Overview[edit]

Devils are a race of creatures native to Lawful Evil-aligned planes. They are Evil Outsider type monsters. Baatezu is an AD&D 2nd Edition terminology, back then the game was accused of being "Satanic", so TSR, Inc. renamed it.

Description[edit]

Most Devils possess the following traits, unless otherwise noted in a creature’s entry.

DR/Silver
Teleportation
Immunity to fire
Resistance to acid and cold
Spell Resistance

Tip #206 (Other version.): To bypass the Damage Reduction (DR) of Devils, you need a silver or good weapon or a weapon that is both silver and good, depending on the Devil.
