Actions

Multiattack. The pit fiend makes four attacks: one with its bite, one with its claw, one with its mace, and one with its tail.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: (4d6 + 8) piercing damage. The target must succeed on a DC 21 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned. While poisoned in this way, the target can’t regain hit points, and it takes 21 (6d6) poison damage at the start of each of its turns. The poisoned target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: (2d8 + 8) slashing damage.
Mace. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: (2d6 + 8) bludgeoning damage plus (6d6)fire damage.
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: (3d10 + 8) bludgeoning damage.
Variant: Summon Devil (1/Day). The devil chooses what to summon and attempts a magical summoning. A pit fiend summons 2d4 Bearded Devils, 1d4 Barbed Devils, or one Erinyes with no chance of failure. A summoned devil appears in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of its summoner, acts as an ally of its summoner, and can’t summon other devils. It remains for 1 minute, until it or its summoner dies, or until its summoner dismisses it as an action.
