<p>Back in the days of the Hell's Rebels adventure path publication, I had asked you if Archdevils would be part of the books like Demon Lords were for Wrath of the Righteous. At the time, you said no as no one was really interested in creating them. Although I loved the Demon Lords you designed, especially Nocticula (the encounter between my players and Nocticula in Midnight Isles will remain one of the most powerful roleplay moment of my 30 year rpg "career" as a game master) and Sikfesh, I was disappointed not to feel the love for my personal favorite, the Archdevils.</p>
<p>When I saw B6 was coming out and Archdevils were included, I got very excited. Throwing in stats for Charon and Great Old Ones just added to my joy and anticipation for this book.</p>
<p>All this long message simply to say thank you, I am grateful. You made an old gamer very happy indeed.</p>Mr. Jacobs,

<p>In fact, in all cases, the CR score listed for any monster or NPC in a book we publish is the actual CR score.
