Description

Eblis lives in a desert plain that characterizes the Arabic plains. He carries a scimitar that stuns his opponents unless a save is made versus magi : (duration 1-4 rounds). He lives on a plane populated by jinn, evil elementals, and a few elemental-like demons. Eblis, himself, appears as a huge stork-like bird with an additional pair of hands from which he uses his weapon.

He may also use any of the following spell-like powers, at 20th-level ability, once per round-audible glamour, change self, hypnotism, spook, wall of fog, blur, hypnotic pattern, telekinese 10,000gp weight, invisibility, assume gaseous form, teleport (no error), darkness (15'r), grant another's wish (1/day), project image, water breathing, use a symbol of hopelessness (1/day), and may gate in any demon (of type I-IV) with a 75% chance of success. He may also case the following magic-user spells, at 20-level-ability-9 1st-level, 8 2nd-level, 7 3rd-levl, 6 4th-level, 5 5th-level, 4 6th-level, 3 7th-level, 2 8th-level, and 1 9th-level spell. The following spells are recommended, but may be altered by the DM:

  • 1st-level: burning hands, shocking grasp, magic missilex6, sleep
  • 2nd-level: webx2, stinking cloudx4, mirror image, continual light
  • 3rd-level: dispel magicx3, fireball, lightning bolt, haste, slow
  • 4th-level: fireshield, polymorph other, wall of firex2, wall of icex2
  • 5th-level: cloudkill, conjure elemental, cone of coldx2, wall of force
  • 6th-level: anti-magic shell, disintegrate, death spell, globe of invulner.
  • 7th-level: cacodemon, limited wish, power word-stun
  • 8th-level: incendiary cloud, polymorph any object
  • 9th-level: meteor swarm

He may also summon elementals (1/day), as follows:

RollResult
14 dust devils (as spell)
21-3 grue elementals-earth
31-4 grue elementals-fire
41-3 grue elementals-water
52-8 eblis
61-4 grue elementals-air
71-6 water weirds
81 randomly chosen 8HD elemental

(If a result that occurs cannot logically happen, such as summoning a fire elemental in the middle of the ocean, then re-roll). He is at war with the female peris (an evil lower planar race). He is also, strangely, even though the alignments differ (eblis are neutral evil), the patron god of eblis. However, he has no priests originating from this race.

5 sons of Eblis (cambions)

Cambions are listed in MMII (qv. which is why I did not list their other powers).

Eblis' sons serve as his vassals and also manage his realm. Some of them Dasim, for example) may serve as generals of his army (lots of expansion in the DM's part here) warring against the peris.
