Character Synopsis[]
Asmodeus is a villain from Dungeons & Dragons. He rules over the Nine Hells of Baator and is considered the grand ruler of Lawful Evil beings. During the Creation War, a greater force sent Asmodeus to lead a host of angels against the evil hordes of the Abyss. After the war was over, most of the angels had become demonic in nature. Asmodeus stood as the ruler of fallen angels and remaining devils alike. Sometime after this Asmodeus became involved with the politics of the gods, inventing punishment in order to enforce their laws. In return, the gods gave him Baator, an abandoned hell with seven planes. Asmodeus built two more levels onto the plane of Baator and transformed it into a place of eternal damnation for evil souls. Once he controlled evil souls, Asmodeus set forth corrupting as many as he could, in order to increase his own power.

Destructive Ability: Multi-Universe Level (Controls entire realms that contain multiple layers with their own space-time continuums. Respected by his fellow demon lords and as such, undoubtedly superior to demon lords who can manipulate multiple spatial and temporal planes of The Abyss) | Multi-Universe Level (Superior to his Archdevil form and greatly exceeds any demon lord at this state) | Multiverse Level+ (Moved the entirety of The Abyss to another portion of the multiverse, a realm that contains infinite planes with each plane being infinite and containing their own space-time continuums. Ranked on the same level as Greater Gods, making him comparable to the likes of Shar, who could create laws on a multiversal scale and construct The Shadow Weave to bound the multiverse) | Multiverse Level+ (Created the multiverse alongside his brother Jazirian and has power comparable to The Greater Gods, even when drastically weakened)
Speed: Infinite (Asmodeus within their own layers are not dependent on time but actually the latter. time relies on The Orcus and they can act when time itself is at a halt.) | Infinite (Superior to his previous form by an unfathomable amount) | Immeasurable (Gods naturally exist outside of linear time and are higher-ordered Beings) | Immeasurable (Existed and moved before the concept of time was created)
Lifting Ability: Immeasurable | Immeasurable | Immeasurable (Can move entire 4-D structures) | Immeasurable
Striking Ability: Multi-Universal (Can control layers with multiple space-time continuums) | Multi-Universal (Superior to his previous power by a vast amount) | Multiversal+ (Can move The Abyss, a structure that is infinite and contains infinite planes with their own space-times) | Multiversal+ (Created an entire multiverse of infinite size)
Durability: Multi-Universe Level (Casually survives fatal encounters with other Demon Lords, whom themselves are comparable to Orcus) | Multi-Universe Level (Should have superior durability to his previous form) | Multiverse Level+ (Can tank survive magical attacks and abilities from Greater Gods, whom of which should be comparable to Shar) | Multiverse Level+ (Will survive the destruction of the Multiverse. His fall created the last two layers of the Nine Hells)
Stamina: Limitless | Limitless | Limitess | Limitless
Range: Extended melee range due to size, much higher with magic, Multi-Universal with Astral Projection and Scrying, up to Multiversal+ with magic
Intelligence: At least Extraordinary Genius (His intellegence rating is 30, and he is the smartest of all devils.)
Weaknesses:
- As Asmodeus, his weakness is he can't rapidly regenerate from damage inflicted by holy or bless weapons of sufficient power.
- As Ahriman, his weakness is his power is not influenced by faith, meaning that while his strength cannot fluctuate it cannot be boosted either.
Other Attributes[]
List of Equipment: Ruby Rod of Asmodeus
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Animate Dead: A necromancy spell that allowed the caster to raise one or more mostly intact skeletons or corpses as undead skeletons or zombies under his or her control.
- Blasphemy: An evocation spell that could incapacitate or even kill nonevil creatures and banish those of extraplanar origin.
- Hellfire: An evocation spell that causes an explosion with a radius of 10 foot (3 meters) of brimstone and fire. This fire bypassed every kind of magical and other defenses against fire.
- Aura of Submission (Su) At the end of each of Asmodeus’s turns, creatures within 20 feet of him must succeed on DC 36 Will saves or submit to all of Asmodeus’s commands for 1 day, doing whatever he asks as if every request of his was a suggestion spell against which the target cannot resist. This is a mind-affecting ability. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected by Asmodeus’s aura ever again.
- Chill Gaze (Su) As the slow spell; DC 36; caster level 20th. Chill gaze has a range of 30 feet. On a failed saving throw, the target also takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, ability checks, and skill checks for 1 hour.
- Demand Submission (Su): Once per round as a standard action, Asmodeus can force any single creature who can hear and understand his voice to attempt a Will saving throw (DC 37). If the creature fails, it submits to the ruler of hell for 10d10 days, doing whatever Asmodeus asks as if every request of his was a suggestion against which the target cannot resist with a saving throw. Once a creature succeeds at a saving throw against this ability, it is forever immune to the effect.
- Fear and Weakness Gaze (Su) As fear and ray of enfeeblement spells; DC 36; caster level 20th. Fear and weakness gaze has a range of 60 feet. Those affected by Asmodeus’s gaze must succeed on two saving throws, one for fear and the other for ray of enfeeblement.
- Regeneration (Ex) Good weapons, and spells and effects with the good descriptor, deal normal damage to Asmodeus. If Asmodeus loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 1d6 minutes. Asmodeus can reattach the severed member instantly by holding it to the stump.
- Summon Baatezu (Sp) Three times per day, Asmodeus can automatically summon one pit fiend or two of any other kind of devil (including the aspects of other archdevils). This ability is the equivalent of a 9th-level spell (CL 20th).
- Tongues (Su) As the tongues spell; always active; caster level 20th.
Extra Info: Asmodeus is considered to be the same as Ahriman. It's unknown whether the existence of Ahriman is a fabrication. However, we do know that it's still Ahriman at the end of the day, just simply under a different guise. This also means that the profile could contain contradictory information.
