06-24-07, 11:19 PM Dragon #357 mentions Ilsidahur (The Howling King). Further research tells me that in Dungeon #10 (The Shrine of Ilsidahur) he was featured in his own adventure and even had stats.

Being a lover of all things Abyssal, I would like to stat this Tanar'ri as a labor of love, but I want to know of his features. His relative power level, and any unique abilities. I'm not asking for his old stats, but just a jist of what Ilsidahur could once do.

Thank you.

06-25-07, 10:44 AM I've never seen his earlier versions, so I just based mine off a very advanced bar-lgura. For comparison, he's CR 25 and my Demogorgon is CR 50 with 70HD.

06-27-07, 01:30 AM Advancing a bar-lgura is a great way to start building a 3.5 version of Ilsidahur, actually. If I were to do up a Demonomicon article for him, I'd probably peg him at CR 22 or 23 or maybe 24. He's pretty small potatoes as far as demon lords go.

06-27-07, 05:06 AM 24? That's the same CR as Baphomet and Zuggtmoy, whom I (personally) think are more important than Ilsidahur in the overall scheme of things (though I do think those two should have been comparatively tougher). I's peg him at 19-20, nearer to Shami-Amourae.
