I compared the experience given for Abishai with one of equal value ended up being the Barbezu devil which in the monster manual is CR3 so i have a platform now. Up first the Abishai!   Black Abishai Large Fiend (devil), Lawful Evil Armor Class: 13 Hit Points: (8d10+16) 64 Speed: 30 Ft. (60 ft while flying) **************************************************************************************************** Ability Scores: Str: 16 (+3), Dex: 15 (+2), Con: 15 (+2), Int: 9(-1), Wis: 11 (0), Cha 11 (0) **************************************************************************************************** Saving Throws: Str +5, Con +4, Wis +2 Immunity: Fire and Poison Resistances: cold; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from non magical weapons that aren't silvered Condition Immunity: Poisoned Senses: Darkvision 120 Ft, Passive Perception 10 Languages: Infernal, Telepathy 120 ft. Challenge Rating: 3 ****************************************************************************************************** Devil's Sight: Magical Darkness doesn't impede the devil's darkvision Magical Resistance: The devil has advantage on all saving throws against spells or other magical effects  Dive Attack: If the Abishai is flying and dives at least 30 feet straight forward towards a target and hits it with a melee weapon attack, the attack deals an additional 9 (2d8) damage to the target. ******************************************************************************************************* Multiattack: The Abishai makes three attacks, two with its claws and one with its tail Claws: Melee weapon attack: +5 to hit, reach 10 ft. one target Hit: 8 (2d4+3) Slashing Damage Tail: Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10 feet, one creature Hit: 7 (1d8+2) Piercing Damage plus a DC 13 constitution save versus poison or be poisoned for 1 minute. The target may repeat the save at the end of each of their turns.    This is the original stat block from 2e. http://www.padnd.com/monster_manual/mm00012.php
