As is clear from the story, the demons and devils are fallen celestials. Now, that means they are billions of years old (how old is your world BTW?) and I would be interested in knowing whether all demons and devils are this old. Do they all originate from the fall, or are new demons and devils (or celestials for that matter) being created/born/whatever even after the fall? In the 'standard' D&D cosmology, I recall that souls could be transformed into demons and devils from larvae... is it the same in your world?Also, if all demons and devils originate from before the fall billions of years ago it implies two things:1) Their numbers must be significantly lower now - after all they have been waging war for a very long time. Naturally, if their numbers were infinite than this is not too much of an issue.2) Well, after billions of years, even the lowliest demons and devils that survived would acquire so much 'experience' that they would be utterly undefeatable by mortals. So, I suspect, that in your world demons and devils cannot advance (either by HD, or by type of demon, or by class/level) - they remain at the same power they were created at to begin with. But then again, I remember that Neahel advanced as a contemplative and if demons and devils could not advance, it would take away their ambition... How do you resolve these? I suppose you could just leave them unexplained, but judging from your other explanations, I think you would not be satisfied with doing so, so I am guessing you have it covered somehow.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Thanks!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
