The 'scholarly devourer' who's wandering around in Golismorga, for anyone who's forgotten.
Has anyone done anything interesting with him roleplaying-wise, or is he just a speed-bump combat encounter?
I can sorta see potential with him, though he's going to need some of his skill points reassigned into Knowledges before we can realistically call him a 'scholarly' devourer as he's referred to in the magazine. I've also put some skill points into Use Magic Device, redone some of his feats (Quicken spell-like ability is in, Combat Casting is out...) and spellstitched him (blacklight, shadow net, false life), to make him a bit more likely to survive more than one combat round (c'mon, 78hp at CR11?)
There's also his Lesser Planar Ally spell-like ability. That's got to be useful for something, though probably not much in the way of combat assistance. Can anyone think of any 6hd outsiders that might be useful to him?

I used him as the means to convey Golismorga's sheer icky-creepiness. He is an ideal method to convey at least a hint of the horror of the aboleth city...
If you want a peek at an upgunned stat block, take a look at mine (at the end of the campaign journal "Madman GM's the Savage Tide", you will find most of my stat blocks. His is one of those...) and then spellstitch it. ^_^
