[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 7119550, member: 6786252"] Even if the rest of the archprinces can gang up on Asmodeus, they probably won't succeed. Sure, bounded accuracy gives them a shot in a one-on-one fight, but don't forget a few of the King of Devil's tricks. ~ his blood being spilled spawns pit fiends. Renewable, high level mooks that can fight back and hurt the dukes of hell just as much as the princes and princesses of hell are hurting him. ~ The Ruby Rod has a reset button that can fully heal Asmodeus as well as channel some very powerful effects. The Ruby Rod is quite possibly one of the most powerful artifacts in all creation. ~ Getting to Asmodeus requires navigating one of the trickiest layers of Hell beset by resource-draining high level devils. ~ Killing Asmodeus would cause chaos in the multiverse - for as much as he's a god of evil, he's also keeping the devils focused on fighting the Abyss, he keeps the war generally from spilling over to non-evil planes, he's the original signer of the Pact Primeval, which can cause lots of issues if that gets null and void. So, while most goodly gods won't -like- him, he serves to weaken the other forces of evil. This gives Asmodeus allies that no archdevil could really tap into. That's on top of getting the archdukes of hell united. Good luck with that! He's still a god in Forgotten Realms. Not as strong as he was in 4e, but still there and going strong in 5e FR. Outside of FR? Saaa... no mention one way or another, which can mean anything. [/QUOTE]
