[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 5148966, member: 834"] The problem is that very few DM will use the personal creation of another DM. Left unchecked, by the time we are into paragon levels, a player could adventure under two different DM (perhaps simulteneously, since we have up to 3 PC!) and be confronted by two irreconcialable version of who or what the lord of devils is. Passed a certain point, all adventure involve epic threats and we'll end up with so many different versions that the players will chuckle when a new one is introduced. -''Oh, so you are the mad god that will try to destroy creation this week? Cool, you'll be my third and I have heard of four more. Of course, on all previous occasions, the would be destroyer of the word was just barely thwarted and promised to try again. So if I were you, I would hurry, or someone might beat you to the punch line. That would make you a laughing stock at the 'Apocalypse Convention' held later this month!'' --- DM are free to tinker with henchmen and the lieutenants. Or with lesser, self contained threats. But IMO the top of the pyramid has to be codified just like we codified the pantheon. Otherwise, we might as well not be adventuring in the same world. [/QUOTE]
