Trying to fabricate a CR 23 unique devil - Lorthact
There are no spoilers here really since I did not mention the disguise. Also the GM request in the subject line. :)
An exiled Infernal Duke...is he a pit fiend? If so, then following Bestiary 1 PG.80-81, which unusual spell-like abilities or unique powers would you give him to bump him up from a CR20 (following PitFiend's CR) to a CR23? Trying to adhere to the CR23 guideline as suggested in Academy of Secrets Module. I have looked at the Infernal (template?) from a D&D SRD page but the long list of epic qualities of a CR26 seemed daunting in toning tone.
Wondering if anyone else out there will use Academy of Secrets in conjunction with Curse of the Crimson Throne. I plan to run it before Scarwall. Lorthact will make his appearance later on when the party is hopefully 20th level.
