[QUOTE="greymarch, post: 410697, member: 4625"] Not every demon-lord and arch-devil in the BoVD has a SR equal to his CR + 13. I still need to know Orcus's actual spell resistance. I also have two other questions: 1. What is Orcus's Armor class? 2. What is Orcus's Hit points? I am confused about how specific the BoVD is when it comes to modifying the demon-lords and archdevils into divine powers. Does the book give specific stats for Orcus as a divine power, or for Asmodeus? Does the DM have to use abstract rules presented in the BoVD to modify these demonlords himself? I know that a playtest version of the BoVD Asmodeus was floating around the internet several months ago, and that playtest version had Asmodeus written as a normal archdevil, and as a divine power. You see, my gaming group has considered Orcus our number one enemy for over 11 years now. Our characters are from level 22 to 30, and we are using the Epic Rules. I am concerned that Orcus will not be a challenge for an epic level group, and my gaming group is VERY hesitant to modify any official NPC. In the Forgotten Realms, Orcus is considered a god (a lesser god IIRC), so he should be tougher in the Forgotten Realms than in other places. I hope the BoVD has specific stats for Orcus as a divine power. [/QUOTE]
