[QUOTE="Knight Otu, post: 3793953, member: 192"] To me, it sounds like exactly what it says - 4E Demons are spirits of destruction, 4E devils are spirits of corruption. The methods of specific demons aren't described, just general terms. >They don't negotiate, sure, but can you talk a demon into helping you destroying something else? It sounds possible, for the right price, but you'll watch your back regardless. >They have little desire to organize, but "unspeakable yearnings" or the whipping of more powerful demons can make them work together. Even if you're a balor, you're much better at bringing that distant dwarven kingdom down if you got help. >They thrive on destruction, and slow destruction still is destruction. The intelligent demons should recognize and appreciate that. They thrive on destruction, and destruction that they only remotely helped with is still destruction, and most demons recognize that ("more destruction by affiliation." >They don't build anything lasting. So that tower they are building on the edge of the abyss? Be afraid of what it will do when it is completed, [I]especially[/I] since it isn't meant to last. >Sophisticated plans are nice and well, but no smart demon will depend on them alone. As spirits of destruction, they'll realize that even immaterial things like plans can be destroyed. But as long as the plan results in more destruction that it could have wreaked alone, they won't complain as much. They just received new targets for destruction, after all, namely these plan-destroying people. [/QUOTE]
