[QUOTE="Envisioner, post: 8006156, member: 6749263"] That's probably the one I was talking about. Doesn't change the fact that she's a dumb idea that basically amounts to fanfiction written by a person hired by the company that bought the IP. Had I been the owner of Wotco, such dreck would never have seen print. You can do plenty of similar concepts, but that was going too damn far. Most of the lore I'm familiar with says nothing about this. I have heard it before, but never as anything more than an unsubstantiated rumor. It's also not that relevant to my point, since the Law/Chaos binary is rather different to the Good/Evil one. You will note that they are [I]no longer angels[/I]. In my view, if a demon became Chaotic Good, it would cease being a demon, and become a Celestial akin to the Eladrins (though not actually of that superspecies, just as an angel who falls doesn't become a Baatezu since those are specific types of devils). There's plenty of nuance among the humanoids. The extradimensional manifestations need to be the exact polar opposite. (Dragons are a bit of a special case IMO, given the rather totemic nature of opposition between human thought processes and the "reptile brain", which are reputed to underlie the dragon mythology. Vsauce has a great video on this topic.) [/QUOTE]
