But I think that becomes necessary to an extent, because these things have shifted. For example, people say that Demon Lords and Archdevils don’t have clerics, but they have had clerics in the past. But then people say that those clerics have always lacked the power of clerics of gods, but in 3.5 that certainly wasn’t the case.So, by showing how things have shifted and changed, and how assumptions that we tend to make about the differences between God/Demon Lord/Archdevil aren’t as concrete as some think, I’m hoping to really drill down into what the true value of the distinctions are. I’m not trying to ask “why does Bane exist” but more “Why does it matter that Bane is a God instead of being an Archdevil?”And thank you for the information, as it seems to support the idea that the main difference that has been brought up (clerics and power) are not grounded in iron-clad rules in previous editions. This has always been something shifting and murky.</blockquote>
