If you killed one, it would probably pucker the sphincter of every Rakshasa, because now they realize that their masters, and thus they, are not immortal. And all of their enemies will realize this. However.The article on the Lords of Dust (Dragon 337) implied several things. 1) Killing a Rakshasa is a lot like killing an Elemental. The elemental dies, but the energy stays the same - so a new elemental, with roughly the same memories, respawns x time later. 2) The Rajahs that were statted up were a lot like Demon Princes or Archdevils; they had their niche. You had the Rajah of undeath, the Rajah of secret knowledge and corruption, the Rajah of betrayal, the Rajah of war and savagry. So how would I handle this? Imagine the Rajah as a glacier. All that water, frozen, hidden away. It's not in the water cycle. But if you uncover it, break it up, let it melt, it suddenly enters the ocean, the atmosphere. There's "more water" out there free. Meaning, that all that untapped, raw Power that the Rajah have is dormant, contained in their prison. Kill one, and it's now loose, and finds new hosts. It infests, empowers, infuses one hundred hosts, who now have power that has not been seen for milenia. Even if it's a Fraction of what the Rajah had, it's nasty. Or a baby Rajah might respawn. It's not got the skill, finesse or experience of the Rajah it once was, but it has potential.</blockquote>
