[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 5190776, member: 54846"] Actually no. That was one of the big splits between Devils and Demons for 4e. Demons are destruction, Devils are slow corruption. I.e. Devils are intelligent, are subtle, and have a plan, demons are fairly straightforward and blunt. Devils are all about nabbing souls, and the best way to get souls is through temptation. Getting them to sign the contract, so to speak. I mean, the Top Devil, Asmodeus, is a God of Tyranny and Domination. Let's see what it says about him in the DMG: From reading this, it gives me the impression more than just mustache twirling evil cultists would follow Asmodeus. Dictators, politicians, and anyone seeking political power at all costs. Those who venerate Asmodeus the most could even be rewarded with the service of a Devil as a general or elite force to complete some task! Remember, they don't have to be offering gold or magic or sex. Devils might be saying "Do this for me, and I shall give you the power of hell to smite your foes." "I can give you great strength and prowess - IF YOU DO THIS." They could even do something as simple as "I can give you the means to take vengeance". Even though the succubus may be the only one wtih the combat power to change shape, remember that you, the DM, can give any devil the ability to take shape. However the shape the devil can take is limited. Maybe it looks deformed, maybe it has cloven hooves or smells of sulfur, thus anyone who is clever enough or insightful enough may get the notion that Something Is Up. Since Succubi have no such telltale signs, they are the best at infiltration. [/QUOTE]
