COMBAT

Fallen Traits: As a fallen solar Apollyon possesses the following traits:
—Darkvision out to 60 feet and low-light vision.
—Immunity to acid and cold.
—Resistance to electricity 20 and fire 20.
—Fast healing 40. Apollyon can regrow severed limbs after 8 hours of rest.
—Tongues: Apollyon gains Polyglot as a bonus feat.
—Level Adjustment: +6.

Intermediate Entity Traits: Apollyon is rank 15 cosmic entity.
—Apollyon receives maximum hit points per hit die.
—Apollyon’s base movement speeds are doubled.
—+15 natural armor. Apollyon adds his Charisma bonus (minimum 1) as a deflection bonus to his AC.
—Apollyon’s senses have a base range increment of 100 ft.
—Apollyon adds a +15 cosmic bonus to: armor class; attack rolls; checks (ability checks, caster level checks, skill checks, turning checks); save DC of all special abilities, spell-like abilities, and spells; initiative; saving throws, and spell resistance.
—A roll of “1” on a d20 is not an automatic failure for Apollyon.
—Apollyon is immune to ability drain, death effects, disease, energy drain, form-altering effects, and poison.
—Apollyon is immortal and cannot die from natural causes. He does not age, nor need to eat, sleep, or breathe.
—Spell resistance equal to his CR + 12.
—Level Adjustment: +29. (no wealth adj.)

Alter Size (Sl/2): Apollyon can reduce his size down to Small or up to Gargantuan as free action.

Antigenesis (Ex): Apollyon’s divine aura inhibits the act of creation. Any spell, spell-like, or supernatural ability mimicking an effect from the calling, creation, or summoning subschools (including his own) is automatically negated unless the caster succeeds a DC 85 caster level. In addition any healing received by creatures within Apollyon’s divine aura (including himself) is halved.

Change Shape (Sl): As a move action, Apollyon can alter his form, including clothing and equipment, to that of any corporeal giant, humanoid, or monstrous humanoid.

Destroyer (Sl/3): Apollyon gains a +15 competence bonus on all damage rolls (except for that caused by his wings). Half of any damage dealt by Apollyon’s attacks results from divine power, ignoring any damage reduction, resistance, or immunity to damage his foe may possess.

Divine Aura (Sl): Apollyon’s divine aura has a radius of 850 feet. As a free action, Apollyon can adjust the size of his aura, make certain beings within the area immune, or choose from any of the following effects (DC 87 Will save negates):
—Daze: Creatures within the aura’s area of effect must make a Will save or be unable to act, other than defend themselves.
—Fear: Creatures within the aura’s area of effect must make a Will save or be shaken and suffer a -2 morale penalty on attack rolls, saves and checks.

Divine Metamagic (Sl): Apollyon may spontaneously apply a total of six levels of metamagic to his spells (or spell-like abilities) each round without increasing the spell slot required.

Domains: Apollyon’s domains grant him the following abilities:
—Chaos: Cast Chaos spells at +1 caster level.
—Destruction: Apollyon gains one additional smite attempt.

Once per round as a swift action Apollyon may duplicate any of the following spells as a supernatural ability (save DC 87 where appropriate): animate objects, chaos hammer, cloak of chaos, contaigon, disintegrate, dispel law, earthquake, harm, implosion, inflict critical wounds, inflict light wounds (mass or normal), magic circle vs. law, protection from law, word of chaos, shatter, summon monster IX (chaos only).

Harbinger of the End (Sl): Apollyon’s arrival upon a world is presaged by unnatural weather, just as if he were an Elder Evil.

