TACTICS

Before Combat If alerted to combat with the urdefhan raiders in area A1 or the proto-shoggoth in area A2, the meladaemon shock trooper casts blur and shield before combat.

During Combat the meladaemon opens battle by casting waves of fatigue on groups of PCs trying to storm the ramps, followed by rays of exhaustion from his wand. While the urdefhans fire on attackers from behind the barricades, the meladaemon takes to the air and targets foes with horrid wilting, lightning bolt, and quickened magic missile. If the PCs seem about to break through a barricade, the meladaemon attempts to repel them with fear. If forced into melee, he uses his long limbs to deliver touch spells, followed by attacks with his bite and claws.

Morale If reduced to fewer than 80 hit points, the meladaemon teleports to areas A7 and A8 to sound the alarm before returning to the fight 3 rounds later, at which point he fights to the death.

Base Statistics Without shield, the meladaemon's statistics are AC 27, touch 17, flat-footed 19.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Consumptive Aura (Su) A meladaemon radiates an aura of hunger to a radius of 20 feet. Every round a creature begins its turn within this aura, it must succeed on a DC 24 Fortitude save or take 1d6 nonlethal damage and become fatigued from extreme hunger. Creatures that do not need to eat are immune to this effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Disease (Ex) Daemonic wasting: Bite–injury; save Fort DC 24; onset 1 day; frequency 1/day; effect 1d4 Con and 1d4 Cha damage; cure 2 consecutive saves. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Hunger (Su) A meladaemon's claw attacks deal an additional 1d6 points of nonlethal dam
