[QUOTE="getgoldcardsoul, post: 3742864, member: 54393"] I always thought of Erinyes more like dominatrices (Lawful subtype as well as their Animate Rope type ability), seducing and then forcing men to do their will, while succubi are just out to destroy for the thrill. I figured those are different enough! ...but I guess this is a case of fluff being ignored for monsters having only one specific purpose: being killed within 5 rounds. :( Oh well. [i]Conceptually[/i] I always liked flavor, but I could always come up with that myself. When reading fluff in books, it takes me a [i]looong[/i] time to get through... unless its exceptional. For instance, the "Races of..." series, though somewhat insightful, took me a while to read; I guess it just wasn't interesting [i]enough[/i] for me. Now take old 2e Planescape fluff and I gulp it down like I was in a desert without water for a day! It might be because the few books I've read were more narrative in Planescape. Whatever.
