With a 14 HT versus Unconsciousness (due to Berserk*) it's pretty unlikely they'll pass out before exploding.


* You did have them just automatically go Berserk right?

4) "No, don't use fire!": To bring in more tactical play, it may be fun to specify some attack that readily causes explosions (fire? lightning?), and some attack that will let the PCs kill the demons with just a puff of smoke and no explosion (brain hit? silver? Deathtouch?). The PCs will probably need Hidden Lore, or hard-won experience, to learn these tactical tricks, though.
I like having them explode into different things. Red ones are fiery explosions, green blow out into 3 hex poisonous gas clouds, yellow splash acid, blue are lightning, white are freezy, etc.

Of course the color coding is on the inside...
