Salernodc 06-25-07, 01:00 PM	I was reading through the most recent issue of Dragon Magazine when I came across Kargoth's name in an article about Demogorgon. Stated that the two-headed baddy could gate in a few specific minions and Kargoth was one of the big two mentioned. Outside of the 2nd edition stat block in Best of Dragon volume III back in the 80s, has there been any 3rd edition stats for him anywhere? Thanks kindly. I didn't know where else to post this question.

Salernodc 06-25-07, 03:17 PM	Thanks a ton.

He was a Saint in 1E (Dragon 79), which was like a DvR1 or so being in 3E. IMC I maintain at least DvR 0 for him as well. And I have bumped his levels a few notches. The article also has stats for 3 other death Knights of CR18-21, and lists the classes of the remaining 8. ROB
Salernodc 06-25-07, 03:37 PM	Rob - I do not have access to Dragon #291. Can you please tell me what the base stats were in #291? Thanks a ton. I"m not looking for a massive stat block - just whatever basics you can provide.

Kihon 08-08-07, 02:13 PM	Any chance I could get you to send that to me also Rob. Thanks.
Salernodc 08-08-07, 04:14 PM	Rob - fire some saucy stats my way as well....even though I'm planning on buying ole #150. The stores in my state are achingly slow in getting WOTC & Paizo stuff. Thanks a ton.
rob_douglas 08-10-07, 11:54 PM	I highly recommend Dungeon 150. I am sorry you have to wait so long. I don't want to violate any rules, but I can give you a taste of the "upgrade" to Kargoth. Hopefully that will tide you over until you can get a copy. Assuming you have the old Dragon 291 stats... * Str goes to 32, Dex to 14, Int down to 16, Wis up to 18, Cha to 36. This is in part due to +5 inherent Cha, +4 Str, and a claok +6. Still needs the artifact for Str bonus - so he can get to 38 Str. * Hp up to 351 due to unholy toughness added - grants Cha bonus to Hp/HD. * He has flight now too - 20ft. * AC 45, in part due to an animated shield, Natural armor, and better ring totalling +12. * improved attacks based on greater strength, and an unholy sword * Intimidate now +36. Other skills minor changes mostly due to ability scores * Feats: drop iron will, light ref, and alertness; gain cleave, 2-wpn fighting * add in boots of speed * bilious sphere is a mace all the time, only bonus damage 5/day * DR from sphere is 15/cold iron and good - and activating Demo's favor is a free action. Everything else stays the same. I don't think he has his Nightmare mount with him - but I think I will add it back in. It helps him use his feats which are useless otherwise, and keeps him mobile. Not that it will last long when the PCs target it....Reading through the encounter, I am not sure the Nightmare would fit his tactics... And for epic levels, I would probably grant him 2 more fallen paladin levels, and then epic blackguard. ROB
