[edit] Book of Vile Darkness
According to the Book of Vile Darkness, devilis not synonymous with baatezu. Rather, devils refer to any natives of Baator, whereas baatezu refers to a specific group of devils. The same applies to demons and tanar'ri. I have changed this in the article. SpectrumDT 17:55, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Alignment Races
This article isn't the major planar races, but those that personify an alignment. Genies, the lords of elements are the major races of the inner planes. Mercane, the big blue merchants of the planescape, are a major race that lives in the inner and outer planes.
This should be renamed major outer planes races, or alignment races, or petitioner races, or D&D afterlife, or something.
-
- I agree that this is a list of the main races of each Outer Plane, not major planar PC races. Mercane are enigmatic, not even a definite race, and genies are Inner Planar. --Iavas
[edit] Modrons
I'm pretty sure that Quadrones can become player characters, not monodrones. Monodrones lack even rudimentary intelligence, as they can only process one command at a time, and will even attack other modrons after a battle, being unable to recognize them as friendlies without new orders.
-
- According to earlier Planescape material, only Rogue Modrons have enough free will to become Player Characters, and those are a seperate class of their own. --Iavas
[edit] Baernaloths
Baernaloths are not really Yugoloths at all, despite the similar nomenclature. They are the lords of evil and creators of the major evil races. --Iavas
[edit] Firre
The Firre link leads to something completely unrelated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.150.169.106 (talk) 21:07, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Baatezu hierarchy
Could someone with Fiendish Codex II check the 3.5 edition hierarchy and add any unclear rank Baatezu? I used the article's existing order (except for correcting Nupperibo, which is a dead end above Lemure, at least in 2nd edition, and adding Paelyiron, which I'm pretty sure is just below Pit Fiend), but I'm pretty sure that Abishai are too high. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 03:21, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Redundancy
This article seems redundant with outsider (Dungeons & Dragons) and elemental (dungeons & dragons). Perhaps the scope could be expanded to focus extraplanar creatures in general, while more specific information ccould be moved into the outsider and elemental articles. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 07:41, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
