Sure, devil may be a creature type in 5e, but Asmodeus is quite definitively, the Devil, at least in the Forgotten Realms. [87], A more active example of Asmodeus's influence was his propagation of false religions. [171][172], Only Graz'zt could say if he had truly severed ties with Asmodeus or was secretly colluding with him and either answer didn't preclude him from changing his mind later. This plan, if true, ultimately failed, because the tool to control the yugoloths, the four Books of Keeping, got lost over time. [91], Those deities who called Hell home gave him a great deal of respect[5] for even though their domains were fully outside Asmodeus's control, it was incredibly clear who was in charge of the Hells. Despite being only 7 ft (2.1 m) tall he was still massive because he was wider than he was long, competing with creatures like hill giants in terms of sheer mass. [32] Without him and his devils to defend it, he argued, the multiverse would be overrun by demonkind and ultimately destroyed, and in this, Asmodeus might technically be correct. Its spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 15, +7 to hit with spell attacks). [83][156], With no allies in the hierarchy, Bel adopted the policy of supporting Asmodeus in the hopes of further advancement, feeding him information on the other lords through his spy network, efforts appreciated by Asmodeus if not always of actual use. [32] Even his masterfully crafted plans would obey universal laws, such as the Rule of Threes,[3] and he believed himself the multiverse's chosen protector. [19] He courted influence among organized races of lawful evil humanoids, such as hobgoblins,[189] with many creatures of evil revering him as the patron of might and tyranny.

[32][43], Although one of the ultimate powers of law, Asmodeus did not uphold the rules out of respect. He annually called the archdevils to his court in Malsheem, a summons that none ever refused.[5]. Power Level [201] The demonic tanar'ri however would say that they themselves were ultimately the source of devilkind, that their baatezu archenemies were simply corrupted versions of themselves, a root of chaos so twisted that it became law.

He never showed himself except through avatars or highly advancedproject image spells, both in humanoid forms. According to the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, Asmodeus is the god of indulgence. [126] Levistus's infamous deed, should the truth behind it be made clear, had the potential to utterly undermine Asmodeus's authority,[102] and his sly trickery had turned many former members of his own spy network against him. Asmodeus is a unique and powerful archdevil and ultimate ruler of the Nine Hells, realm of devils. [52], There were no strictures on how granted power could be used for a disciple, but the mortal's soul was forfeit if his patron was not appeased with sentient sacrifices. Turning his suboordinates against each other, Asmodeus privately urged Tiamat to provide covert magical aid to an imprisoned Zariel while at the same time preparing Bel to mentally dominate her, imprisoning her in her Avernus kingdom in the name of keeping down any personal ambitions. Add an ability, action, legendary action, mythic action, or whatever you want to call it. It also served as the avatar's main weapon[29] and allowed attacks with elemental forces, forced enemies to cower in fear, or provided the holder with a field of healing and protection. [173] Rejecting his heritage and status, he made his conquests his own kingdom of Azzagrat. Dominion So it was that Mephisto waited to see if Asmodeus made some catastrophic mistake exploitable enough to put them at actual odds. The following beings were among the most notable subjects of Asmodeus on Nessus. This is why his serpentine body lies bleeding in the Serpents Coil.

Avatar More than likely, there will be some elaborate fetch quest for an artifact, something more powerful than the Holy Avenger.

