I have two questions about demons related to the Bestiary. When a demon has the "summon" ability what does the level mean beside the spell-like ability? For example:
1/day - summon(level 3, 1 babau at 40%)
What does level 3 mean?
Also, in v.3.5 there was a book about Demons that discussed demonic possession. It had a rule that demons with the ability to possess a PC (or anything else for that matter) should be considered to be at a CR +2 higher than a normal demon. Are the demons in the Bestiary considered to have this ability or not and if a GM added possession to a demon's abilities should a +2 be added to its CR?
Thanks!
The level indicates the effective level of the spell for the purposes of making concentration checks and other times you might need to know the level of the spell.
The demons in the Bestiary are NOT considered to have the ability to possess creatures... or anything else that demons got from 3.5. D&D 3rd/3.5 is compatible with Pathfinder, but it's not assumed at all. If you're interested in seeing our take on how demonic/fiendish possession works in Pathfinder, there's a big article about this in Pathfinder AP #28. Or otherwise, just use shadow demons for all your demonic possession needs, since they're the demons that are best at it.

Ted, check out that dude in the thumbnail up top! He is planning some heinous violence against those bullywugs.
Bill, I think that dude in the armor is a chick.
No way, Ted!
Way, Bill. Most definitely way. She looks kinda like your mom, dude.
Not cool, Ted. But she does look pretty wicked. Man, good thing WE'RE not bullywugs!
But if we were bullywugs, we could totally leap over tall buildings in a single bound. And breathe water. That's like more powers than Superman, Bill.
Excellent, dude! But wait, wouldn't we have to eat bugs?
. . .
Bogus.

Cool. They should make a cavalier order out of that.

Darn it, I wish I'd thought of that. Though back in an ancient 2e homebrew campaign I created an elite guard unit that had a similar training regimen. Funny how often gamers have "think share".
Will we be getting a Grey Maidens PrC??
There's a whole article on Gray Maidens in this volume, introducing them, giving details on their past and current members, and including a role giving you direction on how to play them. For more details on roles, definitely check out Player Companion: Varisia, Birthplace of Legends or Knights of the Inner Sea.
