Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kyrail" data-source="post: 3776492" data-attributes="member: 19494">I'm mostly looking for Forgotten Realms info, but anything that has been confirmed  or is often considered standard practice for any D&D setting is helpful.  I imagine Planescape has some info on this that would be useful!In Forgotten Realms deities can die, and do... regularly. So it reasons that outsiders can dies as well.  But then again death is a complicated thing for deities and not quite the same as mortals... it's more like their power disperses or is taken by another deity.  Hence why so many deities have came back after death.  Outsiders, being similar to deities in many ways, it makes me wonder how they die. So what happens to a fiend or celestial that dies on the Prime Material Plane?  It seems canon that summoned creatures do not die.  There for a demon summoned by a cleric will only be sent back to the Abyss to await his return.  Are they fully healed at that point?  There have been canon sources that have different assertions to what happens then.  Are they banished for 101 years like some of the books?  Under what conditions can they return?  Does this only apply to stronger demons?  Is this only applicable for demons that were not summoned?Now its my assumption that gate is not a summon, simply a portal into a plane.  Therefore they are no longer summoned creatures, just non-native outsiders.  Planeshift as well. What happens to a non summoned demon outside their home plane?  Do they die forever?  Do they become a larvae?  Do they rejoin the Abyssal energy?  Are they simply banished for 101 years?  Are they sent back to the Abyss with no restrictions?Lastly what stops demons from simply portalling into Fareun at will?  They have the spells.  It seems often assumed that mortals have to gate or summon them in, which means there is some kind of restriction on these outsiders to enter the prime material.  That makes sense or you would see a lot more demons running around the Prime.  If there are restrictions do they apply to all outsiders?Thanks for your help!</blockquote>
