Pit Fiend sub-race

Overview
Pit Fiends are usually ranked as General in Shavaraths devil army.

Pit Fiends are Evil Outsider type monsters. As all devils, they are always Lawful Evil.

A pit fiend often wraps its wings around itself like a grotesque cloak, and appears wreathed in flames. A pit fiend is 12 feet tall and weighs 800 pounds.

Combat
Pit fiends are wily and resourceful fighters, using invisibility to gain the upper hand and biting at foes seemingly able to see them. They don’t hesitate to blanket an area with delayed blast fireballs, and can call down the wrath of an inferno with meteor swarm.

A pit fiend’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned and lawful-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
