Arioch, also known as the Duke of Chaos and the Unholy Knight of the Swords, is a god-like archfiend from the Abyss. Arioch is very intelligent, charming and manipulative. He takes a special interest in adventurers who get involved in the affairs of the gods of lawful and chaotic alignments, and constantly urges them toward serving chaos and evil after making them believe to be a friendly entity through deception. He usually appears to non-hostile creatures as a beautiful giant elf with gold skin, naked and surrounded by fire. Sometimes, though, due to magical distortions, one may catch a glimpse of his true appearance, too horrible and deformed for words. Arioch’s Sword. A demonic +3 greatsword that causes 3d6 slashing damage and 2d10 fire damage. Also the sword can temporarily cancel an item of all magical properties. The wielder of the sword can attempt to drain an item by touching the item with the sword. The DM decides if an item is successfully touched and if a saving throw needs to be made. The magic item touched then gets a saving throw (DC 18) plus a bonus based on rarity. If a creature is holding the magic item at the time of cancellation, then the item can add the holder’s Wisdom save bonus in place of its own bonus if the holder’s is better. If the saving throw is made, it is immune until after a long rest, otherwise on a failure, the item becomes temporarily non-magical.
