 Classes of Legend: The Fiendblade
Introduction
Why should wizards and clerics have all the
fun?
Any reader of fantasy need not dig too
deep into the library of classics to come across
examples of warriors who also wield the powers
of magic and summoning. Consider, if you will,
a certain albino prince who carries a cursed
sword of unimaginable power. While one could
certainly argue that he was only a potent fighter
because of the powers of his blade, the truth of
the matter is that he was a combatant first and
a spellcaster secondyet on more than one
occasion, he achieved victory only by calling
upon the might of his dark and chaotic lord.
The Fiendblade
I wield not only steel, but the endless powers of the Pit of Souls. Pray,
in what time you have remaining, that it is merely the steel you taste before
death.
Elsirott Krell, the Bane of Andallin
Brutal, sinister, cruel, or simply
mistrusted, the fiendblade is one of the
most hated figures of almost any world.
Trained in the arts of war and the secrets
of summoning, he is a soldier the equal of
any other, yet he commands the might of
Hells legions. He is a perfect, unstoppable
killer, for what his blade cannot slay, his
fiendish allies most assuredly can.
Making a Fiendblade
The fiendblade, assuming he finds
companions willing to trust him, stands
alongside the fighter or the barbarian
on the front lines. While he lacks the
numerous feats of the former, the brute
strength of the latter, he is more than
good enough in general combat ability to
stand beside them. His mystical abilities,
however, more than make up for any mere
mundane skills he might lack.

For those who want to emulate that character
in particular, or who simply like the idea of
portraying a fighter who can call up his own allies,
Lions Den Press presents The Fiendblade, newest
in our Classes of Legend series. The fiendblade is
not a combination fighter/spellcaster, as is, say,
the paladin or the ranger. Rather, his mystical
abilities are limited specifically to the summoning
of fiends to aid him on the field of battle, and to
specific other class abilities that augment his
primary function. Its not quite like anything in
the game, but a unique methodology. We think
youll like this dark fellow and vice versa.
Assuming, of course, that youre standing
with him, not against him.

Abilities: As with all combat-oriented
classes, Strength is of primary importance
to the fiendblade. Charisma is equally
as essential, however, as it determines
the number and power of the allies on
whom he can call. Extra hit points from
Constitution, and extra AC from Dexterity,
are both valuable, as the fiendblade is not
proficient in heavy armor.
Races: Humans make up the majority of
fiendblades, as they are the most curious
and most ambitious race, and thus the race
most likely to truck with fiendish powers.
Half-elves are second-most common,
particularly those raised in human regions.
None of the other races commonly
become fiendblades, though corrupt (or at
least outcast) elves and gnomes are more
common than dwarves or halflings.

Not cumulative; this represents a total value. Remember to add your Charisma modifier to your
total as well.
Class Skills (4 + Int modifer per level, x4 at 1st level): Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft
(Int), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Knowledge (the
planes) (Int), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), and Swim (Str).

Alignment: Because they deal with
demons and devils, fiendblades cannot be
of good alignment. Many are evil, but some
do remain neutral. Lawful fiendblades are
rare but certainly possible, while chaotic
fiendblades are easily the most common
variety.
Starting Gold: 6d4 x 10 (150 gp).
Starting Age: As ranger.
Class Features
While the fiendblade is an expert
combatant, nearly the equal of the other
martial classes, his focus is on the fiendish
soldiers he can bring to bear against the
foe. His primary ability is the power to
summon those minions, and most of his
other class features tie him ever more
closely to the outsiders with whom he so
frequently deals.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: You
are proficient with all simple and martial
weapons, with light and medium armor,
and with shields (except tower shields).
Medium and heavy armor cause you to
risk spell failure when conducting your
summoning ritual, just as if you were
casting an arcane spell.
Summon Fiend (Sp): Your primary
ability is the power to summon fiends to
aid you. (For purposes of this ability, a


