Apparently the latest Dungeon has a preview from FCII which includes a Pleasure Devil
any ideas on what a Pleasure devil is? Is it something old or something Wizards created for FCII? |

That would be Shemeska the Marauder, of course! ;)
For furries perhaps. For everyone else, there's innate Shapechange as an SLA. ;)
Hey, I am a furry! ;) And just what is an 'SLA'? |

Looks to me like a Pleasure Devil is a creature that's part of an adventure that's itself designed more to get people to buy the Fiendish Codex 2 than, well, to be an adventure.
The artwork for Lady Madori (our aforementioned Devil) is quite eye-catching and combinatory (sorry, can't think of a better word). That is, she's physically alluring, but also quite muscular (arms w' veins popping out as she draws her firey bow).
Very much a devilish creature.

I already have that supplement Lady K  a very good and fluffy book...with alot of Loth material
As far as I can remember except for that (somewhat disliked) Dragon Mag Annual article about the night hags and the archanoloths (sp?) I feel the 'loths really havn't been put under the microscope like the demons and devils have had...even their home planes have recieved similiar treatment, comparing Baator and the Abyss vs The Gray Wastes... |

The gehreleths received enough treatment in Faces of Evil, I think.

If this is true, does that mean the gehreleths may also receive an update as well?

They're an illusion! They're fake!
Real is where it's at.  Even an erinyes should appreciate that fact.

The three Erinyes, or Furies (Alecto, Megaera, and Tisiphone), were born from the blood of Kronos' castration of Uranos. They were seen as spirits of vengeance, especially when it came to crimes within the family. I can see them serving nicely as servants of Hoar, as they in many ways represents the punishment one can not escape no matter what position one holds or what one gets away with among men.
I have always wondered why they were made into tempters of man in the older editions. They are more a form of divine servants than demons (of the summonable kind at least) originally, but the role as tempters of human kind is taking it a bit far. Although I seem to remember there being some myths about them tempting mortals into hatred and crimes also. |

How are they different from regular erinyes?
They have Skill Focus (Blow Your Mind) maxed out.

Only problem I had with Hordes of the Abyss, was they didn't give ECLs for any of the fiends they introduced. |

I could be wrong but...
I think if you look up the real world inspiration of the Erinyes you'll see they are some sort of greek demon/monster related to the Furies I think...so the punishment dealer image I think is the approiate one...
Yes, that is where the Greek origin is from.
But back in 1E and 2E they were more seducers, now they are "screeching harpies" |

I haven't checked out dungeon 140 yet. Also the name Erinyes comes from the name Erinys a chthonic goddess of wrath in Greek mythology. She was consort to Poseidon and she engendered all horses. Her collective form was the three Erinyes also know as the furies. |

Would need to see write up, however posible answers include Higher Cha, more spell-like abilities to suduce control posible targets, more HD, perhaps enhanced imunities, etc. |
