[QUOTE="Jeremy, post: 522930, member: 4036"] I think that recognizing its better to hit them at a distance is the mark of a rational predator. 1 INT isn't even enough for predatory behavior, much less rational behavior. And I can't bring myself to believe that a 7th level spell takes no intelligence to employ. Be it 1/day or at will, it's still some mighty powerful magicks to be able to traverse any where on the plane in the blink of an eye. If a 10 INT old man can forget he has better ways to do things, than a 1 INT balor demon doesn't even know he can teleport away much less remember to do so. Think of it as alzheimers to the point the person is a drooling baby. Sure, opening a door is something that comes natural as breathing to him, but he can't seem to remember to do it, or how. Much less how to transport himself instantly through the astral plane. :) I don't think the balor can teleport, use his firestorm, use implosion, or do any other act of will power and concentration that summons magical energy. I think those require rational thought to employ, concentrated thought at that. And thought is the power feeblemind removes from him. [/QUOTE]
