Category: Seven Devils

Your vote matters…at least it does in Roll for Combat’s recently rebooted RPG Superstar contest. Not one but TWO of my entries have made it to the final round!

My first entry is the memento devil, a fiend I created for my Seven Devils PF2 campaign. (Spoiler: If you’re one of my players, you’ve already met one of these critters, though you may not realize it yet…)

My next entry is the knotsman, a construct made from animated rope.

Public voting on the entries is LIVE NOW. If you like my monsters, you can vote on those, or on any of the other great entries. With 101 monsters in the final round, there’s a lot of content to sift through, but Roll for Combat included a nifty “Vote On a Random Monster” button at the top of the entries. I’ve already spent an hour or so browsing through the amazing monsters!

My newest campaign (which I’m running over Roll20 and Discord, thanks to the quarantine) is called The Seven Devils. It’s an urban campaign full of intrigue, crypt-diving, and diabolism. My group and I usually alternate between story games and D&D 5E, so for a change we’ve decided to try out the newest edition of Pathfinder.

As its name suggests, I’m going to need a lot of devils for this campaign (not just seven!). While I like that Paizo has made an effort to include a mix of new and classic creatures in their newest Bestiary, they’ve done so at the expense of several useful, if not classic, monsters. (As opposed to 5E’s Monster Manual, which was pretty exhaustive but included no monsters we hadn’t seen before.)

Take these guys, for example…

Now, I get it: barbed devils aren’t anyone’s favorite monster. They’re not even anyone’s favorite devil. But as a GM, barbed devils are pretty useful. They pose a significant threat for low- to mid-level parties, and serve as excellent minions at higher levels.

So yeah, I’m gonna need some barbed devils…
