Hi folks,

Does "cambion" mean something? I have read in the MM 3.0 that humanoid half-fiends are called "cambions", and, I have also seen that word in the For Duty and Deity adventure.

IIRC a Cambion (male) and a Alu-Fiend (female) are the offsprings of Humanoids and Succubus/Incubus.

Correction:
Cambions were always male offspring of a Demon and a Human Female. They had several rankings depending on how powerful the father was.

Alu-Fiends were always female offsprign of a Succubus and a Human Male.

This being from 1E and 2E of course.

In 3E terms, a Male Half-Fiend could be called a Cambion, and a Female Half-Field an Alu-Fiend. Regardless of parentage. Though to me, those two terms should only be applied to Demonspawn.

The Dlardrageth, the leaders of the Fey'ri, are also Cambions/Alu-fiends.

*************SPOILER ALERT********************











Well, maybe - remember, Dlardrageth's also knew how to make a compact with demons to gain the power to wield high magic....

much to the way Araevin melds with the Eladrin.

Mod Edit: Just making the spoiler space even more effective since some of us haven't even read that much .

Still rockin' the Fey'ri style.

Could you PLEASE mark spoilers as such-I haven't read that bit yet, and thanks for spoiling it for me!

There should be some way to "hide" text, because that spoiler alert line isn't very big. I can see the spoiler and the spoiler alert at the same time.

Try using this colour, then you'll need to highlight the text to read it.

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.
