That's how I did it.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04897378450365313127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-45883134794692360112023-09-16T22:45:22.432-05:002023-09-16T22:45:22.432-05:00I had a blast playing it.

The creature is not suggested for PC usage (as, say, compared to the Mystic in the Master set). If you just want to hold it up as an example of “monsters with class/levels” there are already plenty of those in earlier books...from the Shades and Cambions of the MM2 all the way back to the Drow (prior to their being allowed as a PC race in UA). <br /><br />Diaboli appear nothing more than an alternative to the devil race of AD&D. Grognardy complaints about tieflings are a bit more than than just it being a “monster race.”JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-49377830847617733662020-06-30T16:11:42.130-05:002020-06-30T16:11:42.130-05:00yeah, it seemed to me the authors of the 2 other i...yeah, it seemed to me the authors of the 2 other immortal modules just didn't grok what immortals were or what the immortal game was about. Granted, I've never had a character reach immortality, we just did a couple of one shots. The later Mystara products seemed to try to do something with the idea of the immortals, but didn't grasp some of the concepts in the core rules, and so treated them like super-powered D&D characters. I'm really curious where the game might have gone if Frank was still in charge.Lance Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817319325489613672noreply@blogger.com
