They only have 16 pages in Faces of Evil, and a number of those pages are dedicated to locations which would be covered in the locations chapter.40 pages would be tremendous. Demons only get 25 pages in the Demonic Lore chapter, plus 22 pages statting their lords. And that's all the demonic races, not just tanar'ri. If you divide those 47 spaces among tanar'ri, obyriths, and loumaras the count is much tinier. There aren't as many important yugoloth lords, so yes - 40 pages is plenty. It's staggeringly huge.This book, like the FC1, should have no prestige classes. The spells and feats get their own chapter; some of them are yugoloth-themed and some aren't. The spells and feats get their own chapter and aren't part of the 40 page total.Monsters get their own chapter.Look, 160 pages:First 40 pages: The Lower Planes (including descriptions of Khin-Oin, the Walking City, the Tower of Incarnate Pain, and the Tower Arcane), but also detailing the other layers of the Planes of Conflict, also detailing the lands of barghests, gautieres, and gehreleths.Next 29 pages: Yugoloth Lore. This chapter is pure fluff.Next 11 pages: Yugoloth lords. Anthraxus, Mydianchlarus (who is awesome), Bubonix, Charon, Taba, Typhus, Xenghara. That's only half as many as there are detailed demon lords in FC1, so they get half as many pages.Next 16 pages: Night hag lore, including detail on Cegilune and the late Hag Countess of Malbolge. Next 4 pages: FeatsNext 20 pages: Spells and cultsFinal 40 pages: New monsters (including hordlings, gautiere, diakka, updated yugoloths and gehreleths, utukku, avari, guardian yugoloths and yugoloth "imps")That is plenty. 40 pages for just 'loths is probably too much. Remember, the demonic lore chapter in FC1 applied to more than just tanar'ri, so a similar book would have a "fiendish lore" chapter that applied to more than just 'loths. Maybe give some of the extra 'loth pages to barghests or gautiere, or spend them making hordlings more interesting.Edit: Unless the book is written by Shemeska, in which case you need at least 20 pages to detail the Baernaloths of the Demented. That changes the calculus considerably. But otherwise, I am right.</blockquote>