[148][note 2] But it was Mephistopheles who was perhaps the one archdevil Asmodeus feared on his own,[175] whose magical might was whispered to be great enough that even his master was deterred from interfering with him. At 1st level, an Asmodean advocate learns to choose her words so carefully that even when she says something designed to deceive listeners, the words are phrased to be technically true. [32], The angels presented their cases one by one, but with so many and for so long that Primus's patience ran out. When Mephistopheles was donning his Molikroth persona, he appeared as an obese man whose gross levels of fatness were frankly absurd. Asmodeus himself had helped to carve the great tablets of law he read from, citing that the first duty of law was to destroy chaos and his excellence in this field to a god of war. The forces at their disposal are listed, where appropriate: Asmodeus had been varyingly described as having no need for worship[186] and desperately craving true divinity. I would potentially do a split character option. Asmodean[9] At that point, they become lesser devils such as lemures or nupperibos. [45], Asmodeus and his erinyes cohorts descended to the bleak and featureless Baator and upon the bemoaning of his associates explained his plans. His rivals were inferior minds lacking the skill to see his vision through. On the other hand he was reported as self-righteous,[205] not unwilling to imbue and encourage cruelty and violence in his avenging angels,[212] and an obsessive control freak surveying every aspect of life in his realm from his high throne. These disaffected aasimar are typically content to turn away from the world, but a few become agents of evil. [19][60] All temples were full of his symbols; his ruby-tipped rod emblem was used for subtlety while his skull-gripping clawed fist was used in devil-dominated societies, but sometimes an inverted pentagram would suffice. [45], Every devil within Hell's hierarchy served Asmodeus, either directly or via a line of authority tracing back to him. In this version, Asmodeus was originally an angel, built for fighting demons. Then, to their horror, did the gods discover that mortals immediately set to subverting these barriers, allowing the demon host back inside to destroy their paradises. Fortunately, as weve covered already, Asmodeus is a Lawful Evil deity. [71][74], Asmodeus came to the conclusion long ago that the Blood War was, from a military standpoint, an utterly senseless and wasteful enterprise that consumed a huge amount of resources and killed millions of fiends, sometimes daily. Clerics are spoiled, but every character has some relationship with gods. [233] The third was Asmodeus's hunger for faithless people: at least for a moment, Geryon believed life was pointless and became food for Asmodeus. All other alignment-based planes configured around it, creating the Great Ring, more commonly known as the Outer Planes.

Both he and his vassals had forged dark pacts with various evil gods long ago, such as Bane, Gruumsh, and Vecna.

Technically he was not an archduke however, instead ruling Malbolge as viceroy of Baalzebul whom was also granted dominion over it. The most popular method is to form contracts with mortals in which they sell their souls for some offer. [83][155] Eventually he seized control of all of Hell's armies and usurped the previous Lord of Avernus, but where he expected immediate assaults, Asmodeus supported him. He plunged through the nascent layers he had alreay begun shaping (in some versions causing the plane to break and reform into nine layers) and continued to spiral violently even as the earth of Baator itself protested. I literally sit beneath eight tiers of scheming ambitious entities that represent primal law suffused with evil. The god exiled Asmodeus from his services when he took drastic measures in wartime. The Archfiend protested and the angels agreed to have a hearing with Asmodeus after accepting his proposal to ask Primus of the modrons to be an impartial judge. This attracted the rage of a barbarian nation who attacked them, but Zargon killed their hero, and then a few of their gods. Most aasimar follow their ordained path, but some grow to see their abilities as a curse. [45], Without any lawful way to stop Asmodeus's host from entering even newly created works in their dominions, the distressed deities decided to focus on the creation of mortals and wonderful worlds to house them. [105][106] She accepted his terms, and through doing so became, in a sense, a jewel in Asmodeus's crown. [55], Asmodeus was impossible to harm with spells below a certain level of power, as well as poison, paralysis, petrification, magic dealing with death, illusions, and attempts to influence his mind. Typical adventurers arent going to end up with a vendetta against the ruler of the nine hells, so a third party gives us a solid way to give our story the necessary impetus. Asmodeus's true form was that of a scaled serpent hundreds of miles long, his acid-black blood, a substance beyond foul, exuding from eons-old wounds. I can imagine the character being a cleric of Asmodeus first. Bel agreed and so much of his time was consumed by the Blood War that he didn't have sufficient time to