View source for SRD:Barbed Devil

===Combat===
Barbed devils eagerly fight with their claws, trying to impale their opponents. They use ''[[SRD:Hold Person|hold person]]'' to immobilize those who avoid their hug attacks.

A barbed 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]].

'''[[SRD:Fear|Fear]] ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' A creature hit by a barbed devil must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 20 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Will save]] or be affected as though by ''[[SRD:Fear|fear]]'' ([[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] 9th).  

Whether or not the save is successful, that creature cannot be affected by that same barbed devil’s [[SRD:Fear|fear]] ability for 24 hours. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based.

'''Impale ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' A barbed devil deals 3d8+9 points of piercing damage to a grabbed opponent with a successful [[SRD:Grapple|grapple check]].  

'''[[SRD:Improved Grab|Improved Grab]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' To use this ability, a barbed devil must hit with a claw attack. It can then attempt to start a [[SRD:Grapple|grapple]] as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]] without provoking an [[SRD:Attacks of Opportunity|attack of opportunity]]. If it wins the [[SRD:Grapple|grapple check]], it establishes a hold and can impale the opponent on its barbed body.

'''''Summon Devil'' ([[SRD:Sp|Sp]]):''' Once per day a barbed devil can attempt to summon 1d6 [[SRD:Bearded Devil|bearded devils]] or another barbed devil with a 35% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 4th-level spell.

'''Barbed Defense ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' Any creature striking a barbed devil with handheld weapons or [[SRD:Natural Weapons|natural weapons]] takes 1d8+6 points of piercing and slashing damage from the devil’s barbs. Note that weapons with exceptional [[SRD:Reach Weapon|reach]], such as [[SRD:Longspear|longspears]], do not endanger their users in this way.

'''[[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|Spell-Like Abilities]]:''' At will—''[[SRD:Greater Teleport|greater teleport]]'' (self plus 50 pounds of objects only), ''[[SRD:Hold Person|hold person]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 16), ''[[SRD:Major Image|major image]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 17), ''[[SRD:Scorching Ray|scorching ray]]'' (2 rays only). 1/day—''[[SRD:Order's Wrath|order’s wrath]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 18), ''[[SRD:Unholy Blight|unholy blight]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 18). [[SRD:Caster Level|Caster level]] 12th. The save [[SRD:DC|DCs]] are [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based.
