Maliskra
Any tips and tricks on using her effectively? She, like the Second, seems like she'll be cut down right quick, as she doesn't have many individual abilities that will stand up to the PCs, just a wide array of shrug-off-able ones.
Thanks,

Re: Maliskra
three words: Orb of Oblivion.
Summon a Greater fire elemental, and a bone devil (or if you want more authentic a Babau) then when these big guys are out support with petrifying gaze (can always roll a one, even on DC 16) perhaps have a few more cure's memorized, and support the big guys. Maliskra seems to be more of a helper than combat munter. If she is encountered alone, or if she is caught with her pants down she will prolly be a high XP speed bump.
Remember- as the holder of the orb of oblivion she should not be unkillable - this is a mjor plot item the pc's need to complete, and due to her CR 16 if she really was that nasty she would trouble to campaign progress. This was playtested as being right for that area so I would not try to be completely playing her up to the CR - the Orb should make her nasty enough as it is! those summons are about EL 11, plus her 'real' EL closer to 13 makes a pretty good challenge for most parties that get this far unless they have been real cautious.
