[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 7119130, member: 6787650"] Why would they hate that? Would you rather be: (1) Tormented for eternity by Asmodeus and his cronies? Or (2) In heaven studying music, painting, and doing whatever else people in heaven do? I could [I]maybe[/I] buy it if the threat was "tormented by Tanar'ri for eternity", since those guys are just as cruel as Baatezu but they hate you even more. I could also buy a hierarchy-inversion scenario ("Asmodeus has a weapon that turns all lemures into Pit Fiends and all Pit Fiends into lemures", etc.). I don't think threatening bad guys with rule by kindness, goodness, and compassion works as a doomsday threat, though, compared to the other two scenarios. From a gameplay perspective, I think the most interesting doomsday weapon would be one which introduces a new faction. "Asmodeus has a doomsday weapon which releases the Valheru from their eternal imprisonment in Tartarus" is like "ruled by Tanar'ri", only scarier, because the Tanar'ri are the devil (demon) you know and the Valheru are not, except maybe for some ancient legends.
