Daemon, Ultrodaemon

Image by Conceptopolis, © Wizards of the Coast.

[Commissioned by @justicegundam82, who is of a similar mind to me: the ultroloth/ultrodaemon has gotten a raw deal for the last 20 years. In the original Monster Manual 2, the ultrodaemon actually had more hit dice than a pit fiend or balor, and in 2e they were on an even footing with those two paragons of evil (thanks, Planescape!). But in 3.0 they were CR 16, 3.5 they were CR 13, and they’re CR 13 in the current edition. If you want a CR 13 ultrodaemon for Pathfinder, @thecreaturechronicle did one here.

Also, the olethrodaemon is a little disappointing for the capstone daemon. Maybe because they’re adorable]

Daemon, Ultrodaemon CR 20 NE Outsider This regal-looking creature has no face, merely a blank green-grey void with eyes that shine like opals. It carries a finely made sword in one hand.

An ultrodaemon is an extinction event made manifest, the representation of the death of an entire species. They are the generals of Abaddon’s armies and the masterminds of its triumphs. An ultrodaemon is mercenary to the extreme, working with other ultrodaemons, daemonic harbingers or Horsemen of the Apocalypse as their own needs see fit. They are especially fond of obcisidaemons—after the daemons of genocide have wiped out a culture or civilization, the ultrodaemons savor mopping up pockets of survivors to lead the species to oblivion.

Ultrodaemons are unusual among daemons in that they prefer subtlety to mass murder. They are capable of walking the earth in mortal guise, and between their natural skills at persuasion and their telepathic commands, are able to shape the efforts of kingdoms and nations towards destructive and deadly ends. Only when their plans come to fruition do they enter the battlefield directly, although they are happy to test their skills and those of their minions.

An ultrodaemon rarely if ever fights alone, and if caught off guard is capable of summoning aid to its side. They often bolster their forces with magical enhancements, flying over the battlefield and surveying weak points that require their attention. Their opalescent eyes flash in ways to render foes completely helpless, but ultrodaemons much prefer to leave these enemies with self-destructive or murderous suggestions rather than merely finish them off. Thanks to their selective spell immunity and ability to conjure symbols with a mere gesture, ultrodaemons are versatile combatants, and no two fights with them are likely to go the same way. If badly pressed, an ultrodaemon will flee to fight another day, plotting revenge against those that best them.

An ultrodaemon stands over six feet tall in its natural form, and weighs about two hundred pounds. They do tend to indulge their vanity with fine clothes and jewelry, and often wear trophies from especially memorable fights—necklaces of preserved fingers are a favorite.

Daemons are immune to this effect. The save DC is Charisma based. Oblivion Ray (Su) As a standard action, an ultrodaemon can fire a ray at a range of 240 feet with no range increment. A creature struck by this ray takes 20d8 points of typeless damage and suffers 1d4 negative levels. A successful DC 31 Fortitude save halves the damage and negates the negative levels. A creature reduced to 0 hit points by this ability is utterly destroyed, as if killed with a destruction spell. The save DC is Constitution based. Perfect Copy (Ex) An ultrodaemon can assume the form of specific creatures when using its change shape ability. Profane Shield (Su) An ultrodaemon gains a profane bonus to its Armor Class equal to its Charisma modifier. Selective Spell Immunity (Su) Once per day, an ultroloth can spend 10 minutes in meditation to grant itself immunity to nine spells, one of each spell level. These spells must be subject to spell resistance, and this effect otherwise acts as unimpeachable spell resistance against those spells specifically. The following is a list of sample spells that may be taken by an ultroloth as its immunities—magic missile, spiritual weapon, vampiric touch, holy smite, waves of fatigue, banishment, holy word, fire storm, dominate monster Symbol Master (Su) Once per day as a standard action, an ultrodaemon can trace a glyph in the air to have the effect of any symbol spell it chooses. This symbol has a save DC of 30 and is treated as being CL 22nd for the purposes of dispelling or other effects. The save DC is Charisma based. Telepathic Urge (Su) An ultrodaemon can implant a suggestion, as per the spell, in the mind of a creature paralyzed by its gaze as a swift action. A creature can resist this suggestion with a DC 30 Will save. The save DC is Charisma based.

Oh dang. Okay I’ll have them answered underneath the cut!

1: How tall or short do you wish you were?

-I’d at least like to be 5′5

2: What’s your dream pet? (Real or not)

-Real I would like a husky cause they’re adorable, but for a mythological one I’d love a dragon cause why not, right?

3: Do you have a favorite clothing style?

-Gosh, well that’s a bit hard. I don’t really know the names for clothing styles, but I guess an example could be some jeans and a t-shirt, nothing too fancy with a beanie.That’s just the casual look. Or I could say an actual style like steampunk which I adore since it’s so different! 4: What was your favorite video game growing up?

-Sonic the hedgehog is something for sure. 5: What three things/people do you think of most each day:

-1. My family 2. How things are in other parts of the world and what could happen if something changed 3. Friends

6: If you had a warning label, what would yours say?

-”Warning: I could seem intimidating or just seem like a total weirdo, but do not mistake me just for another person. There’s a lot more about me than you’d expect” 7: What is your opinion on [insert person/thing here]?

-I don’t really know how to answer this so how about mainstream stuff?

One thing that bugs me is when people talk about others in a rude way for being “strange”,”weird”,”ugly” (nothing I’ve heard personally for myself, I’m just talking on a neutral standard level here), etc. and the people saying these things wear some sort of shirt saying “I’m just a type of crazy” sorta shirt. Like, you’re saying all these rude things, but you wear those shirts yet don’t even know what it’s reflecting on just being “weird is the new cool” in a sense. I don’t know, it’s just a thought.8: What is your Greek personality type? [Sanguine, Phlegmatic, Choleric, or Melancholic]

-Just did a test and it says I’m Phlegmatic. Surprisingly, it fits really well. 9: Are you ticklish?

