@@elijahhayter3026 too be fair. Have you met other humans? Their quite disturbing, just look how they act to eachother. They know that what their doing causes harm and still do it because that's what they want to do, willingly choosing to do something evil is disturbing
Eh. Demons are a far more active threat; they are at all times focused on spreading themselves and turning everything into demon shit. Aberrations are far too focused on being spooky in caves 500 ft underground to give a rip snort what normal people are doing.
The layers of the abyss are not *actual* layers stacked on top of each other. They are just numbered by the order in which people found out about them.
The difference between devils and demons based on what you do if you find them: Devils - First, if you have the luxury, try to find out why that devil is there and what are it's intentions wich may prove difficult (devils can be surprisingly diverse and layerd individuals), it's probably up to no good but that does'nt mean that it's doing something so evil you whould have to intervine, if you have to aproach it remember that devils have the minds of businessman and because of that it will probably try to make you do something useful to it before they start becoming agressive, at this point some negociating skills or knowladge of a legal sistem might help you since they will most likely try to strike a deal with you and even though they are still evil creatures, they are surprisingly okay with letting you go if you manage to out smart them on the terns of the deal (something that is not in any way easy, but it's possible), overall, trying to kill the devil should be one of the last things you should try to do since it will comeback sonner or latter, and it will be VERY pissed with you Demons - kill it, KILL IT HARD, there is no such thing as overkilling a demon, there is just making sure it's gonne, if you cant kill it them run far away, when you think you have ran enough, run a little bit more to be shoure, if you cant run then start praying for your death to be painless (it wont) and that if it try's to rape you (wich it probably will) that at the very least it will try to be gentle (it wont)
Demons - put one as the magical engine to that god machine you have been building to run an advanced civilization for a few centuries. No way that could go wrong at all.

1:37 idk how this is actually handled in D&D but if I ever get to DM, the rule I'd use if that if you have x heads, your intelligence is multiplied by x but your wisdom is divided by x
My theory on how layers get added to the Abyss is that when a demon infection becomes so great that the Gods just cut the area out of existence and hurl it onto the pile and just restore the area to how it used to be before, minus any of the idiots that decided to invite the demons into the Material Plane. Meanwhile they also wipe everyones memory that the area had a demon infection.
Infinite layers is a really stupid concept for reasons I don’t even have to describe, so yeah. Kind of similar to what happened to Arcadia’s third layer, actually, and how it sank into mechanus.
While I like the art for the DND Demon Lords, I can't help but feel the art of the lower demons is far too cartooney disney and clean. Now Warhammer has some badass daemon art!
Gods, you have to be one of my favorite DnD youtubers. I'd recommend you to anybody interested or currently invested in the game. Always excited when you post something new. Keep on keeping on, guy.

Think of fiends like this: Demons give no fucks and will do whatever. Devils stick to agreements, but they wanna see how badly they can fuck you over without actually breaking the agreement. Yugoloths will do whatever as long as you pay them. Pay them what? That depends on the yugoloth. Oh, and they'll absolutely fuck you if somebody pays them more to do it.
It’s so strange to go from the Schools of Magic videos, where he talked super calm, as if teaching a class, to this video, where right out of the bat it was just... WHOO! Awesome. Truly amazing.

Ya missed that Jubilex isnt actually Jubilex tho Hes a much more powerful and anchient diety; Ghaunadaur, who acts in the abyss in the image of Jubilex but is more powerful than any demon lord and older than most gods

Wow, wery nice advice, thank you.
I don't think that I am going to meet demon or devil but thank you for the advice
Demons - put one as the magical engine to that god machine you have been building to run an advanced civilization for a few centuries. No way that could go wrong at all.
The last part though..
I was unaware I was playing a D&D: Corruption of Champions module.
The real difference: When you're slaying devils play knee deep in the dead
When you're slaying demons play BFG division.

And the best part? The Old One probably wouldn't notice your absence, so no consequences!
Juiblex is my kind of guy, I would gladly sacrifice him thousands of people for some cute slime girls :D
