Message: <blockquote data-quote="kenjib" data-source="post: 412971" data-attributes="member: 530">Please correct me if this is not the crux of your argument.Okay, so far we have an example of Asmodeus' stats.  His intelligence score is 30.  I would hazard to guess that Gra'azt's intelligence is pretty darned high.  Heck, until we see the stats for all we know it could be far higher than both Demogorgon and Orcus (which would easily help to balance him out with them).  A succubus has an intelligence of 16.A succubus has a high intelligence for a human.  Gra'azt has an unfathomably inhuman intelligence and wisdom.  I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that he can reasonably predict the succubus' behavior.  He's going to run mental circles around her and manipulate her into doing what he wants.  Okay, he can't see everyone at once, this is true.  There is still a heirarchy though.  He controls a group of marliths.  The marliths control lesser demons.  There are lesser betrayals but only the high level ones matter, and these ones *are* involving people that he can observe on a direct level.These webs of deception and trickery are all part of a great game.  If Gra'azt gives up and doesn't even play he loses by default.  It's a great puzzle and he has many means of finding the pieces with the vast magical resources at his disposal.  He can then assemble these pieces and fill in missing spots with his vast and incomprehensible (literally) intelligence.  Playing smart does not make him lawful.  He still does what he wants when he wants.  He still manipulates pawns.  His pawns try to do what they want, when they want, but they aren't as good at it so they get used and manipulated.</blockquote>