 Classes of Legend: The Fiendblade
fiend is defined as any outsider with
the evil subtype, or any animal with the
fiendish template.) This requires a brief
ritual, which takes a full-round action,
draws attacks of opportunity, and can be
disrupted just like casting a spell. You
decide, when performing the ritual, how
many fiends you wish to summon, and of
what type. You have a pool of points on
which to draw for this purpose. Your total
number of points is based on your level, as
indicated on Table FB1. In addition, you
add your Charisma modifier to this total.
The pool of summoning points refreshes
after you get a full eight hours of sleep.
Use of this ability draws attacks of
opportunity and can be disrupted, just as
a spell. Use the number of summoning
points you are spending in place of spell
level when making any Concentration
checks that take spell level into account.
You summon 1 Hit Die-worth of fiends
for each summoning point you spend while
performing the ritual. You may have no more
total HD-worth of fiends summoned at any
given time than one-half your fiendblade
level. For instance, if you are a 7th-level
fiendblade, you can have no more than 3
HD-worth of fiends at any given time. This
might be a single 3-HD fiend, three 1-HD
fiends, or any other combination totaling
no more than 3. If you summon three 1-
HD fiends, and one of them is slain, you
could then perform another ritual to call a
new 1-HD fiend, but you could not call a
fiend of 2 or 3 Hit Dice, because that would
raise your current active total above your
maximum of 3.
The fiends you summon can appear at
any point you designate, within close range
(25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels). They remain for a
number of rounds equal to your fiendblade
level plus your Charisma modifier, until
you choose to dismiss them, or until slain,
whichever comes first. They obey your
orders to the best of their ability, just like any
summoned creature, but they never forget
their fiendish nature. If your directions
are unclear or allow substantial room for
interpretation, the fiend may take it upon
itself to twist those orders. For instance,
they always fight for you as commanded
in combat, but a fiend with an area-effect
spell may accidentally catch some of
your allies in its blast unless you have

specifically told it to treat your allies as it
treats you. In no case does a summoned
fiend cause you any direct harm.
As with other summoning effects, fiends
called through this ability cannot, in turn,
summon or call other creatures to aid
them. They retain the use of all their other
abilities, however. Any feat that affects the
abilities of summoned creaturessuch as
Augment Summoningis also applicable
to this ability, should you choose to acquire
it. (You must still meet all prerequisites,
however, even if doing so means acquiring
feats that are useless to you.)
You cannot summon fiends with an
alignment subtype directly opposed to
your own. If, for instance, you are chaotic,
you cannot summon devils or other fiends
with a lawful subtype.
Sneak Attack: Starting at 2nd level, if
a fiendblade can catch an opponent when
she is unable to defend herself effectively
from his attack, he can strike a vital spot
for extra damage. The damage increases
ever five levels after 3rd (7th, 12th, and
17th). This is otherwise identical to the
rogue class feature. Sneak attack dice
from multiple sources stack.
Smite Outsider (Su): Once per day,
beginning at 4th level, a fiendblade may
attempt to smite an outsider with one
normal melee attack. He adds his Charisma
bonus (if any) to his attack roll and deals
1 extra point of damage per fiendblade
level. If the fiendblade accidentally smites
a creature that is not an outsider, the smite
has no effect, but the ability is still used up
for that day.
At 8th level, and at every four levels
thereafter, the fiendblade may smite an
outsider one additional time per day, as
indicated on Table FB1, to a maximum of
five times per day at 20th level.
Fiends Endurance (Ex): Each time
you gain this ability, you may select one of
the following benefits:
Damage reduction 2/cold-forged iron.
Cold resistance 4.
Fire resistance 4.
If you select the same benefit twice, its
effects stack.
 Classes of Legend: The Fiendblade
Rapid Summons (Su): At 10th level,
you have become far more adept at
summoning your fiendish allies. The ritual
now requires only a standard action, rather
than a full-round action.
Fiendish Metamorphosis: At 18th level,
your spiritual connection with the Lower
Planes results in a partial transformation.
Playing a Fiendblade
You revel in your power over others, both the
fiends of the Pit and your mortal adversaries.
It requires a degree of arrogance for anyone
to command the obedience of demons and
devils, and while this arrogance may not be
the defining factor of your personality, it is
clearly a part of who you are. You adventure
to hone your powers further still, and either to
gain further influence over the mortal realm,
or to serve the interests of your patron. Your
precise goals are, of course, up to you, but
you are a firm believer in the notion that you
can never have too much power to achieve
those goals.
Religion: Most fiendblades have a specific
patron. You may serve a god (probably but
not necessarily evil), or you may instead fight
in the name of one of the archfiends, such as
the demon prince Orcus or Asmodeus, Duke
of Hell. While fiendblades are not required to
serve the needs of a specific patron, or that
patrons cult, the majority of them do so at
least on occasion, in order to maintain favor,
if not constantly.
Other Classes: For the most part,
fiendblades treat others based entirely on
their compatibility with the fiendblades goals,
as they share interests in common with both
fighters and arcanists. Fiendblades distrust
and dislike paladins and clerics of opposing
powers, for obvious reasons.
Combat: You are very much a frontline
combatants, relying on martial abilities that
are nearly the equal of the fighter or ranger.
Especially at low levels, your summoned
fiends are relatively weak in combat. Use
them as distractions, to absorb damage, or
to set up flanks that allow you to use your
sneak attack.

