Re: Whats a Demonling?
The Infernal Player's Guide ought to have some demonling discussion, IIRC. The Liber Servitorum includes a writeup of 3 2-Force demonlings, which I found to be highly amusing.
Basically, "demonling" is the term that encompasses "imp, gremlin, and things of fewer-than-three Forces that are bound for higher things (if nothing steps on them first)." For angels, there's only one word needed: "reliever." (edit: and relievers only come in 3+ Force versions.) For demons? It got tedious writing "imps and/or gremlins" all the time, so when the term cropped up, it was pounced upon with great glee.
(The concept of less-than-3-Force-demonlings came up in The Marches, if I recall correctly. It was amusing enough that we kept it.)
