· Fear Aura (Su): Pit fiends radiate a powerful fear aura in a 20-foot radius. Anyone entering the area must succeed a Will save (DC23) or flee in panic for 1d10 rounds.

· Poison (Ex): The bite injects a powerful poison. Anyone bitten must succeed a Fortitude save (DC20) or suffer its effects (1d6 temporary constitution / death).

· Disease (Ex): In addition to the injected poison, the bite delivers to the victim a serious disease, the devil chills. If the victim succeeds in a Fortitude save (DC20) avoid the infection, otherwise the disease runs its course (incubation 1d4 days, 1d4 temporary strength damage). This disease is partly magical, so multiple bites incur in cumulative diseases.

· Constriction (Ex): If the tail gets hold of a character, of at least one size less than the pit fiend, through a grappling roll it can constrict for 2d4+4 points of damage immediately, and for 2d4+10 points of damage every subsequent round the hold is maintained.

· Spell-like Abilities (Sp): At will – Detect Magic, See Invisibility, Fireball, Hold Person, Greater Invisibility, Polymorph Self, Produce Flame, Pyrotechnics, Wall of Fire, Symbol of Pain (1/day), and Wish (1/year).

· Gate (Su): Once per round, a pit fiend may automatically gate in two lesser baatezu or one greater baatezu.

· Baatezu Qualities:

· Outsider: Darkvision 60 feet. Can’t be raised or resurrected.