-Maybe.10: Are you allergic to anything?

-Nope.11: What’s your sexuality?

-Straight/Heterosexual12: Do you prefer tea, coffee, or cocoa?

-I prefer tea, but I don’t mind cocoa. And for coffee, I prefer it iced.13: Are you a cat or dog person?

-Both. But I prefer dogs since I’m used to them more.14: Would you rather be a vampire, elf, or merperson?

-Elf. Vampire sounds interesting, but I want to be out in the sun too. And merperson isn’t my type. Elf would be something interesting and a variety.15: Do you have a favorite Youtuber?

-Hm, I don’t watch a lot of youtubers to be a big fan, but I do like to watch Markiplier’s videos when I can!16: How tall are you?

-5′3 17: If you had to change your name, what would you change it to?

-Wouldn’t know. I don’t really think my name now doesn’t fit me well either. Lol I’m one of those oddballs in a group. At least I think so. I like unique names that you don’t hear often, so my name doesn’t help me with that at all. 18: How much do you weigh? [Only ask this if you know the user doesn’t mind!]

-We’re just gonna leave this blank.19: Do you believe in ghosts/spirits?

-Yes I do.20: Do you like space or the ocean more?

-Space even though the ocean has yet to have more discoveries.21: Are you religious?

-In a sense that I have a religion, yes.22: Pet peeves?

-Gosh I know I have some, but nothing that’s coming to mind.23: Would you rather be nocturnal or diurnal [opposite of nocturnal]?

-Diurnal.24: Favorite constellation?

-Little dipper.25: Favorite star?

-Not really. Unless you count the northern star.26: Do you like ball-jointed dolls?

-I don’t like dolls in total.27: Any phobias or fears?

-Dolls, being betrayed, dying, losing everything and everyone I cared for, feeling nothing, etc.28: Do you think global warming is real?

-It is. It’s sad people are ignoring or denying it, but it’s there. Just because you(I’m saying those who oppose it’s not true) don’t feel the affects, it doesn’t mean others aren’t either.29: Do you believe in reincarnation?

-I do. 30: Favorite movie?

-District 9 or The Little Prince31: Do you get scared easily?

-Not really, but it’s possible.32: How many pets have you own in your lifetime?

33: Blog rate? [You’ll rate the blog of the one who’s asking.]

-Can’t answer this since there’s no blog.34: What is a color that calms you?

-Blue. It’s a calming color indeed and just looking up at the sky and the clouds when in time of stress just relieves time itself and feels as if it just slowed down just for you to look at the clouds.35: Where would you like to travel and/or live?

-I’d like to stay in California, but would like to go upstate. Knowing my personal business right now, I wouldn’t see that much happening anytime soon. Though I’d like to travel to Australia, Japan, and Chicago.36: Where were you born?

131: What is something you love but also hate about yourself?

-My behavior that can change drastically at times. It’s not me exactly, I can be really positive at times, but throughout the day I just slink back to some bad mood for no reason at times which can cause me anxiety. I only find this good because when I’m positive, I have a good set view on life. And when I’m down, I can think more to myself and situations much more efficiently despite it all. What’s bad about this can be implications or situations when I’m in a down mood.

132: Do you smile with your teeth showing for pictures?

-Not much. Rarely I do. I get nervous or just forget how to?? If that makes any sense haha

133: Computer or TV?

-Computer. I don’t watch much TV

-What??

137: Do you believe in karma?

138: On a scale of 1-10, how attractive would you say you are?

139: What nicknames do you have/have had?

-Saga(username/online), Jess, Jessie, Jess-Jess, Jeff, Idaho, etc

140: Did you have any pretend or imaginary friends?

-Nah. Though sometimes I picture my characters in situations or when I have anxiety and wonder what they’d do or say.

141: Have you ever seen a therapist/shrink?

-Nope.

142: Would you say you are a good or bad influence to others?

-Good. I’ve seen and had....bad influences, but have never given in to them. Overall I seem to be a good influence, but have my ever so rare moments of doing something really stupid.

143: Do you prefer giving or receiving gifts/help?

-Giving, but I’m really bad at it haha

144: What makes you angry

-Bullying, constant lying, others messing with others stuff, denial(I’m a hypocrite. I know. But I mean when it’s something so severe and affecting so many things irl like the economy, but still don’t do anything to fix it), etc.

145: How many languages do you speak fluently?

-English, really. I speak Spanish too, but little of it. For some reason I can understand, somehow write and read it, but I can’t talk back very much? I have a hard time forming complex sentences or even simple ones sometimes

-The Silvur child, Jazz child, and I guess my little sis.

151: If you could go back into time and live in one era, which would you choose?

-I’ve thought about this for the skeletons cause history class sometimes gets to me. Though for myself, I’d say the early 19th century even if it were 1890. The last part of the Industrial Revolution is still going on so that means I could see what inspired the style of steampunk and hey, women have gained rights before this time already and just in time!

152: Do you like BuzzFeed?

-Eh, my sis does. I don’t mind it, but the videos can sometimes be unnecessary to a certain degree and their rules that whoever work there that if they make an individual, it immediately belongs to BuzzFeed which I don’t really see as fair.

153: How did you meet your spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend/partner? [If you have one.]

-My skeleson wanted to reenact Shakespeare.

154: Do you like to kiss others’ foreheads or hands for platonic reasons?

167: Do you really care how the universe and world was created?

-I do, but I don’t want it to make me subject my life to just that one topic.
