[QUOTE="Zigmutt, post: 298798, member: 1629"] Another book you might want to get is "EVIL" I think Mongoose put it out. It is a very detailed, and fun, book on villains and good warriors turned to the other side. There are things like pact with the devil, controlling demons, and more... but there is a large section on what you are asking about- but not daily spells, but more like spell like abilities, and what not. and to answer your question: My take on it is a deity works on worship- A devil does not. So because a deity must gain followers, it rewards those that believe with daily spells. Devils and other powerful beings have their own power, and can dominate or reward as they wish. Because of this, they are more reluctant to grant daily spells, but have to give something for the oyalty of the followers, so grant more along the lines of abilities. kind of a ONE-TIME gift for your services. Whereas a deity has to string you along and make you worship for extended amounts of time. If you stop worshipping, you lose power... [/QUOTE]
