SPECIAL TRAITS

• Devil’s Sight. Magical darkness doesn’t impede the gilded devil’s darkvision.
• Golden Flail. The gilded devil’s Golden Flail attacks are magical. When the devil hits with the Golden Flail, the flail deals an extra 4d6 fire damage (included in the attack). In addition, the devil can transform the flail into gold jewelry or back into a weapon as a bonus action.
• Liar’s Largesse. If a creature accepts a gift of jewelry from the gilded devil, the creature becomes cursed until cured by a remove curse spell or similar magic. While cursed, the creature has disadvantage on saving throws against the devil’s spells and abilities.
• Magic Resistance. The gilded devil has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

ACTIONS

• Multiattack. The gilded devil makes two Golden Flail attacks or three Hurl Flame attacks.
• Golden Flail. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d10 + 5) bludgeoning damage plus 14 (4d6) fire damage.
• Hurl Flame. Ranged Spell Attack: +7 to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (3d6 + 4) fire damage.
• Teleport (Recharge 4–6). The gilded devil magically teleports, along with any equipment it is wearing or carrying, up to 120 feet to an unoccupied space it can see.
• Voracious Greed. The gilded devil magically consumes up to 1 cubic foot of nonmagical jewelry or coins made of precious material within 5 feet of it. It regains 5 hp for every 200 gp of the consumed objects’ value. If the jewelry or coins are being worn or carried by a creature, that creature must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw to prevent the consumption.
• Spellcasting. The gilded devil casts one of the following spells, requiring no material components and using Wisdom as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 15):
• At will: alter self, detect thoughts, suggestion
• 3/day each: charm person, scrying

BONUS ACTIONS

• Betrayal of Riches (Recharge 4–6). One creature wearing jewelry (an object made of precious material and worth at least 100 gp) the gilded devil can see within 60 feet of it must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the target takes 13 (3d8) bludgeoning damage and suffers an effect until it finishes a short rest. The effect is based on the location of the worn jewelry (devil’s choice if worn in multiple locations): on upper limbs, its melee damage is halved; on lower limbs, its speed is halved; on head, it is blinded or deafened (devil’s choice); on body, it has vulnerability to bludgeoning damage. On a success, the target takes half the damage and doesn’t suffer an additional effect.

ABOUT

This tall, bronze-complexioned man is abnormally long-limbed and clad in armor of stained and battered coins. His wiry frame is festooned with mismatched bracelets, rings, and necklaces, each gaudier than the last.

Servants of Mammon. Rarely seen in their natural form outside of Hell, gilded devils are the servitors of the devil-god Mammon, Lord of Greed. They tempt and corrupt with promises of wealth and power, twisting mortal greed into sure damnation.

Impression of Wisdom. When pursuing a mortal of high standing, gilded devils prefer unassuming appearances, molding their flesh and gaudy trappings to make themselves look the parts of wise advisers, canny merchants, or sly confidants. Even in their humblest form, gilded devils always wear a piece of golden jewelry or a jeweled button or ornament.
