D&D 4E In 4E Asmodeus will be a god!

[Numion]

I think this is great. A god for those who want to worship the real evil, not semi-evil, not quasi-evil, not the margarine of evil, not the diet-coke of evil. "Just one calorie. Not evil enough."

And if it causes public outrage, all the better for D&D.

How appropriate, avatar and all.

1.) As for Asmodeus ascending to the ranks of the deities, I imagine that in some ongoing worlds that started in 1st edition, he may have never left those ranks.


2.) One thing that I have noticed is that there is some talk of alternate sources of power for characters. So, in addition to divine, arcane, and psionic, we may have celestial or infernal power sources. (So, possibly an archdevil may be able to help supply a person with additional power for a price. Hmm, maybe it is time for a few DMs to re-read Faust.)

1.) That is a really good point.

2.) I would totally be into this.

There's nothing wrong with a dark campaign and anti-heroes, but I for one would like to see less evil in the core rules. It sounds to me as if 4e is pushing for more, which I've never seen happen before and strikes me as odd.

I would prefer D&D to be marketable as a family game, and this kind of content will do nothing for it image.

Cheers!

That was an evil comment!

Nonetheless, I fight the good evil fight for Orcus. Even if nobody else is with me!

I don't see that. There were evil deities in the PHB in 3.x. Since they aren't using the Greyhawk deities, they need substitutes.

Where do you get that idea? Just because Asmodeus is a deity in this edition? Every edition has had evil gods. 3E had evil deities in the core rules. I'm not sure where the "pushing for more evil in the core" comes from.

I'm glad that this thread has got to three pages without too much trouble (I've deleted one post and slightly edited one other).

Thanks for being careful to avoid extensive real-world religion discussion... may it continue long and profitably.

Cheers

Tieflings as a core race.

Which, admittingly, has nothing to do with good old Ashi.

Dang .. I was hoping for "..long and profanely."