plot against his superiors. [200] In some legends Asmodeus was once a deity of the goodly realms himself, maybe even of greater status, exiled from Celestia or perhaps Elysium. Lawful evil [5], First and foremost, Asmodeus sought to preserve the status quo of Baator, that being his station as supreme ruler of Hell. He was well aware that if not kept occupied by the Blood War, demons would eventually overrun reality and kill all its occupants before finally self-terminating as a race. Of the many important stories attached to Asmodeus, the Blood War is definitely one of the better-known ones. [145][151] Yet the slug archduke still burned with undying ambition for Asmodeus's throne just as he did with undying anger towards Asmodeus himself. In this version too, arguably before the beginning of all things, there was chaos, and from it came its living manifestations in demonkind. [121], It was unclear how exactly the relationship started, whether Asmodeus was using the unsavory Mammon to punish his daughter or if Glasya was using him to annoy her father (or even if there was some degree of twisted, genuine passion and romance), but at one point Glasya was the consort of Mammon. Should this not work, he would simply leave and allow his minions to deal with his enemies,[35] as he could summon a pit fiend or two specimens of any kind of devil every hour. [195], After the Spellplague, Asmodeus and a coven of warlocks known as the Toril Thirteen performed a ritual where the Lord of the Nine marked all tieflings in the world as his descendents. Hell's minions would just as willingly turn a follower of theirs to the infernal path as they would one of good powers (even if the latter would be more enjoyable). Asmodeus could never have too many actions and should realistically be able to do anything. This arrogance would have led to his destruction if he lacked the competence to back it up, yet Asmodeus had managed to thwart all conspiracies against him and survive Heaven with nothing but his wit. Regardless of which you choose, the results of this campaign could end up with the forces of hell seeking vengeance against the heroes. So long as the two worked in concert they were invincible, the mightiest of Law's champions, and despite their difference, they were first and foremost agents of order. Lawful evil It was also a great way to keep the demon population in check since demons could eventually control the multiverse if they werent otherwise occupied. [135], For Asmodeus's part, Levistus was in poor standing with him. [197], Since Laduguer's death (and after his revival), Asmodeus was known to impersonate him and other duergar deities, convincing many duergar to swear oaths to the devils in this guise to heighten their desire for vengeance and tyranny. He was cast out for siding with Lolth and fell into Baator, where he gained influence. Nessus As the ruler of devils, Asmodeus is not necessarily the definitive personification of evil. [66][206], Given the prior rule, the Twin Serpents decided that a third law would be needed to complete the triumvirate, both agreeing to define a center of reality to remain coiled around. However, Elder Evils later made the original ruler Zargon instead. Therefore, he organized his strength so that when the war restarted it would do so under circumstances favorable to him. [33], Regardless, perpetuating the idea that he merely wanted to bring souls into Hell was arguably Asmodeus's greatest triumph. Ruby Rod. In their minds, their exposure to celestial powers amounted to little more than brainwashing. For the player who wants it all: the Warlock/Cleric. Of course, a gods avatar can be destroyed, which is why stat blocks for Tiamat exist, so Ive decided to put together an Asmodeus avatar stat block. He was charged with fighting the Blood War, invading the Abyss, and getting the shard of evil for him. In fact, the most common origin of warlocks in the Realms was infernal, and of all the archdevils, it was Asmodeus who maintained the most of such pacts, at least among those with fiendish blood. Nine Hells In that time, it could be approached by devils offering a new life as a devil. [79], Even while many devils continually damned souls to expand Hell's infernal army,[59] Asmodeus exempted himself from the duty of each archduke to provide soldiers or other aid to fight the Blood War. [30][27], Indeed, Asmodeus was unquestionably the dominant figure in regards to those who knowingly worshiped devils. [33] Furthermore, Asmodeus did not have to kill a disbelieving soul to feast on their energy,[85] the process taking centuries to finally render the victim non-existent. Ahriman took advantage of this, hiding his true nature, reinventing himself as the Lord of Baator and changing his name to Asmodeus, a position from which he would plot to regain his former glory. One reason for Asmodeus to elevate Glasya was to tie her to one layer with a lot of responsibility, thereby preventing her ambitions going too far.