See!?! Between my last post and this one, more people have posted comments and questions about the archfiends in the BoVD. There is lots of cool stuff in the BoVD, and I am desperate to buy it, but its horribly obvious that what most people were curious about were the archfiends and how...

Dont get me wrong, your style of roleplaying is as valid as any other style. There is no right or wrong. Its just that my gaming group prefers this style, and will not play any other style. I have another group of friends who play SW just like I do, but they have a separate campaign from my...

I read and post to the WOTC boards more than these boards (just look for a user named Greymarch), mainly because I can get official confirmations to my queries over there. They do listen to players at the official boards, and I can prove it: For the past several months, I have been arguing on...

Since we use epic rules, and since the ELH came out after the FRCS, we use the Elminister from the ELH.

I think the nature of these messageboards must also be taken into account. The kids who fill the Enworld messageboards are very independent from WOTC. If you started this same discussion at the official WOTC boards, you would get more responses similar to mine. I think you must also take into...

Since D&D books sell much better than any other roleplaying books, and Forgotten Realms material sells better than any other campaign setting, it is reasonable to deduce that at least a few players, if not many players, feel the same way I do. My gaming group consists of about 10 guys, and all...

The volume of posts, and the discussion contained therein clearly points to the value of archfiends in the BoVD, despite your judgement. Just because you dont like it, doesnt make it so. You will just have to learn to deal with it.

I consider the WOTC material to be far better than 99% percent of the OGL garbage floating around the internet, and being sold at hobby stores, and 99.9% better than any average D&D DM can create. Its irrelevant anyhow. My gaming group wants to play an authentic Forgotten Realms campaign. The...

Considering that this thread is now up to 155 messages, and most of those have been about why WOTC didnt include epic level versions of the archfiends, I think it would definitely have made everyone happy. Its obviously what everyone is concerned about. The official messageboards, while not...

My gaming group has been together for over 14 years now, and we play in the Forgotten Realms. We demand an authentic Forgotten Realms campaign. When we fight Drizzt, we want to fight the official Drizzt, not some 19 year old geek's version. When we travel to Cormyr, we might want to visit...

If WOTC had provided only epic level stats for the archfiends, all the low level players would have complained. Instead, WOTC provided regular stats, and now all the Epic level players are complaining (including me.) WOTC should have provided specific stats for regular versions of the...

Its so hard for you to understand, because you are FLAT-OUT WRONG. We are discussing the BoVD, and what makes it good, and what makes it bad. It is bad that they did not include specific stats for divine versions of the archfiends. WOTC did fail by not making a version of the archfiends...

I feel that NPCs, monsters, and virtually anything else printed by WOTC should not be changed, so the verdict is not unanimous.

Just because a monster is above CR 20 does not make it a challenge for epic level groups. Check out the MM2 and the ELH. Take a CR 28 from the MM2, and run it against an epic level party. Now take a CR28 from the ELH, and run it against an epic level party. Creatures from the MM2 cannot even...

I have started a new thread about whether official NPCs should be modified by a DM. We can discuss that topic there. I simply do not find it relevant for this discussion, and I will no longer discuss it here. If you wish a response from me, you will have to ask for it at the link below, for I...

Should DMs change the stats of official NPCs? Can it ruin continuity of the game, and the trust of the players?

I am not going into why my gaming group only uses official stats for NPCs. That is a topic that belongs in another discussion. I just hope that the BoVD either provides stats for divine versions of these demonlords and archdevils, or it gives very specific details about how to modify these...

Not every demon-lord and arch-devil in the BoVD has a SR equal to his CR + 13. I still need to know Orcus's actual spell resistance. I also have two other questions: 1. What is Orcus's Armor class? 2. What is Orcus's Hit points? I am confused about how specific the BoVD is when it comes to...

This thread has become tragically irrelevant. People are posting all kinds of BoVD information, including stats, at the following link: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26952 Hopefully someone over there will be kind enough to tell me what Orcus's spell resistance is.

Nice review... So what is Orcus's spell resistance? I have been trying to get someone to answer this question for 3 days now!
