Innate Spells in Monster Hunters 3: The Enemy
In looking over the various Demon "creature sheets" in GURPS Monster Hunters 3: The Enemy, I notice that their Innate Spells are invariably equal to the controlling Path. Is this a requirement, or just a convenience for the GM? Could a demon have a little-used ability that's lower than the path it's based on, or a go-to trait that's higher?

Disclaimer:
I'm not really a MH master, but I think I can apply typical monster-statting thought to this. In other words, I think this is accurate, but YMMV. Answer: I'd say, Sure! If you're statting a monster, make it work the way you want it to. The end. I'm sure there is a way to bend a character sheet to reflect what you want here, but it's not worth it to give yourself a headache over fully statting up something that doesn't need it. Just work up the innate spell's rules and slap on the success roll desired and run with it.

If the GM wants to change it, up or down, then he should feel free to do so. But not because the basic rules support it -- instead, it's okay because evil demons already use special rules for magic, so it won't really hurt anything to futz with it a bit.

Well -- new in a games rules sense, anyway. As a setting, both Buffy and (in its own way) In Nomine prepared me well. :)
