Scions of Suldek

36 HD sounds good. Appropriate for CR 28.

Actually, another good place to look for inspiration would be the ELH's gloom. So it might have the SQ of being perfectly silent when it wants to be, or can make any weapon bane or dread against its target (not actually something a gloom can do, but it carries a weapon that's dread only for it...)

Demiurge out.

Good suggestion on the gloom abilities.

 

[BOZ]

heck, i like all of that. will put a stat block together today if i get a chance...

meantime, anyone want to venture forth with some naming suggestions?

 

[Shade]

Eradicus?

Eliminix?

Maxicur?

The Final Visitor?

Another idea: trapping the souls of those he killed in the form of notches on the handle of his dagger. There are thousands there, making the dagger an artifact in its own right (maybe dread against any species already trapped in it, but traps their souls instead of turning them to dust so he can do something gruesome with the body).

Indeed! Trapping or destroying souls is necessary for a killer of this magnitude.
What about a magically enhanced thianun (Complete Warrior) weapon?

 

[BOZ]

i like that idea.

let's work on his ability scores. i think Int and Dex should definitely be highest. Cha also seems to be fairly important, for skills. Str, Con, and Wis are less important, but should of course not be ignored.

Stats of "comparable" critters of his CR:

Raziel: Str 38, Dex 29, Con 34, Int 28, Wis 28, Cha 22
Eltab: Str 37, Dex 27, Con 33, Int 28, Wis 24, Cha 28
Fraz-Urb'luu: Str 39, Dex 20, Con 39, Int 24, Wis 21, Cha 27
Orcus: Str 39, Dex 25, Con 43, Int 29, Wis 22, Cha 21
Bharrai: Str 33, Dex 27, Con 29, Int 30, Wis 29, Cha 30
Gloom: Str 32, Dex 46, Con 29, Int 26, Wis 25, Cha 30

 

[BOZ]

we can form a basis with that, but using the guidelines i set out above.
