Homebrew Pit Fiend Species Details

Pit fiends are cold-hearted creatures. While a lesser devil may show weakness, these towering beings show no sympathy. They are perfectly able to feign it, however, and take great pleasure from toying with others. They are especially fond of twisting contracts which they establish with summoners. By the end of it, the devil usually has their soul quick and easy. This arrogance is not for show, however, as their strength and magic are no small feats. They can be dangerous when angered, or when their amusement turns to annoyance.
