[QUOTE="VoodooGroves, post: 247639, member: 5520"] Dipped in chocolate...mmmm crunchy monsters. My same point on another board on a side topic applies here.... if you don't like it, don't buy it Frankly, IMO this is fictional info, right? (Unless the folks at WoTC have some sort of real-world diabolical insight and demons affect the real world in exactly the way we'd expect them to in a D20 system....) That said, it may be dark. There may even be some pretty vile mojo described and included. Its all more fodder for the paladins and other heroes to thrash. Frankly, some fiction bores the crap out of me with their "there is no good or evil - only endless shades of grey" or other "monster as victim" mentality. Sure, that's grand if I'm playing Vampire: The Masquerade. But I find there is SPACE for games to have things which are measurably and without argument evil. From what I can tell, the BoVD simply will go into a bit more background about the things that fall into these categories. I guess we can all dream our cleric of Rao will tame all the hosts of Baatezu into becoming redeemed do-gooders. Then again, is it so horrible to have a recognizable foe every once in a while?
