Yeenoghu as a Demigod

Well, who's to say that the Demon should lose its fire resistance. Just give the Demon Prince/Lord Tanar'ri Traits. This is how the Dragon gods were treated. I wouldn't stack it though only because you run into problems down the line with regards to consistency.

What are the Demonic and Bestial domains? And shouldn't he also have the Evil domain?

BTW, even though I haven't got Deities & Demigods or the Book of Vile Darkness, I'd really like to see what Baphtomet looks like!

The Beastial and Demonic Domains appear in BoVD.

According to the BoVD, clerics associated with Yeenoghu cast from the Beastial, Chaos, and Demonic domains. Evil is not listed. I agree, it makes little sense, but I suspect the reason there aren't four is because if one just takes the stats in BoVD and applies a DvR 1 to Yeenoghu or the other chaps in this book, they waste one of their SDAs for that Domain.

You will have to look elsewhere for Baphomet. He is not among the Demon Princes in BoVD (Demogorgon, Graz'zt, Juiblex, Orcus, and Yeenoghu only).

Makes enough sense to me. I might have to pick up both the BoVD and DaD once my monetary situation gets better.
Good of you to stat Yeenoghu... I've always thought that gnolls kick serious butt compared to orcs. There's just something about dog-headed, demon worshipping savages... heck, I'd even like to play a gnoll character!!!