Herald of Annihilation: Although once a great enemy of evil, Apollyon’s fall twisted his abilities, making him a terrible foe of all life. The following abilities replace Apollyon’s normal paladin class abilities:
—Apollyon can use deathwatch at will as a supernatural ability.
—Aura of Despair (Su): Foes with 100 feet of Apollyon to take a -4 morale penalty on all saving throws.
—Executioner’s Hand (Ex): Apollyon inflicts 4 additional points of damage when attacking foes with fewer HD/levels.
—No End But Mine (Su): Apollyon adds a +5 profane bonus to his saving throws.
—Smite (Su): Up to 5 times per day Apollyon can declare one melee attack a smite attempt, adding his Charisma bonus to his attack roll and 40 to his damage. If Apollyon misses his opponent that smiting attempt is wasted.
—Turning (Su): Apollyon can turn both undead & outsiders. When Apollyon would turn an outsider that outsider must make a Will save (DC 62) or be banished to its home plane. If Apollyon receives a destroyed result against an outsider it is not banished, but take 34d6 points of damage instead (level + Cha mod).

Improved Mettle (Ex): Once per turn as a reaction Apollyon can brace himself against the impact from a single melee attack, ranged attack, or attack that grants a Fortitude or Reflex save for half damage; automatically halving any damage taken. Apollyon can only use this ability if he is aware of the attack and not considered helpless.

Irresistible Force (Sl): Apollyon can use his Unmovable and Unstoppable abilities an unlimited number of times per day, but once a given ability is used Apollyon must wait 4 rounds before using it again.

Pinions of Oblivion (Sl/3): Apollyon’s wings appear to be literal windows into the Great Nothing that existed before Creation. Each round as a free action Apollyon may make up to 6 secondary natural incorporeal touch attacks that inflict 3d6 points of permanent damage. As a move action Apollyon may flap his wings, unleashing a hail of feather-like entropic fragments that deal 6d6 points of permanent damage to all creatures within 200 ft. (DC 83 Ref. save for half).

Quasi-Corporeal (Sl): Those who survive long enough in Apollyon's presence note that he seems to flicker at times, as if his frame were a fragile mask covering a solar-shaped hole in the fabric of the cosmos. This grants Apollyon the same miss chance against attacks as an incorporeal creature. This has no other effect on Apollyon other than allowing him to ignore the miss chance associated with attacking incorporeal foes.

Rune of Eschaton (Sl): Apollyon can prepare any spell that deals hit point damage as if it was part of the cleric list.

Shrug off Punishment (Ex): Apollyon gains 105 bonus hp.

Summon Demons (Sl): Apollyon may summon 140HD worth of demons to serve him each day; no creature summoned may have more than 47HD. Alternately Apollyon may call demons instead of summoning them at the rate of 1HD per 2HD of summoning ability expended. Summoned demons remain for 1 hour before returning whence they came.

Sweeping Strike (Ex): On each melee attack Apollyon makes, he can choose one square he threatens that is adjacent to the one he is attacking, his attack is applied to each creatures in those two squares. Apollyon may use this ability on any attack, including attacks of opportunity.

Thick-Skinned (Ex): Apollyon gains DR 9/–.

Uncanny Power Attack (Sl): Apollyon automatically power attacks for the difference between his attack roll and his foe’s armor class.

Unmovable (Ex): Apollyon may gain a +20 bonus on any of the following:
—A grapple check made to avoid the effects of the improved grab ability.
—A Strength check to avoid the effects of a bull rush, trip attempt, or similar effect.
—A Strength check against any effect that would move Apollyon either physically or magically.
—Any one saving throw. If an effect that would move Apollyon either physically or magically does not normally allow a saving throw, he use this ability to gain a Will saving throw. Apollyon still gains the +20 bonus to the saving throw in such a case.

Unstoppable (Ex): As a free action Apollyon can gain a +20 bonus on any check to break or burst a door or item. Apollyon can use this ability to break a wall of force or similar effect with a success full Strength (DC 10 + spell level + spellcasting attribute modifier), with Apollyon applying the +20 bonus to this check. Alternatively, Apollyon add +20 to a single attack roll.

Cleric Spells: 903 sp per day. Caster level 75th. Save DCs are 51 + spell level. Apollyon can prepare paladin spells using his cleric spell slots.

Prepared Spells (-/4/4/4/4/4/4/4/4/4)
1st: 4.
2nd: death knell, silence. +2 more
3rd: bestow curse, searing light, speak with dead. +1 more
4th: dismissal, dimensional anchor, free movement, sending.
5th: command (greater), flame strike, righteous might, symbol of pain.
6th: blade barrier, forbiddance, heal, true seeing.
7th: control weather, destruction, ethereal jaunt. +1 more
8th: anti-magic shell, discern location, fire storm, symbol of death.

