Talk:Demonspawn

The level up abilities section mentions that demonspawn always receive at least five mutations by level 27. Does that mean five full ranks of mutations (i.e. Claws 3, Scales 3, etc.), or just five mutations total? Basically what I'm asking is, do some demonspawn not get the full benefits of their demonic heritage? --spudwalt 21:00, 11 July 2013 (CEST)

Five full ranks of mutations. All Ds mutate exactly the same amount (arguably except monstrous Ds). -Ion frigate 01:31, 12 July 2013 (CEST)

Demonspawn mutations come in "facets"; there are many possible facets, from which any Demonspawn upon generation is guaranteed to get five. However, each facet may involve more than one level of a mutation, or even more than one discrete mutation. Usually, a demonspawn gets a limb-replacement mutation, a "scales facet" mutation (either a type of scale, thin body structure, or repulsion field), and then two "lower-tier" facets, plus one (supposedly stronger) high-tier facet. Monstrous Demonspawn are a bit different, in that they get additional limb-replacement mutations, and do not get a "scale facet" mutation; however, they still receive the two lower-tier facets and one high-tier facet.

Anyway, I edited the page to be more accurate and cut out a few extraneous and distracting (thus potentially misleading) details and descriptions, e.g., describing the demonspawn bonus with demon weapons as "awesome." I removed the link to the strategy guide as the guide was completely outdated; linking it from a page that is mostly informative is downright misleading and will not help those who come to the page looking to learn more about demonspawn.

Yours, and into
