Specifically when and where to use it.This new Pit Fiend has some interesting decisions with Tactical Teleport and Irresistible Command. However I do think it is at least one or two options short of what I was hoping for. It looks interesting for an encounter, but perhaps not multiple encounters. That said it is only supposed to be 2/5ths of an encounter.I am also one of those people bewildered by its pretty feeble attack capabilities. While many people have commented that hit points may be lower in 4E (debateable and excluding the fact that healing seems far more prevailant), and also that its a Leader and thus its role may not be predominantly melee based (also bogus since its listed role is Soldier, not to mention it wields a weapon).Its attacks seem (individually at least) far too weak. Now clearly its only a Level 26 Elite Monster once you factor in those summoned allies. Without them it may be closer to Level 20. Secondly, while its abilities are individually weak, they probably tote up to a relatively tidy amount. Though this assumes Fire Resistance is scarce, or at least much less prevailant than we are used to.Its dearth of magic items is also particularly glaring considering its relative status.Still I think the good outweighs the bad.</blockquote>