10th soul scry, 11th ???, 12th eidolon, 13th ???, 14th ???, 15th inescapable doom, 16th ???, 17th ???, 18th ???.


ARTIFACTS
Dekakorônê: Upon Apollyon’s brow rests Dekakorônê, the ten-sided crown symbolizing his suzerainty over the 10 Dooms that presage the End of Time. Dekakorônê grants him the following benefits:
—Grants Apollyon a +10 profane bonus to AC and to the save DC of all Apollyon’s special abilities, spell-like abilities, and spells.
—Apollyon may replay up to 10 rounds of actions per day. When Apollyon replays a round, everyone else uses the same actions, while Apollyon can change his actions based on the knowledge of what everyone else will do. Apollyon can only replay a given round in this manner once.

Caster level: 85th

Revelation: Revelation is a keen halberd +10 that deals damage as a Huge weapon. Revelation can be extended and contracted at will, increasing Apollyon’s reach by 5 feet. Any time Apollyon would score a critical hit with Revelation he can choose nullify either all his target’s extraordinary abilities, spells & spell-like abilities, or supernatural abilities until the start of his next turn. A creature cannot be subject to this effect more than once per round.

Caster level: 85th

Tunic: This tunic of white linen, which remains unaffected by the gore and damage of Apollyon’s rampages, functions as moderate fortification robes of armor +15 that grant a +10 resistance bonus to Apollyon’s saving throws.

Caster level: 85th

Misc: ???

DESIGNER NOTES

1. I still need to assign skill points
2. Herald of Annihilation needs 2 abilities to replace divine health and the paladin's mount.
3. I changed Shrug Off Punishement to grant bonus HP equal to 1/2 the character's level each time a LD receives it.
4. Apollyon has +39 pts of artifact bonus remaining.
5. Despite being a fallen solar, I did not use the SRD solar stats as a base. I created a 35HD large outsider using the rules in v6 of the CR calculator and added benefits from there.

Hero
A simple low-level abomination, the nemean lion. For create it I use the Luis Loza version (Monstrous Physique — Nemean Lion | Know Direction) and the Grogrisant (Grogrisant – d20PFSRD - Grogrisant - PathfinderWiki) which is the PF version of a similar nemean lion. For the artifact version I take inspiration from the Mantle of the Grogrisant (Mantle of the Grogrisant - Equipment - Archives of Nethys: Pathfinder 2nd Edition Database). The power level of the nemean lion is deliberately low. I reckon that a non-epic optimized party can deal with the lion and eliminate it.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Blazing Mane (Su)
When in an area of normal or brighter light, the Nemean lion’s golden mane blazes like the sun. Creatures more than 60 feet away treat the beast as having total concealment due to the dazzling brilliance, and any creature within 60 feet that looks at the Nemean lion must succeed at a DC 30 Fortitude save or be permanently blinded. Creatures can avert their eyes as if this were a gaze attack. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Divine Traits (Abomination) (Ex)
As an abomination, the Nemean lion gains a +4 divine bonus to: armor class; attack rolls; checks (ability checks, caster level checks, skill checks, etc.); difficulty class (for any special abilities, spell-like abilities, spells); initiative; saving throws and spell resistance. The Nemean lion’s natural attacks or any weapons he wields, are treated as epic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. The Nemean lion does not age and requires no food or drink to sustain himself.

Golden Fur (Ex)
The Nemean lion is immune to physical damage to hit points not generated with a spell, spell-like ability, supernatural ability, or psionic power (like weapon or natural weapons) unless the originator is mythic. Non-mythic attacks can only damage the Nemean lion if they have the ability to overcome epic damage reduction, like with a +6 weapon or the Godslayer ability of an Elder Wyrm. The Nemean lion is not immune to physical damage caused with grappling.

