View source for Mist Devil (3.5e Monster)

=== Combat ===

Mist devils are terrifying creatures in war who can throw the entire battlefield into a storm of ice and practically blind every combatant involved. In battle, a mist devil takes no mercy, and takes each step with an exact kind of determination and calculating precision that strikes fear into their enemies hearts. Whenever a mist devil is first heading into a fight, they will tend to teleport to just a two hundred feet to the side of their quarry, and use ''[[SRD:Sleet Storm|sleet storm]]'' and ''[[SRD:Solid Fog|solid fog]]'' to blind his enemies and hold them back, and then begin to repeatedly use ''[[SRD:Cloudkill|cloudkill]]'' to weaken his enemies. If the mist devils quarry manages to survive this, then the devil will move in quickly, and begin to attack his foes in direct combat.

A mist devil’s [[SRD:Natural Weapons|natural weapons]], as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned and lawful-aligned for the purpose of overcoming [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]]. 

'''{{Anchor|Aura of Fog}} {{Su}}:''' Mist devils are so named for the fact that they are seemingly always encased in thick fog that shrouds everything around them. A bank of mist is always surrounding them in a 60 foot radius cloud that obscures all sight, including [[SRD:Darkvision|darkvision]], beyond 5 feet. All creatures within 5 feet, other than the mist devil itself, have [[SRD:Concealment|concealment]] (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away, and the mist devil (no matter his distance away), have total [[SRD:Concealment|concealment]] (50% miss chance, and the attacker can’t use sight to locate the target). This mist cannot be completely blown away by any force of wind, though, a moderate wind (11+ mph) makes the mist shrink, in 4 [[SRD:Round|rounds]] of time, to the point that it only occupies a 5 foot radius around the devil. A strong wind (21+ mph) does this in 1 [[SRD:Round|round]].

'''{{Anchor|Infernal Wound}} {{Su}}:''' The damage a mist devil deals with its [[SRD:Greatsword|Greatsword]] causes a persistent wound. An injured creature loses 2 additional [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] each [[SRD:Round|round]]. The wound does not [[SRD:Heal|heal]] naturally and resists [[SRD:Heal|healing]] [[SRD:Creature Spells and Powers#Spells|spells]]. The continuing hit point loss can be stopped by a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 21 [[SRD:Heal Skill|Heal]] check, a ''cure'' spell, or a ''[[SRD:Heal|heal]]'' spell. However, a character attempting to cast a ''cure'' spell or a ''[[SRD:Heal|heal]]'' spell on a creature damaged by a mist devil’s [[SRD:Greatsword|Greatsword]] must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 21 [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] check, or the spell has no effect on the injured character. 

A successful [[SRD:Heal Skill|Heal]] check automatically stops the continuing hit point loss as well as restoring [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]]. The infernal wound is a [[SRD:Supernatural Ability|supernatural ability]] of the mist devil, not of the weapon. The check [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based.

'''{{Anchor|See in Darkness}} {{Su}}:''' Mist devils can see perfectly in darkness of any kind, even that created by a ''[[SRD:Deeper Darkness|deeper darkness]]'' spell.

'''[[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|Spell-Like Abilities]]:''' At will—''[[SRD:Greater Teleport|greater teleport]]'' (self plus 50 pounds of objects only), ''[[SRD:Fog Cloud|fog cloud]]'', ''[[SRD:Control Winds|control winds]]'', ''[[SRD:Sleet Storm|sleet storm]]'', ''[[SRD:Unseen Servant|unseen servant]]''; 3/day—''[[SRD:Control Weather|control weather]]'', ''[[SRD:Cloudkill|cloudkill]]'', ''[[SRD:Solid Fog|solid fog]]''. [[SRD:Caster Level|Caster level]] 15th. The save [[SRD:DC|DCs]] are [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based.

'''''{{Anchor|Summon Devil}}'' {{Sp}}:''' Once per day a mist devil can attempt to summon 1d4 [[Sight Devil (3.5e Monster)|sight devils]] with a 50% chance of success, or another mist devil with a 40% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 3rd-level spell.

'''{{Anchor|Terrifying Precision}} {{Su}}:''' A mist devil is a terrifying entity that can almost reshape the world just merely with the terror that it inflicts upon those around it. A mist devil receives an insight bonus to [[SRD:Attack Roll|attack rolls]] and [[SRD:Armor Class|AC]] equal to it's [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma modifier]].