You are forevermore considered an
outsider (native), rather than a humanoid,
for the purposes of spells and magical
effects.
Swift Summons (Su): At 20th level, you
are a master of your summoning rites. You
now require only a swift action to perform
the summoning ritual.
At higher levels, you are particularly
effective against outsidersbe they rival
fiends, celestials, or anything elseand
your own summoned minions are far more
potent in their own right. By the time you
have reached the heights of the fiendblade
class, your ability to summon them at an
instants notice allows you to place them
exactly where and when they are most
tactically effective.
Advancement: You may come from
a culture that reveres a dark power or an
archfiend as a local god, in which case you
might serve as an agent of that entitys cult.
Alternatively, you might be a student of the
mystic arts who prefers martial practice, or
a trained warrior who wanted to seek out
a means of calling and commanding your
own allies. Finally, its just possible that
like a sorcereryou discovered an inborn
talent, one that allows you to call demons.
Wondering at the precise source of that
power may well keep you up at night.
Unfortunately, most of the feats that
would enhance your summoning abilities
require prerequisites that do you no good.
Focus primarily on enhancing your martial
abilities, then, or on feats that let you
more effectively summon in the midst of
combat (such as Combat Casting, which
is equally effective for spell-like abilities as
for spells).

Fiendblades
in the World
Dark souls who have sold themselves

back, should you face one, for you can be
certain the heathen will set a demon on
it.
Sir Reinmar Tast, Knight-Paladin of
the Heavenly Chalice
The fiendblade offers something new
and different to the campaign, while still
fulfilling a fantasy archetype. It represents
the commander of the hellish legion, a
character with martial rather than mystical
skills who nevertheless has fiends at his
beck and call. While the fiendblade, as
written, is clearly suitable for use as a
villainous NPC, it does have its place in

