Asmodeus is immune to spells of the 6th level or lower, unless he wants to be affected. His form's sheer size made it impossible for him to meet and enter into conversations with others, and so he created humanoid -looking avatars.

[12] Another archdevil he restored to the position was Fierna. Tiefling 5e Subraces Bloodline of Asmodeus. [46], Another ability Asmodeus shared with greater deities even before his ascension was that he could create up to ten avatars, although his ability to do this was stunted. [45], By some theories, Asmodeus was somehow fundamental to reality itself, his mere existence pulling the multiverse into its modern form. Often confused for his master, he did not exert much influence on the Material Plane (though his relatively recent discovery of hellfire helped him escape this somewhat). Additionally, Asmodeus can hold concentration for up to three spells at a time. Cult leaders were granted divine power until the sect reached the pinnacle of its power, at which point spells were suddenly denied and declined. There was debate on whether the latter behavior inspired Asmodeus's rebellion, and the few who subscribed to the theory held Asmodeus as a cautionary example of becoming what one hates.

[230], Zariel started off as an observer of the Blood War under celestial orders. [70][76], Despite his generally dismissive attitude towards the Blood War, Asmodeus, unlike some other lawful deities, recognized that it was not an entirely trivial matter. [102][164][165], In the aftermath of the Reckoning, Moloch stood defiant against Asmodeus, convinced Lord of the Ninth would respect his strength as the others begged. [32], Like with the Blood War however, Asmodeus could not become complacent in his position. [125], Belial's plans for covert conquest of other layers were continually stalled when Asmodeus elevated her daughter to archduchess of Malbolge, for he feared both retaliation from Asmodeus for attacking his daughter and from his own daughter for attacking against her "best friend".

In fact, even those who worship other evil entities end up worshiping Asmodeus in some fashion, almost like a sort of cult pyramid scheme. No matter what your rank in the cult, you are looked out for, provided for, and shown to power in one way or another. Although Asmodeus killed his consort Naome[128] (though even this might have been Glasya's doing)[110] he accepted Belial placing his daughter Fierna on the throne.

To those without great ambition, alive or dead, they offered reprieve from the torturous wait for a god's response through delights, distractions and company and, if at a price after death, the possibility to hide their transgressions from divine eyes.

For many mortal years the gods of law and good reveled in their purified domains only to discover an alarming drop in incoming souls. In order to do this, he and his angels would need to draw their own divine power from the souls they tortured. [196], A few shadar-kai of Netheril revered Asmodeus. Think about it, if you wanted to worship an evil deity, a devil, or just some powerful being, why wouldnt you choose the ruler of all devils?

[111], Tiamat willingly offered to become Asmodeus's champion on Avernus and slay all who she knew plotted against him, suggesting Bel would prove a superior lord and one not to be spurned and made a foe. This distinction keeps him wholly separate from beings like Orcus or Yeenoghu. [33] These lords created intricate webs of political plots, intrigues, and deceptions, protecting themselves from ambitious minions below while aiming for the spots of those above, conspiring with and betraying one another and other powers of the planes in their quest for power and dominance.

[41] The Prince of Evil was confident in his position as one of the multiverse's strongest beings,[30] and genuinely believed his rule was for the best. He made the case that the souls he harvested served the ultimately noble end of protecting the cosmos, and noted the sanctity of law as what separated him from the demons of the Abyss. Then, in honor of their triple aspects of Law, Good, and Evil, they established the law of threes (more commonly called the Rule of Threes), decreeing the importance of the number in the multiverse. Dominion Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, one target.

Asmodeus targets a lawful or evil creature and tempts them with their innermost desires. They adhere to a strict caste system and can advance through the ranks to reach the level of pit fiend and even possibly become an archdevil. After throwing a fit, Glasya agreed and was tasked with organizing the erinyes' work. Asmodeus approved this under the condition that Bel would concentrate on the Blood War with the Dark Eight. At the very dawn of the universe, reality was little more than swirling, primordial soup of infinite possibility, silmultaneously everything and nothing. My question is more, does he want me to get people to follow him or to believe that there is no afterlife (which I guess kind of ties into the get what you want now kind of thing). Realistically, this is a pretty fair point. [60], Following this aspect, all Asmodeus's clerics aspired to wealth, prestige, and most of all, power,[60] and most cultists used his organization as a stepping stone to these goals. Glasya, daughter of Asmodeus, standing in front of a picture of her father. [85], Why Asmodeus deposed Geryon was a mystery.

[168], Gargauth saw Asmodeus as the most capable archdevil, and reported on the loyalties of devils on the Material Plane. [198][199], Asmodeus was a figure long shrouded in mystery, surrounded by brutally repressed rumors suggesting there was more to him than he cared to admit. BelDispaterMammonFieranaBelialLevistusMalagardeBaalzebulMephistopheles The forces of law and chaos battled for eons, until the deities of law felt the need to track their progress and so created numbers for recording the slain foes and time to see how long victory would take.

I hope youve enjoyed this article and that it inspires you to include the god in the next campaign you run.

[99], The archdevils of Hell all sought Asmodeus's throne,[101] and while every one would gladly claim all he owned despite their sworn oaths of fealty and blatantly insincere displays of devotion,[102] none had the courage to move openly against him. Title(s) He then answered their further wails of downcast despair with a solution, that voluntary obedience to whom they, as creations, should obey, had to have consequence if they did not. [8], Geryon served as a spy for Asmodeus during the Reckoning, seemingly siding with Mephistopheles only to blow his horn before the climatic clash and signal all the commanders to betray their leaders. ASIs are not synergistic but the Asmodeus tiefling comes with useful spells. As the ruler of devils, Asmodeus is not necessarily the definitive personification of evil. Ability Score Increase: Adding an INT bonus to the tiefling's CHA isn't very helpful.

Youll need the most powerful artifacts you can come across, godly boons, and some way to substantially weaken Asmodeus before you even come close to standing a chance. Now, as an adult, I aspire to remind people that sometimes a little bit of fantasy is all you need when life gets to be too much. However, the origin myth which appears in v.3.5's Fiendish Codex II: Tyrants of the Nine Hells contradicts this, where Asmodeus is a fallen angel and the original founder of the current, baatezu-dominated Nine Hells during the signing of the Pact Primeval. Asmodeus touches a target and fills their mind with images of lost desires and forgotten dreams. There has been a long-standing rivalry between the two types of fiends, devils, and demons, and the devils are at least a bit more based in whats right.

For example, he allegedly steered Baalzebul, while still an archon called Triel, onto the path of corruption by appearing to him as a beautiful venomous flower. So it was that unbelief was perhaps Asmodeus's greatest weapon, the means by which he undermined the gods and subverted the very role of Hell itself in the order of all things. For now, the brief imagery should at least show you that Baator is not a cozy travel destination. He is, however, the chief of all things Lawful Evil.

[32][27][35] The forces of good were foolish, sentimental beings too soft and weak to do what had to be done.
