I'm going to be running a tabletop game soon that involves the Nine Hells a great deal, and wanted the first adventure to deal with Levistus' followers.
In the Book of Vile Darkness and The Fiendish Codex II: Tyrants of the Nine Hells, it is mentioned briefly that the worshippers/clerics of Levistus are called Bladeravers, and they're very swashbucklery.
For the lower level followers, just having lightly armored, more dextrous, rapier wielding clerics with some appropriate ice spells and such will be okay, and so will Swashbucklers or Rogues for non-magical grunts...but for the higher-ups, I'd really like something special that the party will remember. Something that, if the party were to be reminded of a certain action, they'd immediately consider it synonymous with Levistus.
After thinking over it for a bit, I figured it couldn't hurt to come to these forums and ask for some advice! I mean...I don't even know where to start. Should I make some kind of prestige class for this sort of thing? Or a set of feats that do something special with an already existing class? Or just a unique monster (actually human, but 'monster' as a generic term) that has some flashy powers that can't be gotten in any sort of normal way?
Advice of any kind would be appreciated.
