 Erinyes have specific abilities that are not spells, which they can perform [[Innate Ability|at will]] at a cost of 1 [[Action Points|action point]] (AP); they can only perform one of these per [[Combat Round|round]], however.  They are able to see perfectly well in complete darkness or light. This '''ultravision''' is similar to the [[Ultravision (spell)|2nd level illusionist spell]] of the same name, except that it is continuous. They are also '''immune to normal weapons'''. To cause [[Damage (hit points)|damage]] to the creature, it must be with a '''magic weapon'''.
-They also have '''immunity to many elemental attacks''', such as those that employ '''cold''', '''fire''' or '''gas''' of any type. They '''cannot be charmed''', '''made to sleep''' or mentally affected in any way. Their minds '''cannot be read with ESP''', or their intentions be otherwise known. Even [[Augury (spell)|augury]] and [[Divination (spell)|divination]] can provide no information on their movement or designs. Barbed devils also possess a '''magic resistance''' of 30%. They are '''never surprised'''.

 Erinyes are able to employ various '''magical powers''' as well, performed at the 7th level: [[Detect Invisibility (spell)|detect invisibility]], [[Locate Object (spell)|locate object]], [[Invisibility (spell)|invisibility]], [[Polymorph Self (spell)|polymorph self]] and [[Produce Fire (spell)|produce fire]].  These must be cast as spells and cannot be performed at will.

 '''Erinyes''' are a type of powerful fiend, also known as the Furies.  They are female [[Devil|devils]] from the Lower Planes of Existence, often portrayed as winged and wearing armor, with faces contorted in rage. Erinyes are agents of vengeance and are sent by greater devils to carry out their masters' will, especially when it involves punishment or torment. They are most often tasked with enforcing retribution, punishing oathbreakers or dealing with those who have betrayed or defied higher powers.

@@ Line 23: / Line 23: @@
 Physically, Erinyes appear as tall, beautiful women with sharp features, often resembling humans but with a terrifying and otherworldly presence. Their wings are often described as bat-like or feathered, and they wield magical weapons such as whips or swords. These whips are typically imbued with magical powers that can inflict intense pain, cause flames to erupt from the target or even curse those struck. They are known for their ability to charm and manipulate others, often using compelling magical abilities to force people into servitude or to break their will.
-Erinyes are highly intelligent and manipulative, often acting as temptresses or agents of influence, sowing discord and hatred where they tread. They are capable of casting spells similar to witches, including invisibility, charm person and fireball. Their demeanor is cruel and unforgiving, and they revel in the suffering of others, especially those who have committed moral transgressions.  They are often used as bounty hunters or mercenaries within the infernal hierarchy, chasing down those who have escaped divine or infernal punishment. They can be found anywhere from the '''Infernal Regions of [[Baator]]''' to the mortal realm, where they are sent to extract vengeance on those who have wronged their superiors or violated sacred pacts.

-In combat, Erinyes are formidable opponents, skilled with both their magical abilities and combat prowess. They are often encountered in the service of more powerful devils, but they are also known to strike out on their own when tasked with personal vendettas. While not as powerful as other archdevils or devil lords, Erinyes are dangerous and cunning, capable of turning the tide of battle with their charismatic influence and brutal fighting style.
 Baator is, in this game world, a hidden domain beneath the crumbling ruins of [[Malbolge]], where erinyes luxuriate with their victims, endlessly seducing, otrmenting and manipulating them in an abode where pain is art, where fallen spirits are not simply tortured, but broken, reshaped, and remade inevitably into [[Lemure|lemure]] with no comprehension except hate.  As architects of personal ruin, the erinyes are feared, as even [[Horned Devil|horned]] or [[Barbed Devil|barbed devils]] have been given to them as punishment, ending in these more powerful demons being demoted to yet another lemure through an insidious, inescapable damnation.
