[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8294825, member: 6801845"] For me it's useful to have a difference. All fiends are evil incarnate (except for that one in a gazillion exception), but if you want it you can make them feel very different. Now, I agree someone new to the game isn't going to know the difference. A person new to the game doesn't know the difference between a dragon and a purple worm. Heck, quite a few groups probably run them pretty much the same, as brutes that show up and engage in melee with no distinguishing tactics other than different attacks. But for the DM that cares they can have similarities and vast differences. Either approach is perfectly fine. But I like the idea that demons are just about destruction and tearing down anything orderly while devils want to subvert and revel in that moment when their victim realizes that they missed the fine print. Both can just be extraplanar enemies that want to kill you or corrupt your soul. But with the split? Demon's preference is to just tear you apart and enjoy being covered in blood, Devils will do it wearing a tux while speaking with sophistication. Kind of like the chainsaw killer Leatherface and Hannibal Lecter. [/QUOTE]
