Abishai black

A black abishai.

Abishai are devils native to the Nine Hells of Baator. As some of the lower ranking baatezu, they serve as skirmishers and infantrymen in the eternal Blood War, on the side, of course, of law.

Abshai are fearsome, equipped with wings and a tail, and horns coving their bodies, and although they aren't the brightest of the fiends, they are just as malicious and ambitious, and thus can still pose a danger to the unwary.

There are three types of abishai present in Planescape: Torment: the black, green and red varieties.

Black Abishai[]

The black abishai are the lower ranking ones, weaker than their green and red counterparts. They can often be found in Sigil's Wards, and, of course, on Baator.

Black abishai have two special abilities:

  • Immune to non-magical weapons (means attackers need enchanted weapons +1 or better to hit them)
  • Regeneration: 1 HP per 15 secs.

Stats:

Black Abishai
Level HP Attacks AC THAC0 Str Dex Con Int Wis Chr

XP Value Saves vs. Death Wands Poly Breath Spell
7,000 10 to 12 10 to 12 10 to 12 10 to 13 10 to 12
Resistances vs. damage type
Fire Cold Electricity Acid Magic Mag. Fire Mag. Cold Slash Crush Pierce Missile
100 50 0 0 15 to 30 100 50 0 0 0 0

Due to their very high experience value, defeating black abishai in the Hive is a quick way to level early on in the game, although it might cost some copper for healing charms, since they can be tough at that stage. They drop random poor loot.

Judging by their stats, Aethelgrin and Tegar'in in the Smoldering Corpse Bar are black abishai.

Green Abishai[]

The green variety of abishai are slightly stronger than their black counterparts, and one step closer to promotion to another type of baatezu. They are predominantly found on their home plane, but there is one in the Clerk's Ward: Grosuk.

These abishai also have special abilities:

  • Immune to non-magical weapons (means attackers need enchanted weapons +1 or better to hit them)
  • Regeneration: 1 HP per 15 secs.

Stats:

When killed, they drop random poor loot.

Red Abishai[]

Just one step away from promotion to another type of baatezu, the red abishai are the strongest of their kind.

Like their black and green cousins, the red abishai have the same special abilities:

  • Immune to non-magical weapons (means attackers need enchanted weapons +1 or better to hit them)
  • Regeneration: 1 HP per 15 secs.
