[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 3441933, member: 326"] Hey Axolotl dude! :) Well, Spawnstone is a WotC invention. I'll think about it. Probably more of a template. There would be a difference between successful and failed baeroloths. There may have been other horsemen before the ones we know. Cicatrix is an altroloth, I just didn't use that name in his description. 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. 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). Technically yes, but to avoid being imprisoned they needed to be 'only' greater powers. No. You can list aspects of portfolios as the portfolios. There is no demon of 'love' but there are demons of lust for instance. 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. [/QUOTE]
