[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 1888476, member: 2209"] I use monsters from a lot of sources and there are plenty of contradictory legends and theories about them in game. I stick with pretty standard alignment/plane splits with many outsiders being basically alignment elementals. However they can rebel and change. There is a Hezrou who turned lawful neutral who became a party ally, and there are plenty of corrupted angels and celestials. Note the Hezrou still is composed of elemental evil and detects accordingly, just over the course of millenia he drifted his alignment to law and was aided in that by being separated from the abyss and lower planes for thousands of years. It was pretty funny when the party later came across a more standard hezrou and were intensely shocked at the violent random evil death and destruction he inflicted. There is no division between gods and demon lords IMC except on an individual personal power scale, any of them can be worshipped by clerics and have spellcasting cults. The rumors that fiend lords must pact with evil gods to sponsor spellcasting cults is false god propaganda designed to draw power hungry followers to the "true" source of power. In truth neither are necessary for tapping divine power IMC, although their followers and established religions believe they are. Fiendish politics has become a bigger and bigger theme in our campaign as the party gets more powerful and continues to hunt down supernatural evil. Currently they are dealing with an unsealed demon cult, but there are diabolic machinations on the horizons that will eventually take center stage. [/QUOTE]
