Talk:Malebranche/Conflicts

Target

According to Princes of Darkness, Book of the Damned Volume 1, each malebranche is transformed for the purpose of conquering a planar realm or a Material Plane realm, while according to the hardback Book of the Damned and Planar Adventures, their targets are restricted to mortal worlds. The hardback Book of the Damned and Planar Adventures are both newer and of a higher tier. - HTD (talk) 11:29, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