[148]. As a Lawful Evil deity, or even just as a Lawful Evil character, the question really comes down to whether he is more lawful or more evil. Its utterly marvelous. The devil summoned is of a CR equal to or less than the roll. [198][199], Asmodeus was a figure long shrouded in mystery, surrounded by brutally repressed rumors suggesting there was more to him than he cared to admit. The forces of law and chaos battled for eons, until the deities of law felt the need to track their progress and so created numbers for recording the slain foes and time to see how long victory would take. Asmodeus killed most himself, but despite the destruction of all their lords, Zargon himself, even against one as mighty as Asmodeus, was resistant to the worst he could muster. That said, he was also Asmodeus's greatest enemy,[12] his chief, most dangerous rival,[152] and more than any of the other archdukes he was honest about this intention. [112] According to one tale, he may very well have been responsible for inflaming her already potent rage before her descent, setting the groundwork for her eventual fall. Regeneration. So, I'm unsure what his clerics would actually do. [112][159][160], Tiamat: Tiamat held a special enmity for Asmoedeus, for she had been contractually bound to Avernus on terms known only by her and the archdevils. Well, more than anything, Asmodeus seeks to bring order to the multiverse. Ranged Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 222/666 ft., one target. Worshiperalignments [130], Even so, their history was long and riddled with conflict, as Glasya remained willfully defiant and disatisfied by his attempts to bring her under control and she brought him no small amount of grief before they came to an understanding. I am playing a Mystic Theurge (3cler/3wiz/1mys theurge) of Asmodeus who in his background sold his soul in order to recieve arcane knowledge - lets suppose for story reason that magic requires a special gift and not only intelligence. Archdevil Anyone with better knowledge than I on which way is the "Asmodeus" way? [59], Asmodeus's avatar could cast a wide plethora of spells, including: animate dead, blasphemy, charm monster, create greater undead, desecrate, detect magic, devil's ego, discern location, dominate monster, fiendish quickening, geas, greater dispelling, hellfire, hellfire storm, magic circle against good, major image, mass charm, project image, restoration, resurrection, suggestion,[5] symbol of hopelessness, symbol of pain, symbol of persuasion,[29] teleport without error, true seeing, unholy aura, unholy blight, unhallow, wall of ice, and wretched blight as often as he wanted, and any power word spell, symbol spell, meteor swarm, true resurrection, and wish once per day. [176], Dispater was seemingly invulnerable within his Iron Tower[177][178] and had crafted an impenetrable suit of armor, the full features of which were known only to himself. Tiamat wisely decided not to directly confront the god of tyranny but serve him faithfully while learning and accurately relaying his secrets to Asmodeus, which greatly pleased him. It was at this point, however, that the two disregarded the importance of law, unwilling to concede to the other in its best interests. Likewise, a group of mortal adventurers isnt going to be a big threat to a greater deity, so we should be introducing plenty of ways for our characters to stand a chance against, or even indirectly conquer, the lord of the nine hells. The first is to dabble in the Blood war, including demons and devils that want to help or hinder your progress in the mission. [171][172] Some sages theorized he became dissatisfied with eternal subservience to Asmodeus and favored the Abyss, which offered greater freedom to the powerful than Baator where only one could claim absolute dominion. over say a Cleric and their Deity. [210] Abandoning his duties,[71] Asmodeus plunged into the Blood Rift and survived long enough to do what no other had or did since; he found the Abyss's core in its incalculable depths. He was often the first choice of all civilized, prospective devil worshipers,[19] with those known as such almost always being his followers,[60] and had by far more cultists on the Material Plane than any other archdevil,[19] arguably even combined. [34] While this limitation could be circumvented if the worshiper became a disciple of darkness,[52] spells granted by this method were not done so through his own powers, but by acting as a conduit to channel the divine magic of Baator itself to the mortal cleric. [64], Asmodeus had a huge store of souls in his personal citadel, and these could be bought from him at an extremely high cost, rumored to be entire kingdoms for one soul. [45][90], More complicated and less obviously hostile were his relations with evil gods. Still, that would make for an absolutely unreadable stat block. 