[QUOTE="Forgefly, post: 4016962, member: 55352"] In regards to the social abilities of the Pit Fiend, I was struck by the Which suggest that the Pit Fiend's social interactions are completed by other devils (read newly devilish succubus) This Pit Fiend has an entire army of devils to accomplish it's out of combat needs possibly including high level wizards warlock clerics who have sold their souls to the devils. I am not sure it matters if the Pit Fiend himself can perform the rituals in the same way a human king doesn't need to perform the rituals to have the rituals benefit him. In regards to the Irresistible Command, It tells us the explosion destroys the allied devil, but what happens to an immortal devil when he is destroyed. It is possible this is only a temporary inconvenience to the devils. If a Pit Fiend Teleports away from combat for 5 rounds and returns with more non summoned minions does he get to summon again? If this is true a Pit Fiend who is already described as a general or baron can dump an entire army of devils on the PC's using his Teleport and Frenzy to take out leaders and strikers, his minions to tie up the Defenders, and his Irresistable Command to make life miserable for the Controllers. All of this is possible without extra items and quite possibly irrespective of PC power levels. Factor in a Fiendishly difficult Trap/Environment and the PC's won't have enough actions to keep up.
