Two quick questions
1) The Chortov shows no CL for his Spell-Like Abilities, what is it?
2) The Lar has a Melee value of "-". Is something missing? Why have a Melee of - when there is no data?

BTW, the order on all the Idol entries for the fields of SQ and Languages is incorrect. You have SQ then Languages, it should be Languages then SQ

Thanks

I don't know, but made it up. Checking other - HD-equivalent/infernal-power-equivalent - devils, it should be 12th.

The chortov seems to speak no languages at all, so I gave it the standard languages for all devils (who can speak): Celestial, Common, Draconic, Infernal, and Telepathy 100 ft.

This devil doesn't have Spell Resistance - something that seems to be odd, so I gave it a SR of 20 (10 + HD, like [almost] all other devils).

See in Darkness (Su) and Darkvision (Ex) it should have, too (poor thing, :o) )

Edit:
The "unique armor" should have the following characteristics (or someting like that): Chortov Unique Armor [Heavily Reinforced Breastplate - see image], Armor Bonus +9, MDB +3, ACP -3 [including mwk bonus], ASFC 25%, Speed 30 ft. [from 40 ft.], Weight 240 pounds, heavy armor.

That sould modify the chortov's speed from 40 ft. to 30 ft. and lower the Climb bonus from +21 to +18, and the Escape Artist bonus from +8 to +5 if you don't add a class skill bonus of +3 to the latter.

The fork could have characteristics similar to a huge trident: Fork, Cost ?, Damage 3d6, Critical x2, Weight 16 pounds, Piercing, two-handed martial weapon.

Comments?

Sorry it took so long to reply...

1) When a monster has no CL listed for spell-like abilities, that CL is assumed to equal its Hit Dice. In the case of the chortov, we simply forgot to list a CL for his spell-like abilities, but CL 10th is about right.

2) The lar is a very unusual monster; it's one of only a very few I've ever seen in ANY version of the game that doesn't have any attacks. We listed its Melee attacks with an em-dash because if we'd simply cut the Melee line entirely, it would have really looked like an error. By listing it with the em-dash, it's obvious that the monster has no attacks.

3) We sometimes mess up the order of information presented in stat blocks for various reasons—it should be happening less now that we've got a pretty robust excel spreadsheet we use to build stats. When the entries appear out of order, that's not really something we can afford to get too worried about since all the information is still there, and there's always PLENTY of more damaging typos and errors to agonize and lose sleep over. ;-)

... and the Chortov should change the feat Throw Anything to Improved Bull Rush (a prerequisite for Awesome Blow).

He wouldn't throw his fork with a ranged attack bonus of +6 anyway. :o)
