Power Attack (ex) - A Pit Fiend may choose to take a penalty to its attack roll (up to -5). For each point of penalty, the Pit Fiend does one extra point of damage. The Pit Fiend must decide to use power attack at the beginning of its turn and it applies to all attack made until the start of its next turn.
Regeneration (ex) - Pit Fiends heal at a fast rate, gaining 5 hp back each round. They can even regrow lost parts of their body if they are brought together within 1 hour of severing. They cannot be killed while their regeneration is still active. Regeneration can be suppressed by certain types of damage.
Aura of Fear (ex, Fear, Aura) - All creatures within 20 feet must make a WIS save or become frightened (level 3) for 1d4 rounds.
Devil Shaping (su) - Three times per day, a pit fiend can spend a minute to transform nearby lemures into other lesser devils. A pit fiend can transform one lemure for every Hit Die the pit fiend possesses. It can then reshape these lemures into a number of Hit Dice‘s worth of lesser devils equal to the number of lemures affected. For example, a typical 20 Hit Dice pit fiend could transform 20 lemures into two bone devils (10 HD each), or three bearded devils (6 HD each, leaving two lemures unchanged), or any other combination of lesser devils. Lemures to be reshaped must be within 50 feet of the pit fiend, becoming stationary and unable to move once the shaping begins. After a minute passes, the lemures reform into the shape of a new lesser devil ready to follow the orders of the pit fiend. Although pit fiends can, technically, elevate a mass of 20 lemures into a new pit fiend, most are hesitant to do so since they have no special control over a devil created in this manner.

- Melee (Natural) - 1 x tail slap +32 (2d8+6 plus constrict). Reach: 10 ft. Constrict - Each time the Pit Fiend successfully hits an opponent, it can make a grapple check as a free action to see if it holds its opponent. If successful, the creature is grappled. On any successful grapple check (including this initial one) the target automatically takes bludgeoning damage equal to the damage typically dealt by this attack.
Cleave (ex) - As a standard action, the Pit Fiend can make a single attack with a melee weapon at its highest attack bonus. If it hits, it deals damage normally and can make another attack against a foe adjacent to the first. The Pit Fiend may continue making as many attacks as possible provided opponents are adjacent and in range. Using cleave, causes the creature to take a -2 penalty to AC until its next turn.
