Build Comments: I was going to do a big writeup before I started a demon run for my fantasy setting, but lost my writing mojo for the moment and decided to just start posting the builds. As I stated in an earlier post, there are no devils in the Gloriant setting, all of demons and devils have been combined into one "race" and I'll generally be calling of them demons. Most are inspired by D&D demons/devils, but I plan on working in a few of my own over time.
I had to start out with Vrocks because they hold a special place in my heart. My original DM threw them at us all the time. He LOVED them. Once we got to be about 5th level in 1st edition, we fought Vrocks all the frickin' time. I hated them then, but as I get older and long for the days of my youth, I now look at them fondly. Go fig.
I am trying to stick with a pretty standard format for my demons, keeping the same immunities, senses and such, and just adding their specific powers. I will pump up the higher level demons and demon lords in some areas, but for the most part, their complications will be the same. And demons are the same all over the Thorpocaverse so expect some of these to be used in playtests against the heroes of Earth-217, Earth-PC and others.
