Monsters: Monster Manual V Devils

Monsters: Monster Manual V Devils

I want to finish converting the D&D devils (there's probably going to be four more posts after this one), because I have another, more interesting project in mind.

    Punch (14): thrust 1d+1 crushing (KYOS: 2d+1 crushing), Reach C-1.
    Ingest Evil: If the gulthir swallows a fiend whole, the swallowed fiend also loses 3 HP per second, restoring 3 HP per second to the gulthir. Victims with abilities such as Innate Attack and Spines can hit the gulthir automatically while swallowed. The gulthir gets no active defense against internal attacks. The victim can escape the pin as usual, climbing back up the gulthir’s throat.
    Swallow of Domination (9): If a gulthir swallows a sapient being whole, it can take a Concentrate maneuver to dominate it as per the Mind Control advantage (p. B68). Then, the gulthir may disgorge the victim with a Ready maneuver. The disgorged victim is covered in slime, and as long as he is controlled by the gulthir, his eyes are coated with an even thicker layer of white slime. Controlling the victim does not require constant attention or concentration on part of the gulthir. The mind control effect ends if the victim’s eyes are washed with holy water.
