Description
Asmodeus was an archdevil before the Spellplague. An ever ambitious and careful creature, Asmodeus retained his position all through the Reckoning of Hell, unlike many of the other archdevils. Asmodeus was lord of Nessus, the Ninth Layer of Hell, though he was generally recognized as lord of all of his divine dominion of Baator, which lay within the Astral Sea. He is now the undisputed ruler of all the nine hells and leads the fiends and devils of the plane with an iron fist.
Lair and Lair Actions
The throne room of the Temple of Nessus is lined with polished obsidian walls and floors and massive brimstone pillars covered in torches burning with magical hellfire. Asmodeus is the greatest lord of hell and knows all that transpires here.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Asmodeus takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Asmodeus can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Asmodeus can choose any two creatures in the throne room to make a sanity saving throw at disadvantage.
- Asmodeus can choose any creature in the throne room to learn about them. The target must make a DC 24 Intelligence saving throw. ON a failed save, Asmodeus learns their name, race, home, what brought them here, and their complete history over the last year to date.
- Asmodeus can cast the spell True Polymorph on any creature in the throne room, turning them into a beast CR 1/8 or lower. The effects of the spell end if concentration is broken, he uses the action again, or casts a different spell requiring concentration.
Regional Effects
Nessus is a region of extreme terror and heat and is under complete control of Asmodeus, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- If a fiend dies anywhere in Nessus, Asmodeus will be informed where, how, and when the fiend died.
- Any fiend in the nine hells can telepathically speak to Asmodeus as a bonus action to convey a short message.
- Once per long rest, Asmodeus can summon a group of three fiends of CR 8 or lower anywhere in Nessus.
If Asmodeus dies, the very foundations of hell begin to crumble. The entire plane will cease to exist unless a new arch-devil takes the throne.
