(Sadism is a second level personal enchantment from the BoVD; it lasts 1 round/level, gives +1 luck bonus to attacks, saves and checks per 10 points of damage inflicted in a round.

Some fallen celestials who survived the civil war in Heaven retained an interest in the new races and over millenia became evil racial deities.
