[QUOTE="Andor, post: 4963721, member: 1879"] In a lot of worlds there are reasons that are not really visible from a PC standpoint. Afterall a wizard can just open a gate and walk into hell, but it doesn't necessarily follow that a demon can just open a gate and walk into the prime. For example, there might be a Good/Evil zero sum rule. So every demon that enters the world allows an angel to enter to balance him. Which btw explains why the forces of good are so reluctant to intervene directly, they don't want to allow a corosponding number of demons to intervene elsewhere. Or more interestingly it might be sort of the opposite of the planescape assumption. That is to say the prescence of supernatural evil in the mortal world might balance out by moving the [i]whole mortal plane[/i] that much closer to goodness. Or it can be something subtler. For example turn the normal assumption on it's head, what if demons are immortal in Hell, but can be killed for good in the mortal worlds? That's a pretty good incentive to stay away. [/QUOTE]
