There's a lot more to do in the Abyss than kill demon princes, Krust. Expedition to the Demonweb Pits is not in any sense a remake of Q1. It's an entirely new adventure. See the Paizo thread.

FC2 killed this argument dead with the sentence that said the stats there weren't intended as their "actual stats." By implication, the FC1 stats are aspects, too. Amazing what a single sentence can do.

It's an RPG that TSR released in the early '90s. According to the ad they mailed out at the time, "it's supposed be a revolution!" The main gimmick was that your character in one campaign could earn experience for your character in another campaign, somehow. It was very rules-light; the main...

Since Balruhk and Lydzin are generals in the Blood War, they'd presumedly serve Bel. Balruhk's current status is unclear. It's very possible his spirit was torn apart to help create the elemental demons (Dragon Compendium).

Back in 1993, TSR published a book called For Faerie, Queen, and Country (link to PDF store) that seems like it would fit your idea perfectly (I own a copy of the book, and I like it quite a bit).

Baalzebul hated pit fiends before the Reckoning as well, though the Reckoning didn't help matters. Dragon #76, page 24: As it turned out, as soon as he loosened his standards, he was proven right.

Perhaps the hag destroyed them when they failed one of her inspections: Perhaps Bileth and Tartach were put in charge of bronze citadels, and didn't take the duty as seriously as the Hag required.

In the context of this thread, it seems we're defining rules as numerical qualities assigned to various characteristics of a character. It should be obvious, however, that these are not the only kinds of rules that can define a game. Some RPGs use variants of "rock, paper, scissors" to...

Stats are an aid to roleplaying, not its heart. Something exists if the DM and players agree it does, whether or not its attributes are formally enumerated. This is as true for a powerful, threatening creature as it is for an unimportant peasant. I don't think the Far Realm or its inhabitants...

I think Amon was trying to play both sides, openly working for Levistus but also assisting in Geryon's attempt to recover his throne in A Paladin in Hell. During the course of those events, Levistus' amnizu spies must have noticed what Amon was doing, so he was not welcomed back after Geryon's...

She was alive in Faces of Evil, and ignored in Guide to Hell and Book of Vile Darkness. Guide to Hell made Gazra the commander of the army of Phlegethos (page 42). It seems very difficult to make any sense of Fiendish Codex II's presentation of the Dark Eight. I'd rather it was ignored, but...

That's from FC2, though I can't give a page number. Just Fierana, I think.

Pollus Windscreamer is mentioned in the Baator booklet, page 18. I listed him among Mammon's hierarchy simply because he has an important job in Minauros. He's probably dead at this point, since Tyrants of the Nine Hells replaced him with a pit fiend. I had suggested that Nergal was part of...

What makes you so sure Ehkahk is evil? His alignment was never mentioned in Planescape.

I see. So you're not claiming that demons cannot be redeemed, only that they will not be redeemed, because it is impossible that new situations could arise that they were not aware of when they made their initial decisions. It is impossible that their personalities could change in a way that...

Rilmani don't inspire hate; they inspire indifference. There's virtually nothing on them anywhere, even in Planescape (the PSMCII, Faces of Sigil, and Tales From the Infinite Staircase are virtually their only appearances). If skeptical editors are to be convinced of their utility, they need...

Page 65. There's very little information on him, however. He was one of those angry at Rashid ben Daoud when he defaulted on his debts. Sounds fine.

Yeah, I pointed that out in an earlier version of this thread. Erik Mona picked up on the reference and officially named the Rift of Corrosion as layer #652 (contested).

You gave a quite elaborate example, which is what I was responding to. If you didn't mean to necessarily endorse the example, but instead had something else in mind, I suppose it's my fault for taking the post at face value. However, perhaps you can see why I thought that the example in your...

So 'outsiders' must either be incapable of choice or they are basically human? I submit that this is a false dichotomy. Fiends in D&D are, by and large, neither fallen celestials nor are they particularly anthropomorphic in their mindset. They do not think or act like people, but the lack of...
