I am working on making a campaign for my group who are playing Pathfinder, I wanted to use a devil in the campaign but the pre-built stat blocks are all too strong to put against my party. I'm looking for some tips on how to change the stat blocks so as to reduce the creature's levels and power. If no one has any ideas or advice I will just work on building a new monster for the purpose but I was hoping to avoid having to do that since it is my first campaign.
You could give him negative levels? -1 penalty to all rolls, 5 less max hp, and level-dependent abilities -1 per two levels, such as sneak attack or so...
Or you could see the part in the bestiary to advance monsters by adding HD and reverse that...
Or you could add the young template...
Or you could decrease size...
