[QUOTE="pdzoch, post: 6876952, member: 80982"] As a fellow catholic, I also do not use any of the demons and devils in the game. I was really disappointed in 4e over representation of the devils and demons on their Monster Manuals (Something I am sure they would not have done in the 80's -- just gives me flashbacks thinking about it). However, I understood WOTC take on the monsters as the ultimate evil for heroes to defeat. While I knew their value to many other game settings, moving them to the forefront in 4e seemed to miss out on the other iconic evil creatures in D&D. The Slaads for example, who are my stand-ins for demons/devils. Demons and devils tend to touch on a larger world that is moving afoot to destroy mankind, so their appearance suggests something far beyond normal hero capabilities -- perhaps my view of them is also influenced akin to Chethrok. However, their use in the game seemed fine in connection with a wizard gone bad or a spell gone wrong (for some reason, Robert Asprin's [I]Myth Adventures [/I] comes to mind), but i feel other creatures work just as well -- golems, imps, the dreaded owlbear, any elemental creature or aberration.
