durcomb = No one understands the dangers of Hell’s politics more than Mephistopheles. Since enemies lurk in every shadow, he is never without a pair of fiendish bodyguards. Anyone bold enough to attack him deserves annihilation, so Mephistopheles holds nothing back. He sends his minions forward to engage the enemy while he calls in more reinforcements, typically a pair of pit fiends. He then unleashes a barrage of spell-like abilities. Should it seem he faces a serious threat, Mephistopheles ''teleports'' away, leaving his allies to fend for themselves. |

'''Evoke Hellfire (Su)''' Mephistopheles can create a burst of hellfire as an immediate action. Any creature within 5 feet must succeed on a DC 41 Reflex save or take 2d6 points of damage. A successful save results in half damage. The save DC is Charisma-based.

'''Flames of Hell (Su)''' Mephistopheles’s body is swathed in dark flames. Any creature that strikes or touches Mephistopheles with its body, or that grapples Mephistopheles, automatically takes 2d6 points of damage. A creature takes damage from this ability only once per turn. Mephistopheles can suppress or resume his flames of hell ability as a free action.

'''Flattering Inquisitor (Su)''' Mephistopheles is unsurpassed at inveigling himself into a creature’s good graces and ferreting out secrets. His ''discern lies'' spell-like ability automatically affects all creatures within 30 feet of him, and he does not need to concentrate to know whether a target is lying (although each time a creature tries to lie in this area it can attempt a Will save to negate the effect as normal). Anyone who attempts to lie when responding to a direct question posed by Mephistopheles must succeed at a DC 41 Will save or take 1d3 points of Wisdom drain and be unable to speak for 24 hours (Mephistopheles can end this enforced vow of silence at will as a free action). This is a mind-affecting effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

'''Profane Gift (Su)''' As a full-round action, Mephistopheles can grant a willing non-devil a +4 profane bonus to one ability score; this also allows him to communicate telepathically with and use his mind-affecting spell-like 
abilities on the creature at any distance (even across planar boundaries). A creature can have only one such gift at a time. The profane gift can be removed with ''dispel evil'' or ''dispel law'', or Mephistopheles can remove it as a free action, dealing 3d6 points of Charisma drain to the target (no save). In addition, a creature that accepts a ''wish'' from Mephistopheles immediately becomes ''lawful evil'' (Will DC 41 negates) and gains the benefits of ''good hope'' for 1 week, followed by the effects of ''crushing despair'' for 1d6 months (CL 30th). The save DC is Charisma-based.
