Description
Mammon was a baatezu archdevil and the archduke of Minauros, the third layer of the Nine Hells, and the patron of greed and lust.
Mammon was ruthless, greedy, and lustful. He was able to use words and magic in a cunning way, establishing a friendship before committing an act of betrayal, often violently.
Mammon invited mortals who'd proved themselves loyal to his palace and asked them to attend him. He granted them riches and power, but in exchange for disgusting service and suffering his attentions. He preferred to play with mortals, lulling them into a false sense of security, and enjoyed seeing them surprised when he turned on them.
Lair and Lair Actions
Lord of Minauros. Like all of the Nine, Mammon’s title has power and his might is greater while he is in his domain. While on Minauros Mammon is considered CR 30 (155,000XP) and he gains the following attributes:
-
Mammon can use legendary resistance 4/day.
-
Mammon can use 4 legendary actions.
-
Mammon has advantage on all attack rolls.
-
Mammon rolls a critical hit on a natural 19-20.
-
Mammon regains 30 hit points at the start of this turn.
-
Mammon can use domain actions.
Domain Actions:
While anywhere within the plane of Minauros, Mammon can take a domain action as long as he is not incapacitated.
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Mammon can draw on the infernal power Minauros to take a domain action to cause one of the following effects:
- Mammon teleports (3/day) to any location within Minauros.
- Mammon causes acid rain to fall in a 240 foot radius centered on him until initiative count 20 of the next round. Any creature within the area must make a DC 23 Dexterity saving throw at the beginning of its turn, taking 36 (8d8) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a success. A creature with partial cover makes the save with advantage and a creature with full cover is immune to this effect.
- Mammon creates an illusion of treasure surrounding him. Anyone making an attack against Mammon must make a DC 23 Wisdom check or treat Mammon as having partial cover; area of effect attacks do not require this check. If he has partial cover (from hiding in a treasure hoard or swimming in a pit of tar), this action gives him total cover.
- Mammon creates a 20 foot radius pit of boiling tar that appears from a point within 120 feet of him that he can see. Anyone in the area must make a DC 23 Strength (Athletics) check or be restrained in the pit. A creature that starts it turn in the pit takes 36 (8d8) fire damage. The pit is difficult terrain for creatures that are not restrained. A creature can attempt another ability check at the end of each of its turns. Mammon cannot be restrained by the pits and can move freely through them, ignoring the difficult terrain.
