WHat's that template for 'this article is written as if fiction is fact'?

I think we need a bit more in here about the real life social ramifications of devils being mentioned in D&D fueling the fundies attacks on RPGs, the lame renaming to 'baatezu' to avoid this (yeah right) and so on, and a little less crap ripped right out of the non-open-game-content parts of copyrighted books.

Work

[edit]

This article needs some work. Once I am done with my White Dwarf sourcing, I want to come back to this article and the demons one. Here is a source I will be adding, < ref>Green, Scott; Peterson, Clark (2002). Tome of Horrors. Necromancer Games. p. 328. ISBN 1-58846-112-2.</ ref> Web Warlock (talk) 15:46, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discrepancies

[edit]

Imps and Chain Devils are within the chain of promotions (Detailed in the Fiendish Codex II) a devil can ascend through. How can a Lemure be a Baatezu, while an Imp a greater form of devil that come from Lemures, not be a Baatezu? I know the Monster Manual I doesn't list Imp and Chain Devils as a Baatezu, but I'm left wondering why.Wenin (talk) 03:06, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blood War

[edit]

Blood War is definitively not a "millennia-long war" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.152.246.2 (talk) 08:39, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Hellbound - The Blood War says that a millennium is just very short time compared to the duration of the baatezu-tanar'ri conflict. So "millennia-long war" does not seem a bad paraphrase to me. Daranios (talk) 19:57, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Baatorians" who preceded 'baatezu'?

[edit]

The General of Gehenna article states, as like the obyriths are to the Demons/Tanar'ri, the Devil's/Baatezu actually came after another race in hell known as "Baatorians". Is there any official information on this? 66.243.215.2 (talk) 23:09, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but I forget which book it's from. 129.33.19.254 (talk) 23:14, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dashes and number signs

[edit]

I saw the style changes were undone, but they all comply with manual of style standards. I think the n-dash change is pretty uncontroversial, but the numbering part could be a little more contentious. My understanding is that the only periodical type printed items that use the number sign as oppose to "No." are comic books. I think we should put the changes back. —Torchiest talkedits 13:48, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
