Uniila (Cabal Devil)

Uniilas frequently join mortal cults, but not as leaders—instead, the uniila lurks behind the master or demagogue who leads the cult.

Every Dagger [two-actions] Requirements The uniila wields four daggers; Effect The uniila attempts a single dagger Strike against a target. If this Strike hits, the uniila deals three extra dice of weapon damage.Fearsome Magic [one-action] (emotion, fear, mental, metamagic) Frequency Once per hour; Effect If the uniila's next action is to cast a harmful spell, creatures who fail their saving throw against the spell are frightened 1 (frightened 2 on a critical failure), in addition to the spell's other effects.Witch Token (arcane, conjuration) (1 hour) Frequency Once per day; Effect The uniila creates a token in the shape of a piece of jewelry. When the witch token is invested by a mortal, all of the mortal's spells, except those cast at the highest level the mortal can cast, count as 1 level higher for the purpose of counteracting other spells and being counteracted. The creature can also Activate the witch token to Cast a Spell once per day. This spell is chosen from one of the uniila's arcane spontaneous spells of level 4 or lower when the uniila creates the token. While a creature has the witch token invested, it treats its saving throws against the uniila's spells as one degree of success worse, and the uniila always knows the distance and direction to the creature. A creature can't have more than one witch token invested, and an uniila can't have more than one witch token in existence. The uniila can destroy their witch token as a free action with the concentrate trait; if the witch token is invested when the uniila does so, the creature that has the witch token invested takes 9d8 mental damage (DC 29 basic Will save).

Sidebar - Advice and Rules Uniila Occultists

Some uniilas study occult magic, rather than arcane magic, to better manipulate mystery cults or eldritch cabals. These more subtle uniilas cast occult spells instead of arcane spells; they cast augury instead of glitterdust, mind reading instead of lightning bolt, modify memory instead of fireball, and read aura instead of ray of frost.

Devil

Source Bestiary pg. 86
Masters of corruption and architects of conquest, devils seek both to tempt mortal life to join in their pursuit of all things profane and to spread tyranny throughout all worlds. The temptations they offer mortals range from great powers granted by the signing of an infernal contract to twisted favors following a whispered pledge to a diabolic patron, or any number of even subtler exchanges. Those who succumb to these temptations find themselves consigned to an afterlife of endless torment in the pits of Hell, wherein the only hope of escape lies in the chance of being promoted to become a devil in the infernal ranks. Every devil has a specific role to play in the upkeep of the remorseless bureaucratic machine that is Hell, from soldiers and scholars to inquisitors, lawyers, judges, and executioners. Lowly lemures and imps perform subservient labor to more powerful and specialized devils, such as contract devils and erinyes, while the greatest pit fiends command entire infernal armies.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Archdevils

At any one time, eight archdevils rule the eight upper layers of Hell, while the deepest layer is ruled by Asmodeus. Each archdevil is a unique demigod with a dedicated role in guiding the infernal machine forward. Barbatos is the doorwarden of HellĘĽs uppermost layer, while Dispater rules HellĘĽs largest city. Mammon guards HellĘĽs treasuries, and Belial designs new weapons for HellĘĽs legions. Geryon is the oldest archdevil and keeper of many secrets, while Moloch leads HellĘĽs armies. Baalzebul is a brooding archdevil who has fallen from AsmodeusĘĽs favor, while mighty Mephistopheles was formed from the plane of Hell itself.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Diabolic Divinities

Many unique and powerful devils hold positions of power in Hell. The most numerous of these are the infernal dukes, many of whom were promoted to this position from already impressive statures as pit fiends. The supreme ruler of Hell itself is Asmodeus, the Prince of Darkness. Between these two tiers rule the eight archdevils—see the sidebar on the facing page.

Sidebar - Locations Diabolic Locations

The nine layers of Hell are the planar home of all devils, and they much prefer its tyrannically ordered environs to anywhere else in the multiverse. Yet devils can be encountered anywhere mortals can be tempted by infernal bargains or seek diabolic aid. On Golarion, the nation of Cheliax is particularly aligned with Hell. Its government is based upon HellĘĽs organization, and the state church is that of Asmodeus.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Fiendish Relations

Devils view daemonsĘĽ constant hunt for souls as a short-sighted waste of potential, and demonsĘĽ chaotic destruction of society and flesh as uncivilized and obnoxious, but they do not loathe their fiendish counterparts. Indeed, most devils are more than willing to take advantage of daemons and demons as they can to further their own machinations.

Sidebar - Advice and Rules Hellfire

Stinking, sulfurous hellfire is infused with evil. Hellfire always deals a combination of fire damage and evil damage, though the specific ratio depends on the hellfire's origin. Certain types of hellfire can impose other effects on creatures as well, such as sapping their strength or memories.

Sidebar - Locations Hellmouths

While travel to and from Hell is possible with plane shift, another way to reach and traverse the infernal realms is via hellmouths, strange living portals connecting different layers or even different planes. A hellmouth takes the form of a grimacing face, distended maw, or other distressingly organic aperture, and no two share the same appearance. Most are carefully guarded, but some new or well-hidden hellmouths have yet to be discovered.

Sidebar - Related Creatures Other Devils

The devils presented on these pages are a small sampling of the torments Hell has to offer. Other devils, like the inquisition-focused bone devils, the cherub-faced and fly-bodied accuser devils, and the aquatic drowning devil are a few examples of these widespread immortal creatures.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Queens of the Night

The four queens of the night wield great power in the Pit. Ardad Lili is a plotter and manipulator with ambitions of ruling the heavens, while Doloras revels in suffering. Most distant is Mahathallah, watching over fate and death. Mightiest among them is Eiseth, who is assembling an army in Dis in the hopes of claiming the iron throne of Malebolge.

Sidebar - Additional Lore The Hierarchy of Hell

Hell is a harsh plane of law with little use for compassion or empathy. As such, it exists entirely within a strict hierarchy, and this order extends to its denizens. While different types of demons correspond to various sins and daemons are associated with modes of mortal death, the different types of devils exist solely to fulfill particular roles in the infernal machine. On occasion, a particular devil can transcend the role for which they were literally shaped, but this often transforms the devil physically into the type suitable for their new role.
