Pie Fiend

PIE FIEND
In its true form the pie fiend is a burly devil with massive bat-wings, cloven hooves,
a pair of horns, and razor sharp teeth. They are often dressed in a thick leather
apron which serves to protect their large belly. Unlike other devils, they smell not of
smoke and brimstone, but of cinnamon and pastry.
Grudging Respect. Pie fiends are one of the strangest creatures to ever
emerge from the hells, so strange in fact that some scholars believe them to be mere
myth, nothing more than a joke exchanged between the learned. In reality, they are
all too real, and it would behoove those who value their souls to take them seriously.
Even other devils understand the power held by an accomplished pie fiend, and while
they may make jokes about them in private, they are compelled to show these devils
respect, lest they face the wrath of their superior.
Bakery of Souls. Like all devils who operate within The Nine Hells, pie
fiends trade and barter in souls. They are highly intelligent, and master
manipulators. Using their ability to take on the form of humanoid creatures to
influence mortals seems to be their primary method of harvesting souls, afterall, one
is much more likely to let their guard down around the kindly old woman who bakes
delicious pies than they are around a bonafide devil from beyond the Material Plane.
They often set up bakeries in small towns and then use their standing with the
townsfolk to sway events one way or another in their favor. Occasionally they will
even establish themselves in large cities, working in conjunction with other devils to
bring the populace to its knees through the art of baking cursed confections. It is said
that pie fiends are capable of baking sweets so incredible that a mortal might be
tempted to trade their soul simply to have a second bite, and even if they don’t get a
soul out of the deal, it can at least provide the pie fiend with an unparalleled
distraction.
Sweet Tooth. Unsurprisingly, pie fiends have a sweet tooth that would make
even the most decadent noble blush. They love sweets, especially baked goods, and
often go out of their way to acquire such things whenever the opportunity arises.
They are exceptionally fond of baked treats that are made with unfamiliar methods,
such as those from cultures not encountered by the fiend or a particular baker’s
specialty. They not only savor the flavor of these confections, but they also make sure
to either find or figure out the recipe of any delectable dessert they come across in
their recipe book. Every pie fiend’s prize possession is their infernal tome of desert
recipes. Each one contains all the desserts, both magical and mundane, that
particular pie fiend knows how to make. The possibility of adding to this recipe book
is often a driving force in any given pie fiend’s actions.

with a thrown pie.

Ranged Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, range 120/200 ft., one creature.
Hit: 2 (1d4 + 8) bludgeoning damage plus any other damage or effects dealt by the pie.
Alter Self.
The pie fiend takes on a new physical appearance, or reverts back to its true form. The fiend
decides what it looks like, including its height, weight, facial features, sound of its voice, hair
length, coloration, and distinguishing characteristics, if any. It can make itself appear as a
member of another race, and it can change its size to small, medium, or back to large. Its
game statistics remain the same.
Animate Baked Goods (Recharge 5-6).

The pie fiend bellows a word of command, permanently transforming 1d4 baked goods
within 60 feet into pastrimps. The pie fiend can have up to 13 pastrimps under its command
at one time.
Heatwall (Recharge 5-6).

Beginning from a point the pie fiend can see, it creates a wall of intense heat that is up to 60
feet long, 20 feet high, and 1 foot thick, or a ringed wall that is 20 feet in diameter, 20 feet
high, and 1 foot thick. The wall is transparent and appears as heat waves rippling off the
surface it is placed on. When the wall appears, each creature within its area must make a DC
18 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 22 (5d8) fire damage, or half as
much damage on a successful save. One side of the wall, chosen by the fiend, deals 5d8 fire
damage to each creature that ends its turn within 10 feet of that side, or inside the wall. The
wall lasts for 1 minute, or until the pie fiend uses this ability again.
Make Into Pie (3/Day).

The pie fiend magically produces a sheet of flaky, thin, crust that it hurls at a huge or smaller
target it can see within 100 feet. The target must make a DC 18 Dexterity Saving Throw or be
restrained by the dough (escape DC 18). The dough has an AC of 16, resistance to piercing
damage, immunity to bludgeoning damage, and 30 hit points. If the entangled creature takes
fire damage from any source, that source deals the maximum amount of damage possible.
Waves of Contentment (1/Day).

