If you go to http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-monster-talk/256978-mayfair-games-r..., you'll find an ongoing effort by me to get all the monsters from Role Aids' Demons Line uploaded to enworld for conversion. As a result, I figured I'd start a topic on Planewalker to see if we could make them work in Planescape.
If you haven't ever read the Demons material, there were a slew of unique, high level demons to be summoned for various purposes. If one were creative enough (which I never was), you could probably make an entire campaign out of combatting their various powers of temptation and such. Anyway, I figure I'll start with the Court of the Pit and then move down the ranks.
Amdosias, King of the Pit
Amdosias is the name of Asmodeus's favored Pit Fiend, a sort of Prince Regent of Nessus. Given Asmodeus's busy schedule, he sees no need to punish mortals that scrawl the summoning symbols incorrectly: in his stead, Amdosias lashes the souls of those with the temerity to call on the Red Lord of the Nine Hells, much less those with the stupidity to fail at the summoning. The slight different in the spelling of Amdosias' and Asmodeus' names is intentional, as that means the King of the Pit (literally: it's a black walled pit filled with larvae and other damned from which Amdosias rules) is frequently called forth by accident.
Heh. Amdosias reminds me of Moe Lane's Beliar, right down to the name (a slight misspelling of the Belial, the Demon Prince of Fire) and his role answering summons from stupid and/or inept demon-summoners. In Moe's words:
...
However, the Calabite's motto is, "If I'm going to be Summoned instead of Belial, then you're going to damn well treat me like Belial". There will be beer. There will be a comfortable chair. There will be female eye candy, wearing a minimum of clothing. There will be a lot of genuflecting, prostrating and general kissing of Beliar's demonic posterior. There will be all of these things, brought forth with all due speed, or there will be trouble. Trouble usually manifests itself with a shotgun blast to the head of the most tiresome Sorcerer present, usually followed by more shotgun blasts and general carnage.
