05-10-07, 11:27 PM Hello all. I've got a game going were the main stage of interest is the abyss. i've been reviewing the blood war. And aside from maybe a 1 in 100 chance of becoming a prisoner of war to later be killed for high priced or public entertainment LE creatures are not welcome.

one of my players is interested in playing a Rakasha. now rakasha are LE. They are however Native outsiders. Doesnt say native to what, so just native to where ever they are i suppose.

Just wondering what you all think about a rakasha walking about in the abyss and if he'd be killed on sight or detection of Law. Even if he screened his alignment, beings still know what he is with a successful knowledge planes check. so i'm honestly not sure what to tell him.

Rakasha lack the lawful subtype, so they could get along with demons if they wanted to.

05-11-07, 06:01 AM Native Outsider in the Monster Manual Usually Means Native to the Material Plane. A rakshasa may be Lawful, but its not a baatezu, nor even a devil by this definition.
On the other hand, these are the lower planes. Technically not guilty doesn't make them spare your life.

05-11-07, 09:04 AM The sheer fact that the Rak would be a lawful creature, regardless of where he/she/it is from, is enough to earn a violent, messy death by the hands of natives of the Abyss.

05-11-07, 11:50 AM Rakshasa are, IIRC, natives of Acheron. Though that might not be true depending on which campaign setting you are using.

I imagine a Chaotic outsider on the Abyss might be prejudiced against a Lawful Evil creature, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll be attacked on sight. I would suggest it depends largely on the type of Chaotic outsider, and who/what else the Rakshasa is travelling with.
