All saves are Cha-based.
During Combat One thing the tuhim are renown for is their incredible pacifism. These angels will never willingly harm another, even the most evil of fiends, and will spend all their efforts healing and protecting their allies--usually angels. If forced into combat, they will attempt to subdue their foes with nonlethal damage, making full use of their merciful hand ability.
A tuhim's natural and wielded weapons are considered good-aligned for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction.

Treasure Double standard; no coins
Change Shape (Su) A tuhim can assume the form of any Small or Medium humanoid.
Merciful Hand (Su) Tuhim are fundamentally creatures that do kill, at the very worst merely disabling. A tuhim's natural attacks and any attacks made by a weapon in the hands of a tuhim are considered to have the merciful weapon property.
Protective Aura (Su) Against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures, this ability provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws to anyone within 20 feet of the tuhim. Otherwise, it functions as a magic circle against evil effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both with a radius of 20 feet (caster level 16th). This aura can be dispelled, but the tuhim can create it again as a free action on its next turn. (The defensive benefits from the circle are not included in a tuhim's statistics block.)
Sacred Healing (Ex) The tuhim is naturally imbued with greater healing powers than any mortal creature and most other angels. Once per encounter, a tuhim may add its Cha modifier as a bonus to the amount of healing it can provide with its spell-like abilities that cure hit-point damage.
Tongues (Ex) Tuhim can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level 12th). This ability is always active.
Standing here is a beautiful woman draped in white robes of silk, bathed in light and bearing two graceful, white wings that seem to shine like starlight. She carries a silvery rod topped with a small silver sculpture of a perched eagle, but she does not seem willing to use it. Her eyes are warm, and feel as though they sooth the soul.
The tuhim are a choir of angels that disdain warfare, but are frequently found in angelic wars as healers and protectors. More often than not, they appear as beautiful humanoid women with white wings and silken robes, unstained by most everything. Many will carry light weapons, but disdain their use unless entirely necessary. These angels will often be the agents of gods of good, such as Sarenrae and Iomedae.

During Combat Paigoels used to be adventurers, so they know many of the classic dungeoneering tricks and how to counter them. They don’t let on that they can see invisible creatures, for instance, allowing sneaky characters to get close before lashing out. Some paigoels even pick the pockets of enemy rogues to prove that they’ve still got it. When combat gets down and dirty, paigoels use their hail of darts in corridors where possible and then close to let their ten arms finish the opposition.
A paigoel can wield a different weapon in each of its ten hands. For the sake of ease, average damage is provided above. GMs who want more precision should detail the weaponry carried and determine damage by weapon. A paigoel’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as chaotic-aligned and evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

 Hail of Darts (Su) TAs a standard action, a paigoel can project a hail of darts from its outstretched palms in a line 30 feet long and 5 feet wide. Those caught in the hail take 10d6 points of damage (Reflex DC 19 half). The save DC is Constitution-based.
Multiweapon Mastery (Ex) A paigoel never takes penalties to its attack roll when fighting with multiple weapons.
Potent Charge (Ex) A paigoel can take advantage of its many arms for extra attacks when charging. If a paigoel executes a successful charge, it can make up to three attacks that round instead of the usual one.
Whirling Blades (Ex) The paigoel can use its multiple arms to defend and attack. As a full-round action it can choose to grant itself a +5 deflection bonus to AC but then can only make 5 melee attacks in that round. This bonus to AC lasts until the paigoel’s next turn.
All-Around Vision (Ex) A paigoel can see in every direction, providing a +4 racial bonus on Peception checks. A paigoel can’t be flanked.
True Seeing (Su) A paigoel has a permanent true seeing ability as the spell (caster level 12th).
This creature’s ebony skin stretches over the impressive muscles beneath. It appears as a mass of five creatures fused back-to-back and is now a single monstrosity with ten eyes, ten arms, and ten legs.
The personal layer of Anarazel, the Guardian of a Thousand Terrors, is known as the Caves of Chaos. Within endless miles of corridors and galleries, Anarazel has secreted treasures beyond mortal comprehension and set deadly traps and monstrous creatures to guard them. Among his favorite guardians are the fierce fiends known as paigoels.
Paigoels are near and dear to Anarazel’s avaricious heart because they are made from the souls of his most dedicated worshipers. Those who give praise to the Guardian of a Thousand Terrors know that if they die seeking treasure in the deep dark of a dungeon, they’ll be given a new demonic shape when their souls arrive in the Caves of Chaos. What very few know, however, is that when an entire adventuring party is wiped out in some tomb of horror, the souls of the slain are fused together to create a paigoel.
With eyes facing in every direction, Paigoels cannot be surprised. Anarazel uses paigoels to guard precious artifacts in the Caves of Chaos, and he sometimes sends them to haunt the deepest levels of famous dungeons in the Material Plane.

