Cunning Words (Su) A friar devil is a devious entity and can harness the power of language for his purposes easily. After a minute of conversation it can learn the alignment of the person spoken to, unless the alignment is masked in some way. Additionally, when talking to humanoids, a friar devil can weave subtle compulsions into his words, affecting one or more creatures of the devil's choice with a concealed supernatural suggestion (DC 13), as per spell of the same name. All the creatures affected during the same conversation have to be targeted with the same suggestion. Each creature can be subjected to one such suggestion per day. This is a mind-affecting language-dependent compulsion effect that requires face to face conversation and doesn't work via telepathy. The saving throw is Charisma-based.
False Aura (Su) A friar devil's alignment aura reflects the alignment of the religion or church he currently tries to infiltrate.
Infernal friars are lesser devils that masquerade as pious (or not so pious) monks, usually infesting monasteries where they slowly corrupt their confraters, though occasionally they join various courts, townships, and noble households acting as spiritual advisors. Sometimes they pretend to be holy hermits to sway pilgrims and neighborhood villagers.
Infernal friars hide hide hoofed legs and serpentine tails underneath their frocks, and their brows conceal tiny horns. If those features are noticed they reveal their hidden tragic background as tiefling foundlings (which is technically true as all infernal friars are made out of tieflings) and plea for keeping their shame secret—often offering corrupting favors and rewards.
