Hey Axolotl dude!

Well, Spawnstone is a WotC invention.
What about the striped Brood?
I'll think about it. Probably more of a template.
I thought that they were the leaders of the Daemons as opposed to Pariahs in daemonic society.
There would be a difference between successful and failed baeroloths. There may have been other horsemen before the ones we know.

Also will the other two show up?
Cicatrix is an altroloth, I just didn't use that name in his description.

I don't see how it's that different to the angels and it's a pity to have the bad guys (the ones the players are more likely to fight) less detailed than the good guys.
Don't worry, I'll have evil dimensional beings done as well.
I still have the Elementars (Evil), Intelligibles (Neutral; good tendencies), Inevitables (Lawful), Pseudonaturals (Chaotic) and Umbrals (Neutral; evil tendencies) to detail. So don't think that "Good" is getting better treatment.
Technically I should have had the Elementars in Bestiary #1 but I wasn't happy with my ideas for them at that stage so they got pushed back.

Most of the 'known' interesting demons (and devils) have been detailed by WotC over the past few years, and even though I would do things somewhat differently in terms of power. I don't think there is enough impetus for me to do my own versions in one of my books.
Added to which certain individuals are unique to D&D (Graz'zt, Zuggtmoy, Lolth, Fraz-Urb'luu etc.) so I couldn't publish versions of them, while others (Orcus, Demogorgon, Pazuzu, Asmodeus) are so iconic and established that, even though I could publish my own versions, they would have to be so different that they would be unfamiliar. Thats not something I want to do.
I like Demogorgon to have two baboon heads, tentacles and so forth. If I do a version like that in my books then I am infringing on their product identity.

Pity
I think individuals probably get used less than generic creatures, so while I might include a few its not something I want to have a lot of (although there are plenty of individuals in Gods & Monsters).
Axolotl said:
Good.Woudn't that make both lady of pain and sandalphon Elder Ones?
Technically yes, but to avoid being imprisoned they needed to be 'only' greater powers.
Axolotl said:
Will these be changed in the print version?
No. You can list aspects of portfolios as the portfolios. There is no demon of 'love' but there are demons of lust for instance.

I was meaning a version of the advanced dragon template (ELH) for adamic and nehasmic dragons. As standard a construct goes up 26 hp per CR they go up. The neutronium golem goes up 4,000 hp. A vampire would go up 13 hp, Alabaster goes up 200.
The higher in CR you go the less individual hit points mean in terms of CR.
I'll think about whether or not to add advancement rules to the other dragon stages, although personally I don't really think its warranted (Epic Dragons too weak? Then just use Adamic dragons etc.) also I pretty much set the dragon stages out in black and white - it should be child's play for anyone to advance them further.