Spell-Like Abilities (CL 16th) At will—greater teleport (self plus 50 pounds of objects only); 1/day—desecrate, plane shift (DC 18). The save DC is Charisma-based.
During Combat Eurynomus loves to muscle his enemies around, so he usually charges at the first good opportunity and uses his greater bull rush ability to fling back and hopefully knock down the toughest-looking opponent. Then it’s time for the toothy maw to do its work. When faced with a multitude of foes, Eurynomus starts with his breath weapon to even the odds. Eurynomus’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons he wields, are treated as chaotic-aligned and evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Breath Weapon (Su) Once every 1d4 rounds, Eurynomus can spew forth a cloud of foul corrosive gas from the depths of his bowels. 40-foot cone, damage 10d6 acid, Reflex DC 21 half. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Greater Bull Rush (Ex) Eurynomus receives a +8 bonus on Strength checks when making bull rush attacks. Such is the force of his impact that if his Strength check result exceeds that of his opponent by more than 5, the opponent is knocked prone in addition to being pushed back.
Toothy Maw (Ex) The vile maw in Eurynomus’ distended stomach chomps at nearby opponents in combat. If Eurynomus hits a single opponent with both his claw attacks, he can make one additional bite attack against that opponent with a +17 attack bonus that deals 3d6+3 damage.
With cloven hooves, a barbed tail, tall twisted horns, and wicked claws, this great fiend is an imposing sight. Where its belly would be, a second face licks its lips, its maw looking like it could swallow a person whole.
Eurynomus is a primal demon lord who owes allegiance to no power or prince. He and his followers rule no territory and fight for no cause. On a plane obsessed with souls, Eurynomus’s taste runs to something else: flesh.
Known as the Corpse Eater, Eurynomus has a voracious appetite for flesh of all sorts. Nothing gives him more pleasure than sucking the meat off the bones of a freshly killed victim, a passion he shares with the ghouls that follow him. He is such a glutton, so the story goes, that he grew a second mouth in his belly so he could eat faster. Whatever the truth of its origin, his horrific lower maw is legendary. It never speaks, moving only to eat or to lick its lips in anticipation of its next feeding.
The Corpse Eater does what he must to feed his addiction. He sometimes hires himself out to demon princes, though in truth he isn’t a very reliable mercenary. He often visits the Material Plane to feed, and he especially enjoys traveling to worlds at war. Blasted battle-scapes, filled with the wounded and the dying, are places of beauty to Eurynomus.
Men crying out for their mothers before the oblivion of death are like invitations to dinner for the Corpse Eater and his followers.
In some lands graced by visits from Eurynomus, funerary customs changed quickly. Several churches have taken to cremating corpses instead of burying them, to better protect the honored dead from desecration.

Caster level 11th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
During Combat Alastors spend a great deal of time hunting down potential victims, either at the behest of the Magistrate Cabal or for their own amusement. Once a victim has been chosen, they prefer to use greater teleport to take the quarry by surprise. All encounters begin with an alastor pronouncing sentence. (Though the purpose of this ability is to exact vengeance upon the enemies of the nalfeshnee in the Magistrate Cabal, alastors prefer to use it against all of their victims.) Thereafter, it attacks with its spell-like abilities and vengeful scythe.
An alastor’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as chaotic-aligned and evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Treasure Standard coins; double goods; no items
Pronounce Sentence (Su) Once every 3 rounds, an alastor may point at a single enemy and pronounce sentence upon it by uttering the word “guilty” in Abyssal. The target must immediately make a Will save (DC 17). This is a sonic, mind-affecting effect. If the save is successful, the creature cannot be affected again by that alastor’s pronounce sentence ability for one day. Those who fail immediately drop anything in hand and kneel upon the ground, presenting their necks for a killing blow. A kneeling opponent is considered helpless. The effect lasts 2d4 rounds or until dispelled. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Vengeful Scythe (Ex) An alastor’s weapon is a +1 anarchic, unholy scythe. Further, it ignores the damage reduction of even the most powerful demons (which is one of the reasons even balors fear an alastor on the prowl). The scythe disappears when the alastor dies or if separated from its owner for more than 24 hours. An alastor whose scythe has vanished can magically summon a new one as a full-round action.
True Seeing (Su) Alastors continuously use this ability, as the spell (caster level 11th).
Standing as tall as an ogre but possessing the lithe, muscular frame of an athletic human, this creature has dull mustard-yellow skin and wields a great scythe. Spiky bone ridges cluster at its elbows, shoulders, and on the back of its lizard-like head, out of which shine bright red eyes.;
Many planar travelers make the mistake of assuming that, because the Abyss is chaotic, the demons who dwell within it have no laws. A consortium of nalfeshnee known as the Magistrate Cabal give the lie to such mistaken impressions, and alastors are their servants
From a layer called Black Regulus, these thirteen masked nalfeshnee debate and draft laws that govern the behavior of demons, souls, and visitors from the Material Plane alike.
They then sit in judgment of violators (who most often are tried in absentia), sentencing many to horrific tortures or gruesome death. To the casual observer (and even some dedicated scholars), the body of law created by the Magistrate Cabal is contradictory at best, changing on what appears to be the whim of the nalfeshnee. The laws defer to the demon princes, never seeking to limit their power or influence. Everyone else would ignore the Cabal’s rulings like the mad ramblings they are save for one factor: the alastors.
If the nalfeshnee serve as the legislators and judges in this bizarre legal charade, alastors serve as the executioners. The Cabal dispatches alastors from their lair, entrusting the creatures with carrying out whatever sentence it has decreed (almost always that of death). After an alastor has pronounced sentence, its chosen victim can either fight or run away. In the court of the Abyss, there are no appeals.
Armed with magic scythes that ignore the natural protections of demons, alastors strike fear into the desiccated hearts of all but the hardiest demons. Alastors especially hate those who would bring goodness or just law to the Abyss, and they attempt to destroy such interlopers regardless of the decrees of their masters.
In addition to the massive scythes carried by all alastors, the more dramatic executioner demons deck themselves in voluminous robes and carry hourglasses, gavels, and other symbols of judgment.
