I want demons with Glamour
I almost don't care who.
It'd be nice if some of the Rakshasa had glamour - they *do* have air magic, so they can cast it, but that's not the same. I suppose that Raskshasa are not particularly stealthy, at least in most renditions.
Perhaps a pretender chassis - the "Daughter of Lies" - banished into the darkness when her father was vanquished by the previous pantokrator, she has returned to the world to claim Godhood. She's inspired by the three daughters of Mara - she'd be a beefed-up succubus with glamour.
Alternatively, if we could add uniques, there could be three daughters of lies available as a summon - Avarice, Lust and Hatred - who would be unique succubi with glamour.
Jinn and Ifrit should definitely have glamour - and Ifrit are sorta demons (although if I add them as children of Anrthrax they'd be magicbeing+undead, but not demons.)

Re: I want demons with Glamour
You can do unique summons. Though you have to make a summon spell specific to each one.
The Warhammer Empire mod I was/am working on is stuffed full of uniques (mostly grandmasters and elector counts).

Re: I want demons with Glamour
The thing that comes to my mind is the old Gog/Magog legend, about the demon tribes that Alexander the Great encountered. They'd be big, very fast, weirdly mutated demons with multiple limbs, low morale, low magic, and glamour

Re: I want demons with Glamour
Maybe some of the Gog/Magog units would have both demon and animal designators-that would be different. Maybe a demon/nature nation?

Hmm, isn't LA Arcoscephale supposed to be bit Alexanderish? Maybe a twist (oh ho) on LA Abysia?

Re: I want demons with Glamour
Well, see, here we've got what Alexander encountered, on his campaign, rather than coming *from* the Greek tradition.
It's about two tribes of demons, the Gog and the Magog, that Alexander ran into, somewhere beyond Persia and above India. They were said to be more or less typically monstrous, with the specific oddity of the Gog only having one leg but capable of running extremely fast, while the Magog had three legs, and were even faster.
Although they were quite potent and had terrorized the region for quite some time, Alexander apparently defeated them so soundly that they fled into their caves and never showed their faces again, from that point on only haunting the cave-filled region with their mysterious voices and whispers.
I personally feel that they may have represented the people who lived in the cave-cities of Turkey, or possibly entities they believed in and feared, but this is mostly speculation and conjecture. Still, a good imagination could fill in the gaps enough to form a very interesting nation for Dominions.

Re: I want demons with Glamour
Gog/Magog is older than the greek tradition AFAIK (and I think those particular legends arose a while after Alexander anyway).
