I am not even sure what type of sensitivity reader can be used on a book full of devils and archfiends. Avoiding topics that can make people feel uncomfortable can result in a weaker product and weaker experience all in the name of protecting a theoretical person that would be hurt by something.The really egregious recent examples seem to lack common sense and should not have been done in that form.I think RPG budgets are much better spent on development (not the same as writing) and editing. A good art and cartography budget also can pay dividends in the quality of the product.As a major publishing house and being a standard bearer for the industry and the many examples of them lacking common sense, sure WoTC should probably have a pass by an editor specializing in sensitivity. I would not that it is a very common review comment about how bland their products are.The book here begs questions in the nature of evil and how it prospers. That means you need to discuss the temptations and the actions and the results. Too much watering down and you just get boring stat blocks.</blockquote>
