Not against the demons, daemons, and devils, but rather against the countless number of mortal Blood War mercenaries working for one side or another.I find it interesting to think that "WMDs" for things like the Blood War aren't even things on the Wish scale of power.. they're rather more like epic spells which convert Baatezu to Tanar'ri and use the magical energy given off during the transformation to further feed the spell the energy it needs to keep going. Things that don't just blow an area apart... they can actually change force levels in an infinite area. "Blow it up" tactics don't work when you've got 5 INFINITE planes to fight over; destroying an area often has little strategic use except in 'small unit' skirmishes or when it takes down a main means of the enemy's production. Biological weapons and other weapons which 'feed' on the environment they're given to create more of the weapon are ideal, as they can actually effect changes in large quantities of infinite forces. That said, a nuke, in the Blood War would be treated as standard artillery. The Grey Waste already creates that sickening effect that is noted with nukes. Likewise, expect the siege engines to be BIG.I also think they'd be rather common. Obviously there a still a lot of Baatezu and Tanar'ri running around with just their 'native' weapons, but technological advances would certainly be taken up by the two groups.</blockquote>
