Why fight the Demon? BE the Demon!

"Devils Player Guide" by Various. Printed and Distributed by Fast Forward Entertainment. ISBN-10: 1-932201-30-0 -- Softcover -- 128 Pages. Now you have an extra race to add to their 'Green Races' characters, this time providing huge details for Devils. The final volume for their "Green Races" line-up, and, as far as I know the last book ever produced, this one deserves a question - and the answer! Tired of fighting Demons? BE a Demon!!! Starting with the usual credits, Table of Contents, and introduction, this book adds Devils (and, by association, Daemons and Demons) to the type of races you can play with the "Green Races" Core Rulebook! A short section about Devilish Campaigns leads off, and discusses the benefits (and obvious disadvantages) to running what should be seen by most as an evil oriented campaign. Ways to run those campaigns, including Motivations, Evil Versus Evil, and Hunting - both hunting by them and hunting for them. Or are you helping them by doing some hunting for them such as for a special potion or magical item? Using Devils in campaigns is much more useful. as it describes how to use the creatures in this book as NPCs. There's a nice section on PCs becoming Devils and the influences of "The Seven Deadly Sins" (Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth, and Wrath). Which of the Seven Deadly Sins are -you- working for? Then come the various races of Devils - Barbazu, Botis, Cornugon, Erinyes, Flauros, Gelugon, Hamatula, Imps, Kyton, Osyluth, Pit Fiends, and Shabriri. That's twelve types of creatures to add! There are a few templates, too - including the Chosen of Hell, Devilish Servant, Half-Devil, the Reborn, and those Touched by the Hells. But the best part is the Devilish Classes. What? You thought all Devils were the same? You thought wrong! Mages, Bards, Druids, Fighters, Monks, Rogues, Warders, Warriors, Knights of the Hells, and Priests of the Pits are just a large part of the classes available. Then there are Prestige Classes - Servants, Foot Soldiers, Infernal Generals, Infernal Lieutenants, Infernal Lords, Mortal Spokesperson, and Soul Corruptors. With another section of Devils as 'normal' classes! There's a great list of devilish feats, and even more devilish spells! Devilish Magical Items including both normal and those that are cursed! Or all they all cursed? Finally, an eight page starting adventure with two maps! This book could be used both ways, making it one of the more unusual books of this type. Do you really want to run Devils - or let ordinary PCs chase them to their home and their home plane, where they can not only be fought, they can be destroyed! Don't forget two things if you do this: 1 - On their home plane, they should be much stronger! 2 - More importantly, they can call for help easier! At the back is the usual OGL and two advertisements. These Fast Forward Entertainment books rarely disappoint me. As a companion to my favorite "Green Races" book, this one can't be beat! Highly Recommended!
