Ravage: The Balor is a force of pure destruction, taking special pleasure in destroying what others created.

Entangle:The Balor's whip entangles foes much like an attack with a net. The whip has 5HP per HD. The whip needs no folding. If it hits, the target and the balor immediately make opposed Strength checks; if the balor wins, it drags the target against its flaming body. The target remains anchored against the balor’s body until it escapes the whip.

True Seeing As the spell, permanent effect.
Firestorm: 1/day for each 2HD. No damage cap, and half the damage is profane damage.
Unholy Aura: 1/day for each HD, except that the Strenght damage applies to any attacker, not just good ones, and it affects even creatures immune to ability damage, but they gain a +5 bonus on their save.
Insanity:1/day for each 2HD. The Balor may use this as a swift action whenever it hits an oponent in melee, targeting the creature hit. It ignores immunity to Mind-affecting, but such oponents gain a +5 on their save.

Carnage: Whenever the Balor scores a sucessfull critical hit with a weapon, he may immediatily make another attack as a free action to any target whitin reach. As long as the Balor scores sucessfull critical hits he can keep attacking while there's targets whitin reach.
Death throes:When killed, a balor explodes in a blinding flash of light that deals 2d6 points of damage per HD to anything within 5 feets per HD (Reflex DC 10+1/2 H+Con for half damage). If he kills oponent with his death throes whose combined HD is equal or bigger to the Balor's HD, he re-forms 24 hours later on any place he has been to without experience loss.
Ferocious Destruction:At 20th level, the Balor is truly a living engine of chaos and death, striking whitout any hesitation, mercy or remorse while laughing at fancy enemy defences. The Balor now ignores any bonus to AC that isn't Size, Dex, Armor or Natural Armor, and its basic attacks cannot be reacted to with Immediate actions or free actions. In addition it can also now perform a basic attack as an immediate action at will.
CommentsBig, red an on fire, the Balor gets the best ability bonus so far, with a whooping +10 Str, +10 Con and +8 Cha.
In return, it is only a pseudo-caster instead of a true caster, plus slower and smaller than the dragons. Also most of his offensive SLAs are easily countered.
His SLAs only start kicking in at mid levels, so it must rely in melee at low levels. Executor grants a random don't save, just die, and with the whip, full BAB and extra Str he's quite good for frontal combat.
6 Skill points per level help counter the limited SLAs to give the Balor some utility, and finaly there's the summon demon power for some nova goodnes by summoning powerfull reinforcments. Also improved death throes so that it works as a free true ressurection if you take enough enemies down with you.