The pie fiend conjures an alluring scent that smells of freshly baked pies and pastries. All
creatures within 60 feet of the fiend who can smell this scent must make a DC 18 Wisdom
Saving Throw. A creature who fails this save is charmed by the pie fiend and feels utterly
content for the next 10 minutes. During this time, the creature can take no actions. The
creature can attempt a DC 18 Wisdom Saving Throw at the end of each of their turns to end
the effect early. Any amount of damage received by a charmed creature ends the effect on
them immediately.
Bonus Actions
Create Pie.
The pie fiend conjures a pie in the palm of its hand. If the pie has any special properties, they
fade after 1 hour and the pie becomes mundane. It may choose to conjure any of the
following types of pie;
- Mundane Pie: This pie and all of its ingredients are mundane, however, the fiend may choose
what variety of filling is inside the pie such as fruit, meat, or custard. It has no special
qualities, and is completely edible.
- Cold Pie: This pie contains frozen ice conjured from the stygian depths of the fifth layer of
hell. Any creature hit with this pie takes 7 (2d6) cold damage. The remains of the pie cling to
the target causing them to take 3 (1d6) cold damage at the start of their turn for the next
minute, or until a creature uses an action to wipe away the remains.
- Hot Pie: Same as cold pie, but replace all instances of cold damage with fire damage.
- Sinfully Delicious Pie: This pie is a true masterpiece of the confectionary arts. Any living
creature who so much as tastes this pie is driven into a fit of ecstasy and must make a DC 20
Wisdom Saving Throw. A creature who fails this save is stunned for 1 minute. The pie fiend
can only create one of these pies each day.
- Sticky Pie: This meringue-like confection is unbelievably sticky. A creature hit by this pie is
restrained (escape DC 18) for 1 minute, or until the sticky pie debris is cleared away with acid.
PASTRIMP
This tiny creature appears, at first, to
be nothing more than a delicious baked
good. Closer inspection reveals that
something is not quite right. While its
body may resemble anything from a
croissant to an expertly baked pie, this
infernal little being is actually a devil
in disguise.
Baker’s Dozen. Pasrimps are confections infused with the soul of a mortal
and brought to life as freshly baked devils. They serve at the behest of the pie fiend
that created them, aiding in their master’s schemes. If their creator is ever destroyed,
the pastrimp may become a rogue fiend, following their whims and sowing chaos in
their wake.
Bite Me. While they certainly pose a threat when fighting alongside their
brethren, or a powerful pie fiend, the hidden danger of the pastrim lies within. The
fiendish essence inherent in each pastrimp is a lethal toxin to any mortal creature
who consumes it. Even a single bite can be enough to send a creature reeling.
Normally this wouldn’t be much of a problem, but due to the pastrimp’s propensity
for masquerading as a mundane dessert, many creatures have been the unsuspecting
victim of this dastardly trait. Even worse is that the pastrim can use their alluring
magic to entice the weak willed into taking a bit of them, even after they’ve revealed
their true form.

Traits
False Appearance.
While the pastrimp remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a normal pie or pastry.
Infernal Filling.
The body of a pastrimp is highly toxic to living creatures who are not devils. Any creature
who hits a pastrimp with a bite attack, or eats any part of its body, takes 14 (4d6) poison
damage, or half as much on a successful DC 14 Constitution Saving Throw. A creature who
fails their save is also poisoned for 1 minute. This damage does not break the effect of the
pastrimp’s intoxicating scent.
Actions
Stab.
Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.
Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) piercing damage.
Intoxicating Scent (Recharge 5-6).

The pastrimp emits a powerful scent reminiscent of freshly baked desserts and cinnamon in
a 30-foot cone. All living creatures in the area who are capable of consuming food must make
a DC 14 Wisdom Saving Throw. Creatures who fail this save are charmed by the pastrimp for
1 minute, or until they take damage from any source. While charmed in this way, they gain a
fly speed equal to half their walking speed and must use all their movement each turn to
move closer to the pastrimp if possible. If they move within 5 feet of the pastrimp, or begin
their turn there, they are compelled to make a bite attack against the pastrimp with their
action. If the creature does not normally have a bite attack, they make an unarmed strike
against the pastrimp using their mouth that deals 1d4 piercing damage. This attack always
hits.
