Killing an immortal on any plane but its home plane would banish him to his home plane for a prolonged period of time. Killing an immortal in its primary manifestation form on its homeplane would kill the immortal.The rules also stated that no immortal with any brains at all would let it come to that, and teleport away from the ones trying to kill him (staying at its homeplane only if it was bound there at that moment) to prevent this.With AD&D and the introduction of Deities in place of Immortals, I guess this rule kind of lingered on for the demi-gods and extraplanar beings.Herzog</blockquote>