the ranks of certain adventuring parties as
well. After all, though he makes use of foul
minions, the fiendblade need not himself
be truly evil. (And if this isnt sufficient,
consider some of the options presented
below, in the adaptation section, as these
are geared toward non-evil PC status.)
Daily Life: The day-to-day activities
of the fiendblade may vary dramatically.
Those who actively serve a dark or fiendish
patron, or hold a position in the cult of such
an entity, spend their days in obeisance
and on quests to increase the power and
do so only sporadically, may live lives like
any other adventurer. They might travel,
hold mercenary jobs, or spend their time
Fiendblades make potent military
leaders, but poor administrators. Their
and those who hold positions of power
normally do so as dictators, slave-drivers,
or fanatical theocrats.
Notables: Few fiendblades gain much
prominence among the common folk,
and those who do are usually infamous
as opposed to famous. Still, the names
of some are spoken in hushed whispers
behind locked doors. These include such
epithets as General Dyrkov of Grall, and
Senola Barrag, the so-called Bride of
Demons. Perhaps the single most infamous
fiendblade, however, is Elsirott Krell, a
half-elf long-tormented by his neighbors
in Andallin, whose vengeance spelled the
death of every citizen of that town.
Organizations: Few organizations are
fiendblade-specific. Most fiendblades who
belong to larger orders join sects devoted
to their fiendish or divine patron, or else
join mercenary bands and similar groups.
That said, a very few fiendblade-
oriented groups do exist. These include
the Fell Cabal, a gathering of fiendblades
devoted to an imprisoned god of madness
and death; the Scions of Bale, a company
devoted specifically to hunting down
paladins, clerics, and other servants of
good-aligned Churches; and the Army of
the Fallen, made up of non-evil fiendblades
who believe it is better to sacrifice evil
 Classes of Legend: The Fiendblade
minions in the battle against even greater
dark powers.
Although not every fiendblade
organization is overtly or specifically
devoted to a particular power or
patron, most have a fairly homogenous
membership when it comes to religious
affiliation. Combining fiendblade servants
of two different powers, particularly if those
powers are both archfiends, usually results
in far too much inter-organization conflict
and bloodshed for the group to survive.
NPC Reactions
With the very rare exception of those
who worship the same patronand
even then, rivalries may erupteveryone
views the fiendblade with outright hostility.
People hate and fear these soldiers who
command the forces of the Pit, and react
accordingly.
Fiendblade Lore
Characters with Knowledge (arcana),
Knowledge (the planes), or Knowledge
(religion) can research the Fiendblades to
learn more about them.
DC 10: The fiendblade is a fighter who
commands fiends.
DC 15: As the fiendblade grows more
powerful, he can summon stronger fiends,
and he can do so more swiftly.
DC 20: Fiendblades gain some of the
resilience of fiends, and eventually become
something other than human. They can
deal devastating damage to outsiders,
and practice techniques of combat that
involve cooperation with their summoned
minions.
Fiendblades
in Your Game
Fiendblades can appear in a campaign
as lone adventurers or champions of dark
forces, or as minions and leaders of vile
cults. They can easily pass as members
of other classes, as their unusual abilities
only manifest when they choose to use
them.
Fiendblade players should remain
satisfied with the class so long as they

consistently find opportunities to take
advantage of both their marital and
summoning abilities, and the occasional
chance to make use of their more esoteric
powers such as smite outsider. As much as
fiendblades are widely reviled, dont make
fiendblade players face mobs and hostility
everywhere they go. This hatred is part
of the playing the class, but it can grow
overwhelming and make the fiendblade
less fun to play if used to excess.
Adaptation: Although they need not be
evil, the fiendblade can be difficult to work
into some campaigns. Their use of demons
engenders hostility, and many good-
aligned characters (particularly clerics
and paladins) may refuse to associate
with a fiendblade regardless of alignment.
Fortunately, the class is easily altered to
fit different paradigms. By changing the
alignment restriction and summoning good
outsiders rather than evil, the fiendblade
can be transformed into a warrior for
Heaven. Similarly, consider changing the
class to summon elementals, and altering
smite outsider to smite elemental, and you
have a class with a link to more primal
powers.
Encounters: Encounters with the
fiendblade should allow him to make
use of his special abilities. Ambush with
multiple fiendish allies, or a fiendblade
standing at the head of a combined force
of orcs and demons, should prove far more
memorable than a simple fight wherein
the PCs take him down before he can
prove himself anything more than a poorly
armored fighter. That said, the fiendblades
resemblance to non-casting classes can
work to his advantage. Have him appear to
confront or even ally with the party under
false pretenses, only revealing his special
abilities at a time most advantageous to
him, and most disadvantageous to the
PCs.
EL 13: Elsirott Krell wasnt born evil,
but his constant torment by others in his
villagedue, at least in part, to his half-
breed heritageturned him angry and
bitter. Even today, long after devastating
Andallin, Elsirott seeks only to be left alone,
and to further understand the powers he
commands. He is, however, swift to anger,
and he responds to even the most minor of
insults or inconvenience with deadly rage.
