If Elminster travels to Oerth does he lose levels? Is a Balor on Mystara any different from a Balor on Eberron? No.There is no reason why Demogorgon should have different stats depending on which campaign setting he features in anymore than any NPC or Monster should have different stats.Of course it makes sense. Does it say on the Fiendish Codex "Greyhawk only"? "Forgotten Realms only"? "Eberron only"? No, it doesn't, because it makes no sense to have different stats for these beings tailored for each campaign setting. Yes there is. Just like in the Monsters of Faerun, or Eberron or whatever other book. They don't redo the Monster Manual monsters with different stats because it would be a waste of time. There is one incarnation of the Balor, one incarnation of Red Dragon, one of Dire Wolf. You are putting the cart before the horse.Added to which there is nothing in the various Setting books which state PCs (which is exactly who you are addressing when you say 'need' and 'require') should have more levels or less levels than the core rulebooks. You could just as easily have a 50th-level PC born on Oerth as you could Toril.It takes Shemeska a millisecond to ignore demon prince stats, which is a heck of a lot less than it takes the rest of us who want them to conjure the stats up. Multiply that amount of time by the number of gamers who want them and its a heck of a lot of 'man hours*'*...and thats not some sort of Deuce Bigalow reference. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
