Damage Reduction for Fiends

[Ridley's Cohort]

A holy weapon will neer cause actual loss of levels, it would just put the demon at -1 to hit, saves, and skill checks. Not really that big of a deal when you compare the to hit bonuses against the ACs. Mechanics-wise there's very little reason for a combatant in the blood war not to have a good weapon.

I am just imagining a "heroic" demon who lays his hands on an intelligent Good weapon. He earns renown for his deeds on the battlefield but must suffer the taint of whispered benevolent thoughts...

Inserting off-topic quip here: it's Inu Yasha! Seriously, what else would a demon use to kill a demon? A holy sword!

Or he could try for a special demon-killing sword instead.

I like the idea of a "demonbane" or "devilbane" sword that bypasses any DR on the appropriate type of fiend, but no other...
