Saving Throws Str +19, Con +19, Int +19, Wis +17, Cha +18 Discorporation. When Asmodeus drops to 0 hit points or dies, his body is destroyed but his essence travels back to his domain in the Nine Hells, and he is unable to take physical form for a time. However, if he is killed in his domain of Nessus, this does not happen. Innate Spellcasting. Asmodeus' innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence (Spell save DC 30, +22 to hit). Asmodeus can cast the following spells without needing components or expending a spell slot, and all are cast at the highest possible level: At will: animate dead, geas, ice storm, thunderwave, fire bolt, chill touch, bestow curse, fireball, chain lightning, disguise self, identify, blight, phantasmal force Limited Magic Immunity. Asmodeus can't be affected or detected by spells of 6th level or lower unless he wishes to be. He has advantage on saving throws against all other spells and magical effects. Master of Hellfire. Fire damage from Asmodeus ignores resistance, and creatures with immunity instead take half damage as if they had resistance. Regeneration. Asmodeus regains 50 hit points at the start of his turn if he has at least 1 hit point. Magic Weapons. Asmodeus's weapon attacks are magical. Legendary Resistance (5/Day). If Asmodeus fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead. ACTIONSMultiattack. Asmodeus can use his frightful presence. He then makes six attacks. He can forgo two of these attacks to instead cast one of his at-will spells. Ruby Rod Strike (+3). Melee Weapon Attack: +22 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 49 (8d8 + 13) piercing damage plus 18 (4d8) fire damage. Hellfire Burst (+3). Ranged Weapon Attack: +22 to hit, reach 200/800 ft., one target. Hit: 53 (9d8 + 13) fire damage. Frightful Presence. Each creature of Asmodeus’s choice that is within 200 feet of Asmodeus and aware of him must succeed on a DC 30 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to Asmodeus's Frightful Presence for 24 hours. Soul Bartering. Asmodeus can grant any humanoid one wish (using the spell wish) in its lifetime on the condition that the PC is bound to him after death. Asmodeus can make minor changes to the wishes if he wants. Asmodeus suffers no harmful effects from this action. Reverie of Nessus (1/Day). Asmodeus encases himself in a protective barrier which heals him and stops enemies from attacking him. This barrier acts as a globe of invulnerability. The Reverie of Nessus lasts for three rounds, with a different effect for each one:
BONUS ACTIONSInnate Spellcasting. Asmodeus innately casts one spell. Loyalty to the Lord. If Asmodeus' rod was ever knocked or taken out of his hand, he instantly teleports it back into his palm "Now you see me". Asmodeus teleports anywhere within his line of sight or in the nine hells. LEGENDARY ACTIONSAsmodeus can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Asmodeus regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn. Chilling Gaze. Asmodeus gazes at one creature within 30 ft., the target makes a Wisdom Save of DC 30. On a failed save target takes 3d10 psychic damage, the target becomes frightened for 30 seconds and gains 1 level of exhaustion. On gaining six levels of exhaustion from this feature, the creature doesn’t die but is instead permanently dominated by Asmodeus. |
In the lightless depths of the Nine Hells dwells the Lord of Lies. Asmodeus, the ancient and cunning, cloaked in shadow, his true form hidden from all. Millennia of infernal politics could not topple the undisputed King of Baator, though the archdevils serve him through gritted fangs. His power remains unmatched by devilkind, and his schemes unfold over spans of time immeasurable. With eyes of blazing ruby, fair of form and honeyed voice, the silver-tongued prince tempts mortal and god alike. Though none can comprehend the labyrinthine motivations of the Cloven One, all tremble at the Serpent's wrath. And yet, beneath his pleasing guise, wounds of eons past still plague the Great Deceiver. His lifeblood weeps from rends no magic can mend, and so the Lord of the Ninth feasts upon mortal souls to fuel his divinity. In his true form, that none may gaze upon and live, he is a devouring serpent. Coiled within the lightless Pit, vaster than the mortal mind can fathom, the snarling fiend dreams of reforging reality to suit his twisted desires. All serve in his grand schemes, pawn and king alike. The multiverse shall tremble when at last his machinations bear their poisoned fruit. But until the appointed hour, the subtle Architect of Hell weaves his web of lies and gilded falsehoods. None may pierce his veil of deception until the Prince of Evil stands triumphant over the ruin of creation. |
