After reading the Eberron RHoD thread, my interest in these little buggers has recently been rekindled. Though I have FC2, I never really paid them much attention. After skimming through their stats, their legion's strength ability also appear to be their greatest Achilles heel.
Their dr is negligible. I suppose being able to use the best of multiple die rolls can help make up for poor saves. Their AC isn't really stellar (I shudder at the thought of a barb ramming into one with shock trooper), though their other defenses are fairly good (wide array of resistances/immunities and evasion to boot).
Their attack increases dramatically with additional legion devils, so hitting the PCs shouldn't be an issue (I can probably even improve their damage via power attack). They also possess excellent mobility (able to teleport around the battlefield).
Thus, I would like to hear your experiences with them, as well as any tips on using them effectively or pitfalls to avoid. Also, up to what EL can I pit them against a party and still be useful?
