[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8399950, member: 63508"] Another thing is Endgame. The evil gods, great old one, devils, and demons often are playing for victory conditions. Many Evil gods like Gruumsh, Bane, Lolth etc are usually out to take over a pantheon, steal domains/portfolios, and kill specific entities. They aren't go world destruction per se. The worldjust suffers as an effect of their growing rule and/or the progress to it. Devils are often out to find and exploit a loophole and break some legally. It often depends on why they are devils. Devils might want to get out of a contract or revive a fallen god or terraform Hell or something, Demonic endgame usually come down to converting the world to one where they can do whatever they want and to their liking. This is usually were the world destruction comes in. GOOs typically want something unknown, few understand, or are illogical in the present time. These results in strange actions of minions and fewer allies. For example in most of mysettings,the evil gods are out to be kings of their pantheons and the kings of a Heaven. This conflicts with the devils who wish to turn Hell into a Heaven and force a god to move there. "Well Acksually, We devils were not banished [B]to[/B] the Hells. We were exiled [B]from[/B] specific Heavens. So if we [S]chained up[/S] convinced a diety and [S]made[/S] crowned him or her king of here, we would be in his or her Heaven right?" [/QUOTE]
