[QUOTE="cptg1481, post: 459231, member: 5360"] [b]The Evil That Men Do...[/b] AEG's "Evil" D20 source for about $20.00 describes in detail how to effectively roll play demons and devils. I think one line reads for Demons, remember the last time you were really mad about something or someone, imagine that you've never felt any other way and that you have been living in a world where everyone around you feels the same way towards you and each other. Now imagine that you have felt that way for an eternity, 10,000 years or more and the person who caused your anger or feeling of hate has summoned you and trapped you in a circle and is making demands. Just role play it like that....for demons. Devils, well imagine him as the most selfish and greedy lawyer you have seen or read about and multiply that by his "godlike" intelligence. Trip up the PC's in fine print and political double speak, use words that may have multiple meanings out of context to trip them up. Draft long doucuments in foreign tounges and requirte the players to depend on an NPC (the devils minion in disguise) for a translation. Manipulation is the key thing with devils...that and remember that the devil is not bound by the spirit of the agreement but rather by the letter. Remember in that movie with Sly Stalone (can't remember the name, it was a bad movie too) and Wessly Snipes where Snipes character has one of his minions shoot teh guy he made a deal with becasue he only said that "he" wouldn't kill the guy. LIke that. These are great opportunities for DM fun. While one should always try to be fair as a DM playing demons and devils gives you the opportunity to not be. BTW...AEG's EVIL is a must have source well worth the cash for GMs and players of evil characters. Edited for Deamons...duh Demons.... [/QUOTE]
