** Concordant Killers are powerful outsiders that are part-celestial, part-fiend, rumored to have been created by gods of Neutrality to preserve the BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil. These TrueNeutral beings wield Concordant Greatswords that are simultaneously holy, unholy, axiomatic and anarchic, know powerful magic like ''blasphemy'', ''dictum'', ''holy word'' and ''word of chaos'', and can shift their magical defenses to protect them against foes of a certain alignment. They work as hitmen for demon princes and deities alike, accepting favors instead of treasure, and collectively track their kills to make sure their operations don't favor one alignment over another.
** Infernals, described in the ''TabletopGame/EpicLevelHandbook'', are the offspring of Gods and [[ChaoticEvil Demons]]/[[LawfulEvil Devils]]. They take after their non-divine parents.
** A nonliving example would be the physical copies of the Pact Primeval, stored in Mount Celestia, Mechanus, and the lowest reaches of the Nine Hells of Baator. These powerful magical artifacts document the ancient accord between Asmodeus' devils and the deities of law that gave the baatezu permission to punish mortal souls in Hell, and thus register strongly as lawful, good ''and'' evil artifacts. Mortal characters who encounter this aura must make a saving throw or become ''confused'' at its oxymoronic nature, but outsiders suffer a more drastic reaction - devils may suffer a spontaneous demotion to a lower rank of baatezu and will eventually dissipate entirely. Thus, Asmodeus guards his copy of the Pact Primeval with exclusively mortal cultists.
