Message: <blockquote data-quote="Schmoe" data-source="post: 2900034" data-attributes="member: 913">I really like the idea of coupling the demon lords with a rejuvenation ability.  Imagine for a moment that a Demon Lord is not an actual creature, but a physical manifestation of a primal force that has taken over a mortal body and shaped it in its likeness.  When the mortal body is slain, the primal force must seek another body out to take over.  Whether the new physical body is that of the one who killed the first body, or it must be that of a chaotic demon, chosen at random from the Abyss, is something left to DM preference.In a way, this idea makes the Demon Lords more than deities.  They are eternal forces that can never be destroyed.The idea is also very flexible, in that it supports using multiple versions of stats for a single demon lord.  A powerful set of stats could reflect the demon lord having possessed the form of an advanced balor, while a more modest set of stats reflects possession of a dretch or some such.  Heck, there could be multiple incarnations at one time, or just a single incarnation.  Characters could undertake a quest to slay a powerful form in the hopes that it will reincarnate in a less powerful form so that they could imprison it for all time, for surely the powerful form would be held by no prison.You could say that it takes time for a demon lord to re-form after being slain, which holds closer to traditional lore, or the reformation could be nearly immediate.It seems to me like there are a lot of very cool ideas that use demon lords with the stats as written in the FC.</blockquote>
