Killing a Balor by throwing it off a cliff?  Would you then say that you smote its ruin upon the mountainside?

5 lv 20's enter the abyss to conquer an abyssal level, they become corrupted, then turn on each other and the last survivor becomes a Demon Lord. Now that is a Bad Ass one off adventure idea!

I think my favorite part of this podcast is Will's reactions to Brian's crazy analogies.

Everybody forgets the goristro.... poor  goristro...

I just want to take this moment to say that when I said "Demures" I meant to say "Lemures". Sorry folks.

About that possession: Remember what you said about corruption-even if the victim manages to drive the demon out- body and soul- the longer they were possessed the deeper the corruption, The victim is changed permanently

Hey gentlemen, I just have a request for these awesome videos...I was wondering if when you're discussing monsters, demons, characters, etc., if you could either A) show a picture from the monster manual or various other guides, or B) put the name of the monster/demon/character on screen to make it easier for people like me to Google for context. Thank you, fellas! Keep up the good work!!

I love the beginning theme you guys made for this. Hahaha

Damn son, love your content

I feel like the reason (which may appear obvious to some) Demons are so difficult to “handle” or RP as a DM is because they are so completely and utterly unrelateable, not because there aren’t actual people in the world who would fit that alignment, but because there’s no realistically conceivable way a being of such absolute evil and chaos could even function. Even the Joker, who was referred to in this episode as an example of CE, was still “lawful” enough in the mind to make grand plans, organize people to act and work together to an extent, and frankly desired to CONTROL things as a tyrant which is more in long with Devils and LAWFUL evil. Demons on the other hand are so immensely destructive, impulsive, hateful and an absence of redeeming relatable qualities that all they tend to function as in a game is just an adversary, with absolutely no other intent than to watch the world burn (had to say that). By nature they can’t work with anyone out of cooperation, and will only end up working alongside other beings out of fear from more powerful entities who have forced them to do their bidding. That’s virtually all there is to Demons (though that by no means they’re stupid or simple - they just have simple motives but can be fascinating and sophisticated in their own right).

“Vrocks have big ass-claws”, you say? So weird - very appropriate for a demon.

Basically the way I always seen the abyss and baator is it's like there is so much power created that is there forever, and it just keeps respawning them

love the video, but just to rectify: rangers can select fiends as their favourite enemies. Both the revised and the PHB ranger :)

The game seems to be based around resistance. Fiends resist all except radiance, for example.

The way they described the abyss remind me of Huaco Mundo from bleach. 1 percent of hollows that become cannibals that transform, and 1 percent of those transforms and so on as you get millions of lower ones and eventually one super powerful ruler.

Hey guys. Love the show. Wanted to tell you that I think that dndbeyond sounds out the names for you.

No ghost was a great movie  but what got me scared as a little kid and watching at the movie theater those Shadow demons.

Hey Dungeoncast, I know this is like, 5 years later, but you talking about how 5e creatures have "things they aren't resistant to" instead of "weaknesses" got me thinking about an explanation. Could it be that their intention is for these creatures to have double their listed hit points, but it simply didn't work out with the way creature hit points are generated (a combination of size, Constitution score, and the CR system)? So we end up with a Balor that has 262 hit points and resistance to cold, lightning and physical damage from nonmagical weapons, immunity to fire and poison - rather than a Balor with 524 hit points with vulnerability to acid, force, necrotic, psychic, radiant, thunder, physical damage from magical weapons.
