Hordes of the Abyss: Q&A

[Land Outcast]

[Alzrius]Plus, the fact that he sends little shreds of himself, tiny living flames, along with his favored servants into battle, immolating them eventually in the midst of battle when they light themselves on fire and run screaming into their foes... that's just cool.

Those are the things that hold me from throwing a tantrum because of not having access to delicious articles I read about here...

Shemeska, just a question: where -precisely- do you get that kind of stuff? (beware, my questions might sound dumb, it's too advanced in the night here...)

Don't worry Land, The King of the Crossroads rarely holds ignorance against someone. After all, information is made to be exchanged.

I never would want to contradict the sage Iquander. So I'll just post a quote from the Gord the Rogue series. I don't know where those books fall in the canon.


So I'm guessing Melf is his chosen name and Prince Brightflame (something) is his given true name kept in secret. Of course, it's possible he is lying here too.
(You've got me reading quite a bit on Greyhawk now I'm running the AoW)

Right you are. I simply meant that Melf is the name he goes by, and "Archosian" was meant to be a different person.

Good catch.

I hope so, the klurichir would suck if they downgraded it though. It'll lose its flavor as the "demon that even gives balors nightmares."

Just give them this ability:

Abyssal Judge (Su): Klurichir are protected by an effect similar to sanctuary that only works against Tanar'ri. In addition, the Klurichir has a gaze attack that stuns and paralyzes Tanar'ri. Both effects can be resisted with a will save, the DC is Charisma based. Other Klurichirs are immune to this ability.​

With that, and a good boost to Charisma, the Klurichir can give even Balors a nightmare. They can't attack it, and are rendered vulnerable to devastating coups de grâce from the Klurichir.

... manitou loumara...

Beware! They truly are dangerous.


Oops, it seems I misread.

(Half)-Fiendish Variety web enhancement is up. No cambions or alu-fiends yet, but it only says "part one".

Quoted from the article:

"You should not choose a demon lord or devil prince, but an aspect of one is fair game. Rulers of the Lower Planes have better things to do than go around mating with lesser creatures."

That's odd. Someone should remind Graz'zt of that.

Or Malcanthet, for that matter, or Kostchtchie, or Demogorgon, or Baphomet, or most of the others. Except maybe Juiblex. He's too ugly to get a date.

ROFML!!!

*sigh*... can't... breath... laughing... so... hard... *Deep Breath*

Someone should remind Graz'zt of that.

Except seemingly in the Japanese animated Abyss.

Just because Shemeska surely didn't see the other...

A bit of that is from Alzrius' description in Hellbound: The Blood War (page 25 of 'The Dark of the War'), and in the Planewalker.com project that's been detailing Ortho, the Harmonium's homeworld on the Prime Material (which early in its history suffered a spillover from the Abyss). The Ortho Project can be found here.

Enjoy!
