[QUOTE="Endur, post: 2002901, member: 3346"] Well, I didn't mean a horde of Demons that would squash the Keep flat like a bug. I meant how would you, as a prudent 6th level Commander in a fantasy world, deal with the possibility of attack/infiltration by Demonic Forces? i.e. One or more Demons, but not a huge number of demons. My initial thoughts: The Ballistas on the Castle Walls do enough damage to bypass DR. There could be a few silver tipped and cold iron tipped bolts in a store room for emergencies. Unfortunately, an actual attack might be over before any supplies could be pulled out of a store room. Elite warrirors might have (or have access to) silver, cold-iron, and/or minor magical weaponry. Silver and Cold-Iron are also useful against other types of enemies (lycanthropes, fey, etc.). If you have a Paladin, that Paladin might have an Inquisator type position where it is his job to interview/assess visitors and otherwise ferret out evil in the keep. Maybe a high ranking wizard or cleric visits the castle once a year and casts a defensive spell or two. Low level clerics might continually cast Consecrate on the main altar. But, whatever you do, you would want it to be something that requires minimal effort, or has other purporses besides defeating demons, since demons are not a frequent opponent. i.e. the Paladin as an Inquisator could also be used against evil rogues, dopplegangers, and all sorts of other nefarious activities. etc. [/QUOTE]
