SPECIAL TRAITS

• Devil’s Sight. Magical darkness doesn’t impede the devil’s darkvision.
• Innate Spellcasting. Baaphel’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 23, +15 to hit with spell attacks). He can cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
• At will: bane, charm monster, detect evil and good, dispel magic, fire shield, invisibility, magic circle, suggestion, teleport (self only), tongues
• 1/day each: flesh to stone, symbol
• Legendary Resistance (3/day). If Baaphel fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.
• Magic Resistance. Baaphel has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
• Magic Weapons. Baaphel’s weapon attacks are magical.
• Regeneration. Baaphel regains 10 hit points at the start of his turn. If Baaphel takes damage from a silvered weapon, this trait doesn’t function at the start of Baaphel’s next turn. Baaphel is destroyed only if he starts his turn with 0 hit points and doesn’t regenerate.

ABOUT

Grand Duke Baaphel, the Lustful Hound, is a 10-foot-tall humanoid with the head of a horned hell hound, a humanoid torso, hooved feet, and the wings of a bat. He bears a wicked war scythe and is wreathed in hellfire. A forked crimson tails snakes out behind the arch devil. Once a beautiful member of the choirs of angels, Baaphel’s visage now reflects the bestial nature of his corruption.

Baaphel is a grand duke in the service of Belial and leads two legions of bearded devils in battle for his lord. Baaphel is constantly scheming against the other dukes in Belial’s service and takes every opportunity to discredit them in the eyes of their lord. Baaphel yearns to rule an entire plane and is waiting anxiously until the time comes that he can overthrow his lord. He makes his home in a storm-swept castle of basalt and iron known as Evermore.
