Baalthezar

[Back to creatures]

Fiends of Sanguineth

Sanguineth houses a brutal, sweltering jungle known as Ogshora, which both grows and decays at an unnerving pace. None can take the same path between strongholds multiple times, as the jungle changes too rapidly for roads to be established. Within Ogshora, rivers of blood flow between fleshy tumorous growths vaguely reminiscent of mangroves. The fiends of this domain relish in emotion, be it rage, envy, or lust, and do little to curb their voracious desires besides indulge in horrific excess as they hunt through the claustrophobic foliage, which can be just as deadly as the fiends themselves.

Baalthezar

Appearing like a satyr after some horrible experiment, a Baalthezar has the torso of a human with three arms, the head of a goat with three horns and three eyes, and three goat legs. Immensely cunning, this fiend delights in communing with and corrupting witch covens, making deals with mortals, and entering pacts that will force others to further the Baalthezar’s own agenda.

Features
Shapeshifter (3/Day). The Baalzethar may spend 30 seconds shapeshifting to take the form of a black Goat or an Swarm of Ravens three times per day. While in this form it uses the corresponding stats but has +6 to Deceiving. It remains in this form for up to 4 hours or until it decides to end the shapeshift, reverting to its original form instantaneously. Dealmaker. The Baalzethar may bind any willing mortal to a contract signed in blood. If broken, the violator must make a DC17 CHA check, taking 65 (10d12) psychic on a failed check and ½ as much on a successful one. Share Power. The Baalzethar may bestow a willing mortal with a fraction of its power. Doing so gives the mortal the Witch Entry Talent, but the mortal must choose Initiate of the Occult from this talent. Sharing power in this way lowers the Baalzethar’s maximum HP by 10 but increases its AR by one. The Baalzethar may only Share Power with up to 5 mortals at a time. Occult Ritualist.
