He'd actually been drifting towards invoker for a while (eg with his paragon path) and the idea of rebuilding the PC as an invoker had been canvassed before. The conference of the gods to oversea his resurrection was my idea, but I don't think it caught any of the players especially by surprise - it fitted pretty naturally with what had come before.The imp I'm not sure about yet. There will be some comic relief, but I don't think it will be limited to that.Between 3rd and 11th level there was a regular imp in the service of Levistus that was a recurring NPC. And some tiefling NPCs serving Levistus also played a significant role at one point (these were the tieflings from Thunderspire Labyrinth's Well of Demons, if you know it). My use of Levistus is infuenced by the discussion in Worlds and Monsters. The idea I'm running with is that Levistus is allied with Bane, and both are concerned that Asmodeus's obsession with the Abyss runs the risk of releasing chaos onto the world, rather than keeping it in check.This fits into the PCs through two main vectors: the wizard-turned-invoker PC is on a holy mission from Erathis to recover the Sceptre of Erathis (= Rod of 7 Parts - to date he has 3 parts) and restore Nerath (and order and civilisation more generally); and there is a drow chaos sorcerer Demonskin Adept who has symbols of the Queen of Chaos emblazoned on his demonskins, his face and the inside of his eyelids.The NPC imp and tiefling came close to tempting the drow into a flirtation with diabolic power to try and take better control of the chaos, but the then wizard opposed them, on general moral grounds. But now he has a watcher - and (as another part of his ressurection deal) is even going to erect an altar to Bane - just at the same time that the drow is becoming less interested in controlling the chaos, and more interested in embracing it.So I'm expecting to be able to do serious as well as comic stuff with the imp, even though I"m not sure yet what that will be.</blockquote>
