Message: <blockquote data-quote="lukelightning" data-source="post: 2880127" data-attributes="member: 9745">My campaign is simple (I run an Arcana Unearthed/Evolved game, set in the Diamond Throne).  For one thing, there are no gods. Most people think that either gods don't exist (they are just myths), or are just powerful beings (or powerful mythical beings... perhaps a powerful spellcaster from ages past that became legendary and the story grew).There are powerful beings called "gods" by their worshippers, but they are no different from demon or devil lords in nature (or from celestial beings of similar status).  They don't have the power to grant spells like in regular D&D but sometimes have the ability to grant special powers to individuals, and certainly can teach magic to their worshippers.These beings can range in CR from mid to high level; the important factor is that there are no "generic" outsiders in my game.  An ice devil is a powerful individual that could certainly be considered a "devil lord" according to mortal views; it wouldn't be some random ice devil but Chirikan Agath, Lord of the Frozen Pit, with the stats of a standard ice demon but with some customization, and it may have some cult of worshippers or servants.My cosmology is less defined than in standard D&D; there is no specific "devil plane" etc. and planar travel is incredibly difficult (partly because I want the cosmology to be a mystery, but mostly because I'm not going to bother defining it until it actually becomes a factor to the players).  Nor is there an alignment mechanic in AE, though demons/devils/fiends/whatever are certainly evil by any sane standard (i.e. they delight in causing pain and killing, seek to dominate and manipulate others, etc.)</blockquote>
