@dave2008 the spoiler spells under your Asmodeus refer to Mephistopheles.
He appears impossible to beat :ROFLMAO:
The beauty and terror of "copy-paste!"

I will get that cleaned up, but I am thinking of adding some ideas from this Asmodeus as well.

Definitely not impossible to beat, but you have to be really prepared if you want to take him on. Now, if you want see impossible, I can show the Tiamat I am working on. ;)

How are the monsters looking? There's some interesting names on that ToC
There are a lot of monsters to look at so I haven't done a detailed review yet (and I am at work at the moment), but on a quick glance they look pretty good. The archdevils have some interesting abilities.

I am doing an in-depth review of the archdevils, but I have only gone through Asmodeus and Baalzebul so far. One thing I would comment is that they seem to be designed by people who don't play high-level / epic 5e. So while they have some cool features/actions and they look fun so far, they don't really work so well as solo monsters to take on a high level party. If you have them fight with minions they should be fine, but they don't have all tricks they need to take on lvl 17+ groups IMO. Of course that depends on the group too.

Thank you!! I will keep that in mind! :)
