It's not so much that re-interpretation that I don't care for, but the total removal of all of the mystery surrounding Asmo. I rather like the idea of his form being a projected avatar of another hidden, massive form. However I didn't care for the whole 2 serpents of law thing which was at odds with previous material, and the whole Ahriman and unbelief thing, that pushed it too out there for my liking.The 3e MotP I think handled this in a fine way, by mentioning that hidden form idea, but not including the Ahriman idea, and making it rumor that could be included or not included at the discretion of the DM. Very well handled in my opinion.</blockquote>
