[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 473454, member: 2209"] One view you can take is that outsiders are just like elementals except for alignment instead of natural elements. So devils are PURE ELEMENTAL LAWFUL EVIL incarnate and demons are PURE ELEMENTAL CHAOTIC EVIL incarnate. Then just take your spin on the alignments and run with it for interactions. Perhaps devils make pacts to cause evil and are strictly bound to the letter of those deals but twist them through loopholes and interpretations of ambiguous phrases. Or they could be completely reliable and if you are willing to pay their evil price you get what you bargained for. Another way to think of devils is as big time liars who work to get people to do things to meet grand long term bizantine goals, but that their essence is tempting and deception. Perhaps demons occasionally make pacts and bargains but actually are not bound by them and sometimes betray their partners just to inflict misery upon them, other times they follow through on the pacts just because it would be fun to cause some havok. Perhaps their reactions are determined randomly so dealing with them is a gamble that can pay off in big dark power or go horribly wrong for no good reason. [/QUOTE]
