So as monster your pretty weird in sense that instead summoning 'allies' as tana'ri (from somewhere in abyss), you instead summon entities stored inside your own dimension (which could be also be sort prison to some entities who become tainted and warped into such creatures.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I should note that Baatezu and Yugoloths also have an innate summoning ability, and it would be pretty easy to justify flavor-wise by simply tying the ability to the Plane of Shadow, rather than the Abyss.<br/><br/>That said, if you’re making it equivalent to Shades, that basically turns the summoning into an at-will Summon Monster VIII (though only 80% real), rather than the 1/day Summon Monster X it currently is, so I think limiting the area a little more might be a good idea.  Even if it’s a Shadow Landscape effect, rather than a zone of magical darkness, 100 ft would be a fairly solid limit.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=283008.msg13948256#msg13948256">Quote from: Lockepick on 24-02-2018, 20:22:33</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">How much do we know about each other's Archfiend forms? I made an assumption that we all knew of each other, because we're all big players -- but now I'm wondering if that was incorrect of me. <br/><br/>More specifically, @Sain: Is it known that Ungrath eats fey? I only ask so he has the context to answer. Methu himself doesn't count as fey, nor does he specifically gather fey anyway (except his Cohort happens to be fey) -- so it's not like he'll be super defensive either way. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I’ve been having Alactra go by monster identification rules, myself.  She knows she’s in the company of Archfiends, and knows one or two additional facts about any that have made a reputation for themselves, and that’s about it.  So, she knows that Methu was previously a minion of Graz’zt, for example, and that Anasil is feared because she devours the souls of those she slays, but that’s about it for those two.<br/><br/>If Methu’s Knowledge (The Planes) check is high enough, you could probably decide that he’s heard tales of Ungrath and her legendary hunger for Fey, and I think it would be easily justifiable. ^^
