Book of Fiends and Sin Magic


Rise of the Runelords

Liberty's Edge

I just picked up Book of Fiends from Green Ronin, and having given it a perfunctory glance, noticed that the daemons are aligned around the seven sins.
Just wondering if there's any connection?

At this point, the connection is merely that the seven sins are an excellent source for writing about evil and fiends. Currently, the daemons of the Book of Fiends don't play a huge role in Rise of the Runelords... mostly because there's not a heck of a lot of them that are low CR and/or would fit logically into the adventure. Furthermore, the daemon backstory isn't open content, I don't think, so most, if not all of that can't be used by us.

That said... the thaumaturge class from Book of Fiends DOES get used in the first adventure in Rise of the Runelords. And I do suspect that we'll be going back to that book now and then for monsters in the future.

Cool. It has some really freaky monsters in it.

Wow, that's cool. :-) I like that you go outside the SRD stuff to other OGL sources. Very nice.


I just asked my FLGS to order some BoF! I really like what I know of the Thaumaturge! As I love demons, and yugoloth (I guess daemons is just the OGL name for them?) it is just the right book for me.


As I plan to buy this vile tome I read its review on d20zines.com and what I read there was very interesting...

...Gehenna a 7-layer plane. Each layer represents one of the seven deadly sins of mankind. Those seven sins are everywhere! Perhaps no coincidence as one of the authors is named Eric Mona...

Wow. That's not the response I was expecting. Granted, I didn't know what to expect from you, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't that. ;)

The Book of Fiends is a good book.

I particularly like Whore's Curse (p. 80, only CR2, so a good fit in the first installment) for the players (you know who your are) that think their are no consequences to their characters sleeping around with anyone they meet.