Grant Spells
The Nemean lion can grant up to 7th-level spells. This does not require any specific action on the Nemean lion behalf. It grant access to the domains of Animal, Strength, and Sun and to the subdomains of Ferocity, Fur, and Light.

Might (Ex)
The Nemean lion deals d10's for base damage dice of all melee, natural weapon, and unarmed attacks with virtual size categories, and its damage dice cannot go below this dice but this cannot increase to more dice than its HD.

Mythic (Ex)
The Nemean lion has Mythic Power (4/day, Surge +1d8) and counts as a 4th-rank Mythic creature. The Nemean lion can use any of his spell-like abilities effect as the Mythic versions of those spells (if a Mythic version of that spell exists), expending Mythic Power as normal. It can also expend Mythic Power to use the augmented versions of these spells.

Powerful Bite (Ex)
The Nemean lion’s bite attack applies 1-1/2 times its Strength modifier on damage rolls and threatens a critical hit on a roll of 19–20.

Quick Recovery (Ex)
Whenever the Nemean lion is blinded, dazed, dazzled, deafened, nauseated, paralyzed, sickened, or stunned, reduce the duration of that condition by half (minimum 1 round). Any other effects relating to the source of that condition are unaffected; for example, if the Nemean lion is panicked and sickened from an eyebite spell, the panicked effect has the normal duration even though it is sickened for only half as long.

Rend Armor (Ex)
Whenever Nemean lion inflict rend damage to an opponent, the damage is also inflict to the opponent’s armor. Creatures not wearing armor are unaffected by this special attack. Armor reduced to 0 hit points is destroyed. Damaged armor may be repaired with a successful Craft (armorsmithing) check.

Sharp Claws (Ex)
The Nemean lion’s claws are extremely sharp, allowing them to ignore any armor bonuses to AC and hardness less than 10.

Shimmering Coat (Su)
The Nemean lion adds its natural armor bonus to its touch AC.

Shrug It Off (Ex)
Whenever a critical hit is confirmed against the Nemean lion, it can expend one use of its mythic power as an immediate action to convert the critical hit into a normal hit. Effects that trigger only on a critical hit don’t trigger when it use this ability to negate the critical hit.

Squamous (Ex)
The Nemean lion natural armor is equal to ¾ its HD instead of ¼.


Mantle of the Nemean Lion (Lesser Artifact)

Aura
strong abjuration; CL 18th; Slot shoulders; Weight 1 lb.; Price
This long, golden cloak is a mythical artifact. It was fashioned from the pelt of the Nemean lion itself, after being slain by Hercules, and the lion's mane was fashioned into a thick fringe that runs all along the mantle's edges. The paws of the Nemean lion cross beneath the wearer's throat, giving the owner an imposing appearance. The Mantle of the Nemean Lion work as a cloak of resistance +4 and grants fire resistance 30 and DR 10/epic and piercing to the wearer.

Once per day as a move action, the wearer can pull the hood of the mantle over his face, revealing the eyes of the Nemean lion. The mantle gives off a flash of blinding light in a 60-foot cone. All creatures within this area must attempt a Reflex save DC 30. On a failure, they're permanently blinded.
DESTRUCTION
The Mantle of the Nemean Lion is a symbol of pride and conquest. The Mantle of the Nemean Lion is destroyed if the wearer makes a gesture of extreme humility and submission towards a person considered inferior (generally any creature with 1/10 or less HD than the wearer).

Hero
Amazon Template (CR +3)
I take inspiration from this template (the avater of Ares in the manual is a CR 25/MR 10)
The first amazon was the daughter of a nymph and a god of war, carrying his divine blood in her veins and his battle lust in her hearts. She later had several descendants, and however diluted their divine blood was compared to hers, they all retained a spark. A hearty group of warrior women, amazons derive their strength not only from their sacred heritage, but also from warrior traditions, experience on the battlefield, and a strong culture of discipline and valor. Though capable of bearing male children, male children born to amazons lack the magical heritage of their cosmic ancestors. In general, male amazons are given to other peoples to raise, keeping their tribes pure of those without sacred power in their blood. This serves the dual purpose of keeping their culture intact and ensuring that their tribes are constantly protected by their strongest warriors.

