[QUOTE="FourthBear, post: 4010812, member: 55846"] Now that's a question I was asking myself last night. We already know that in 4e, Angels will not have to be Good, since they're making Angels the servants of deities of all moralities. I think the definition of Angel won't be based on morality, but rather on origin and function: Angels are the servants of the Gods, just as devils are fallen angels and demons are corrupted elementals. Each has assumed roles in the game: Angels execute the wishes of the gods, devils scheme to corrupt mortals and escape the Hells, demons lash out destructively against each other and all they reach. The question then becomes, how many exceptions are allowed? We already know that Angels aren't perfectly loyal: the devils prove that. I could imagine a demon of Good alignement: a demon that focuses its destructive impulses against what he sees as the worst of his kind and away from innocents. It would be potentially keeping with the concept of demon (a highly destructive outsider). Would it be appropriate for a campaign? I guess that's for the DM to decide. I could see that some DMs would prefer to keep all demons evil so as to keep an overall theme constant or to allow for some opponents that the PCs can feel free to oppose at all times. [/QUOTE]
