description: When an army of devils invades to bathe a region in bloodshed and hellfire,
  it is likely that one of Hell's most powerful and diabolical generals, the pit fiend,
  masterminded the incursion. Cunning, powerful, and ruthless, pit fiends often serve
  the archdevils directly. They rule infernal duchies, subjugate mortal worlds, and
  usurp infernal rivals using unparalleled despotism and calculated ferocity. To realize
  their tyrannical machinations, pit fiends claim mortal souls that they corrupt into
  lemure servants, which can then be shaped and transformed through infernal manipulation
  into the terrifying devils that form Hell's formidable legions. They often select
  the most wicked and vicious lemures for their armies, drawing upon these lesser
  devils' depravity during powerful magical ceremonies to create hideous and terrifying
  abominations that can cow and eviscerate the pit fiend's enemies.

- description: The pit fiend reshapes a large number of lemures within a 600-foot
    radius into more powerful devils to swell Hell's legions. The pit fiend must have
    available the number of lemures listed on the table in the sidebar. The pit fiend
    can shape 100 lemures per day, to a maximum of 1,100 lemures in 11 days. Devils
    created in this way are in thrall to the pit fiend and follow its orders, with
    the exception of created pit fiends or other devils of similar power, which are
    always independent. As a result, few pit fiends choose to create peers. At the
    end of the Devil Shaping activity, the pit fiend attempts an incredibly hard Religion
    check of the desired devil's level, with results as follows. **Critical Success**
    The pit fiend shapes two devils from the massed lemures instead of one. **Success**
    The pit fiend shapes a devil of the desired type and level. **Failure** The devil
    shaped from the lemures is 2 levels lower than the intended devil. **Critical
    Failure** The pit fiend fails to shape any devils and draws the ire of an archdevil
    for its waste of resources.