4th Edition Statistics[9][16] Holy day(s) It instead implies that Serpent's Coil is shaped for the spiraling path Asmodeus fell, and that Malsheem sits at the bottom of that canyon. Promotion. Ill run you through both potential origins, and then we can catch up to recent events. Afterwards, most tieflings living in the 15th century DR were of the Asmodean lineage, all having a similar devilish appearance. [74] He might very well choose to absorb the power of his aspect of law from the multiverse upon reaching his full power and cause the planes to collapse into cosmic chaos. After throwing a fit, Glasya agreed and was tasked with organizing the erinyes' work. Those who worshiped Asmodeus directly formed an intricately built secret society. [13] He was also the underlying power of infernal contracts, hence why breaking a contract with even the weakest devil could still consign the oathbreaker's soul to the Nine Hells. Domains The classic Player's Handbook subrace, Asmodeus Tieflings are perfectly built to be ranged spellcasters. Use these powers to create awe and then tell my party that they too could have these powers, all without trying to reveal who my Deity is. [33] These lords created intricate webs of political plots, intrigues, and deceptions, protecting themselves from ambitious minions below while aiming for the spots of those above, conspiring with and betraying one another and other powers of the planes in their quest for power and dominance. During Combat The cleric casts fire shield ( warm shield ), uses his wand of shield of faith, then attacks with fire spells, switching to blade barrier, channeled energy, and flame strike against fire-resistant opponents. He generally left the archdevils with their realms: Zariel, Dispater, and Mephistopheles were allowed to keep their layers; Mammon embarrassed himself begging Asmodeus for forgiveness, who did by allowing him to keep his layer but forbade him to keep his relationship with his daughter; and Belial went into the background to evade responsibility and managed to hold power by accepting Asmodeus's condition that he hold power jointly with his daughter, Fierna. However, this didnt mean that he didnt amass a large number of cults devoted to him. [168] Even Bel had the capacity to "become a problem" were he to finish absorbing the powers of Zariel. Pantheon A comforting thought, I imagine, for those seeking redemption, but, I tell you, put such thoughts from your mind. My intent this game is to convert my party as an LE cleric of Asmodeus to his worship. [104] He admired her passion for warfare and commended her battle prowess, as well as the strength of her convictions, offering her rulership of Avernus and thus a chance to fight directly against demonkind in the Blood War. By provoking gods into fighting each other, preferably using their followers to act as representatives, he graphically illustrated their pettiness and sowed discontent among their followers. Often confused for his master, he did not exert much influence on the Material Plane (though his relatively recent discovery of hellfire helped him escape this somewhat). [87], Aside from weakening the faith of mortals, Asmodeus also smeared the perceived greatness of the gods. [3] The most elaborated of these descents and ascents boiled down to three primary origin stories: Jazirian and Ahriman forming the Outer Planes. So, Asmodeus turned Baator into a place made for torturing the souls of those who transgressed the gods. He has formed a great many contracts in his time that have allowed him to claim trillions of souls for the nine hells. Yet at that point, in the wake of the temporary cooling of the Blood War at large, Bel was belived to have no desire to do such a thing, to have come to like his appointed position as sentry of the Hells and become loyal to Asmodeus first and himself later. [217] Finally, the curse left Asmodeus and his company trapped in Baator and unable to claim the full divine power of his murdered god. Each holds incredible power beyond what any mortal could wish for but pale in comparison to Asmodeus. [44] Asmodeus would use tradition as his protection and wording as his weapon, appeal to the letter of the law, and frame his deeds as upholding the natural laws of the cosmos. [30] Furthermore, even Asmodeus was capable of fury, and if he forgot himself could end up bursting into a rage, his mask of civility slipping to unveil the evil that lurked below. Still, if you want Asmodeus to really be the big bad of an entire campaign, youll likely want to focus on devils, cults, or a bit of both. Under "Chapter 5: Equipment" in the Player's Basic Rules and Player's Handbook: A cleric or paladin may create holy water by performing a special ritual. Diabolic, Evil, Law That said, tieflings need not feel proud or ashamed of this internal heritage, nor will it hold them . He pursued his malevolent agenda on three primary fronts, his true motivations in each obscured to all and glimpsed by a very small few.[3]. Limited Magic Immunity. The names of the gods involved (deities of Oerth in the Greyhawk setting) seem unlikely, as they contradict their own histories. [118][122][123][124], Belial and Fierna: Belial was an old devil who had long ruled Phlegethos,[125] and was responsible for overseeing the Diabolical Court even if all its judges answered only to Asmodeus. Realistically, this is a pretty fair point. [66] By devil law, only Asmodeus could issue letters of safe passage that covered travel not only within, but also between layers, though he never issued such things for Nessus. . As for why a night hag was made archduchess at all, many in Hell had come to suspect Asmodeus only raised her up as a vulnerable placeholder until such a time when he and Glasya could come to terms. Typically, such worship would give a god strength, but Asmodeus draws his power from the torture of souls sent to the nine hells.
