Demons or Devils?

0bsolete · Feb 21, 2008

Last session my players and I got into a debate over which was cooler, Demons or Devils.

Many of my player's tended to side with demons, I personally am a huge devil fan. I am actually not a fan at all of demons, except for Grazzt who I adore.

So, what do you guys think? Demons or devils?

As a player?

As a GM?

Overall?

Daemons >>> Devils >>> Demons

demodands get no respect at all.

Baatezu.
Or even more to the point of my affiliations: Ancient Baatorians

As a DM - maybe yugoloths - but they're so easy to hate it's almost too easy to yank the players around with. Baern can sometimes feel overused. (At least in my gaming group.)

Not a bit of it! Those triangle obsessed twits can hush.

Devils.

Devils but I'd rather they were lower level (this would apply to demons to)+ advance possibilities rather than 16-20 for the fun ones.

Neither. They pale in comparison to.......Modrons.

.....OK, that wasn't serious.

'Loths are cooler.

Demons. I guess the twisted madness of chaotic evil seems more horrific to me.
But devils and daemons both make great villains.

And I've used demodands, too. I guess that I just like fiends.

I'm a Baatezu fan myself.

One published adventure I thought was great that never gets any mention is Planescape's: Fire's of Dis. It's setup to allow 5th-7th lvl PCs to travel across the first 2 layers of Baator and encounter all kinds of Baatezu. It had some really creative encounters including a Pit Fiend and even 2 of the Lords of the Nine.

The PCs even have the chance to be a part of a multiverse altering event

I thought this adventure did a good job giving PCs a taste of what Baatezu are like.