Creating an Amazon
“Amazon” is an inherited template that can be applied to any female creature with at least an Intelligence score of 4 (referred to hereafter as the base creature). Amazons are most commonly born as humans, though in rare cases other races are found to carry the blood of of the god of war. Amazons are stronger and faster than other members of their race, and each carries a divine spark that allows her to access battle rage and call upon divine intervention for success in warfare. An amazon uses the base creature’s stats and abilities except as noted here.

CR: Same as the base creature +3.

Armor class: The base creature gains a +4 dodge bonus to AC.

Speed: An amazon’s base speed is increased by 10 feet.

Defensive Abilities: An amazon gains DR 10/magic and the following defensive ability.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex)
An amazon gains the ability to react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She cannot be caught flat-footed, nor does she lose his Dex bonus to AC if the attacker is invisible. She still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if she is immobilized. An amazon with this ability can still lose his Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against her. If an amazon acquire uncanny dodge from another source, she automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead.

Special Attacks: An amazon gains the following special attack.

Battle Shout (Ex)
An amazon can call upon her divine blood within her in order to unleash a powerful shout that increases her combat abilities. Shouting is a swift action usable only when the amazon is physically capable of shouting (an amazon mute or under a silence effect cannot use this ability), the power last until the start of her next turn and can be maintained as a free action at the start of her turn. An Amazon can tap this power in order to gain an extra attack each round at her highest base attack bonus when using the full attack action (this extra attack does not stack with haste or similar abilities) and to deal maximum damage with her manufactured or natural attacks (treating the dice roll for weapons as though they were the maximum possible roll for that weapon). This only affects the weapon’s base damage dice and not additional damage dice, such as from sneak attack, vital strike or the flaming weapon special ability. The amazon can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to her base attack bonus plus her Charisma modifier (if positive).

Rage Powers (Ex)
An amazon gains one rage power plus one additional rage power at 4 HD and every 3 HD thereafter. An amazon qualified for the Extra Rage Power feat. This rage powers are active only when the amazon is under the effect of battle shout, using it in place of rage. The amazon use her HD as her barbarian level for this rage powers. If she acquires rage power through other mains (primary class features), this rage powers are independent and are only active when the amazon is under the effect of battle shout (the other rage powers are not activated). If she take the Extra Rage Power feat, she must chose in which category place the newly acquired rage power.

Special Qualities: An amazon gains the following special qualities.

Combat Comfort (Ex)
Amazons are always proficient with martial weapons and all kinds of armor and shields, including tower shields. An amazon halves the armor check penalty of any armor or shield she is wearing, and she treats the maximum Dexterity bonus of any armor or shield as though it were 2 higher than it actually is. Finally, her speed is never reduced by medium or heavy armor. Additionally, whenever an amazon would gain an increase in speed, such as from a feat or class feature (like the fast movement of the barbarian), her base speed is increased by an additional 5 feet (this not increase the speed obtained with the template).

Gift of War (Su)
Once each day, an amazon can beg a favor of the war god in order to grant her a greater chance in combat. As an immediate action, an amazon can gains the benefit of a true strike spell.

Marching to War (Ex)
An amazon may hustle with less difficult of other creatures; hustle movement counts as a walk for the purpose of accruing nonlethal damage and fatigue. An amazon also treats all her ability scores as being higher for the purpose of meeting the prerequisites of combat feats. The amount she adds to each of her ability scores for this purpose is equal to ½ her HD (minimum 1).

Woodland Stride (Ex)
An amazon may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect her.

Skills: An amazon gains +8 racial bonus on Acrobatics, Climb, Intimidate, Perception, and Swim checks. An amazon always treats Acrobatics, Climb, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Perception, Ride, and Swim as class skills. Otherwise, skills are the same as the base creature.

Abilities: Strength +4, Dexterity +4, Constitution +4, Charisma +6.

Feats: An amazon gains Cleave, Endurance, Improved Initiative, Improved Unarmed Strike, Power Attack, and Weapon Finesse as bonus feats, even if she does not meet the prerequisites.
