[QUOTE="Lordnightshade, post: 256730, member: 499"] If you are a player in my game please read no more of this thread: . . . . . . . . . . . . . I understood what you were getting at trimeulose, and I agree, in most cases what you are saying is correct. However, there are some demons in the abyss that are not very strong in combat. The main one I am thinking of is the Succubus, now when you take a succubus who has attained a very powerful status (to the point she is nearly ruling an abyssal layer) you have to think that she got there through cunning and deviousness and not her brute strength. A succubus like this would be so desirable that she would have scores of lesser demons, even Balor’s at her beck and call… Out of these mewling hoards of demons vying for an ounce of her attention she would choose the most intelligent and cooperative among them. These she would keep close to her to protect her from Devil assassins and the rare group of meddlesome adventurers. These Demons would be the elite, and would perhaps act more like Devils in their combat tactics. But trimeulose, you are correct, the average Blood War Demon trooper wants nothing more than to survive at any cost…. Most Demon’s don’t want to fight in that war. They are forced into it by their friendly neighborhood recruitment officer the Molydeus. This is why in the blood war; you have masses of demons who fight with no tactics stalemated with the much fewer in number organized and disciplined devils. [/QUOTE]
