rounds. While on the Astral, the reave remains aware of what's going on in the place he just left. Returning from the Astral takes another full round. During the time it takes to transfer from a plane to the Astral or back, the reave has damage reduction 10/+1.Feats:  With its Multdexterity and Multiweapon fighting feats and its natural ability to fight using all of its limbs, a reave can fight using weapons in all of its arms at no penalty.Ingress CR 1/3   Small Outsider (Chaotic) HD 1d8+1 hp 5 Initiative +0 Speed 30 ft AC  11 (+1 size) Attacks claw +2 melee Damage Claw 1d4+2 Face/Reach 5 ft by 5 ft/5 ft  SQ:  darkvision 60 ft  SV:  Fort +3, Ref +2, Will +2  Str 12, Dex 11, Con 12, Int 5, Wis 11, Cha 6  AL CNSkills and Feats:  Listen +4, Spot +4; AlertnessIngress Mother CR N/A  Huge (long) Outsider (Chaotic) HD 8d8+40 hp 80  Initiative –2 (Dex) Speed 5 ft AC 10 (-2 Dex, -2 size, +4 natural) Attacks – Damage – Face/Reach 10 ft by 20 ft/10 ft  SQ:  Darkvision 60 ft, teleport, telepathy  SV:  Fort +11, Ref +4, Will +8  Str 28, Dex 6, Con 21, Int 8, Wis 14, Cha 7  AL CNSkills and Feats: Knowledge (arcane) +12,  Knowledge (planar) +12, Knowledge (Pandemonium) +12, Sense Motive +13, Wilderness Lore +13;  Skill Focus (knowledge- arcane, planar, and Pandemonium)Notes:  The Ingress Mother does not have a Challenge Rating since it is basically helpless and can’t defend itself.Teleport (Sp):  At will, the Ingress Mother can teleport without error creatures that are under its bulk to anywhere in Pandemonium (even between layers) with no chance of error.Quah-Namog, last priest of Orcus-Tenebrous, male half-orc Clr12/Ftr1 CR 13 Medium-size humanoid (orc) HD 12d8+1d10+39 hp 101 Initiative +0 Speed 20 ft (30 ft base)    AC 25 (+9 banded mail, +6 shield) Attacks light flail +18/+13 melee Damage Light flail 1d8+8 Face/Reach 5 ft by 5 ft/5 ft  SA:  Spells, rebuke undead, death touch  SQ:  Darkvision 60 ft, orc blood  SV:  Fort +13, Ref +4, Will +13   Str 14 (16), Dex 11, Con 16, Int 13, Wis 20, Cha 7  AL NESkills and Feats:  Concentration +18, Knowledge (religion) +7, Knowledge (planar) +7, Sense Motive +12;  Combat Casting, Expertise, Improved Trip, Spell Penetration, Weapon focus (light flail)Notes:  Way too much gear for his CR, but I guess it makes sense since he is the high priest of Orcus-Tenebrous.  I made him into a half-orc seeing as there are a lack of half-ogres in 3E.  The hp changed a lot because of the difference in generating hp in 3E.  I also decided to give Quah a level of fighter in order to be proficient with the flail.Domains:  Death, EvilSpells:  (6/7+1/5+1/5+1/4+1/4+1/2+1)  0:  Create Water, Cure Minor Wounds (X2), Detect Magic, Resistance (x2)  1:  Cause Fear,  Command, Comprehend Languages, Cure Light Wounds (x2), Detect Good, Protection From Good*, Sanctuary  2:  Death Knell*, Heat Metal, Hold Person (x2), Silence, Spiritual Weapon  3:  Animate Dead, Dispel Magic, Locate Object, Magic Circle Against Good*, Prayer, Protection from Elements  4:  Cure Critical Wounds, Freedom of Movement, Lesser Planar Ally, Spell Immunity, Unholy Blight*  5:  Dispel Good*, Greater Command, Flame Strike, Unhallow, Slay Living, Wall of Stone 6:  Blade Barrier, Create Undead*, Word of RecallSpecial Equipment:  banded mail +3, gauntlets of ogre power, light flail +4, small steel shield +5Chapter 9:  Dead Book of the GodsSkeleton CR 1/3  Medium-size undead HD 1d12 hp 12 each Initiative +5 (+1 Dex, +4 Improved Initiative) Speed 30 ft Attacks 2 claws +0 melee Damage claw 1d4 Face/Reach 5 ft by 5 ft/5 ft  SQ:  undead, immunities   SV: Fort +0, Ref +1, Will +2  Str 10, Dex 12, Con -, Int -, Wis 10, Cha 11  AL NSkills and Feats:  Improved InitiativeNotes:  MM pg. 165  Undead:  Immune to mind-influencing effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, and disease.  Not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, ability damage, energy drain, or death from massive damage.Immunities (Ex):  Cold immunity.  Takes half damage from piercing or slashing weapons.Varrangoin (abyssal bat), Lesser- Type II (1 per PC)  CR 4  Medium Size Outsider (Chaotic, Evil) HD 5d8+5 hp 30 each Initiative +2 (Dex) Speed 5 ft, Fly 45 ft (average) AC 20 (+2 Dex, +8 natural) Attacks: 2 claws +6 melee, bite +4 melee Damage:  Claw 1d4+2, bite 1d6+1  Face/Reach 5 ft by 5 ft/5 ft  SA:  Breath weapon  SQ:  Immunities, Sunlight Weakness.
