Chelaxian Devil Binders

[Guppy Keelhaul]

My husband wants to play a Chelaxian Devil Binder when I run RotRL. Will you guys be making a prestige classes like this in any future products or adventure paths?

You could try something like the Demonbinder PrC from Drow of the Underdark if nothing is forthcoming in a hurry.

There are no plans as of yet for a Chelaxian devil binder prestige class.

Which means make up your own, and post it here, ladies and gentlemen.

You could probably adapt the thaumaturgist PrC from the DMG with only a little effort.

Some other possible (non-OGL) starting points: acolyte of the skin (CAr), diabolist, demonologist (switching alignment/outsiders summoned), and disciple of Asmodeus (BoVD).

Or the Feindbinder from Tome of Magic. you utilize truename magic to bind evil outsiders to your will, permanently.

[Blind Azathoth]

There's also the Fiendbinder from Tome of Magic's Truename Magic section. You don't have to be a Truenamer to take it, however; it's built for arcane and divine spellcasters (primarily arcane), although the Truespeak skill is involved in binding the fiends.

EDIT: Dang, beaten to it.

I have a concept for a high level Devil Binder. Something that not most of them would do or be able to accomplish.

But basically a Wizard who has fused his soul with the essence of an Ice Devil. The Ice devil is bound to him and can manifest partially as a sort of aura around the Wizard, granting him the use of a few of his spell-like abilities, and his fear aura.

Working on some fan-art type stuff for it too. I just found the whole idea of Chelaxian Devil Binders (And the other variants of Wizards with different kinds of familiars) very interesting. So I decided to expand a bit on this particular Devil Binder.

I see the Fiendbinder has already been suggested. It should be relatively easy to adapt that PrC to a campaign that doesn't use Truenaming by just using Diplomacy checks for Devils (after all, they are lawful beings) and Intimidate/Bluff checks for demons. It may be necessary to tweak the DCs upwards a bit, but the overall effect should work well.

By removing or inverting the alignment restriction and limiting it to arcane casters only, the malconvoker (Complete Scoundrel) would be just about perfect.

[Guppy Keelhaul]

He is currently planning on running a conjuration specialist--just didn't want it to get looped up if the charming folks at Paizo decided to make a special prestige class for it.

I mentioned some of these ideas to him though and he is going to look at a couple of them. Thanks!

There's also the Nar Demonbinder from Unapproachable East (FR supplement).

[Demiurge 1138]

Fiendish Codex 2 has "investiture" spells, which infuse the recipient with the abilities of different devils. If you're looking to give the character some fiendish flavor before the prestige class, it's probably a good place to start.
