Banishment kills

Yeah, Gaea and Devourers are opposing gods.

But when it comes to opposition between the gods, things are not black & white - there are shades of gray.

Ex: Lythander grants attack type confusion - should Gnarg followers get immunity or protection to confusion?

In a way, Devourers opposes all life and that is why they get very powerful disease spells later on or at a higher level.

That's a theme for many of the gods; easy at low level but then taper off in power or more challenging at a low level but power increases later on (and often includes a vulnerability).

why do monsters pray to random gods, and _not_ to their race's god?

demons are _NOT_ supposed to cast banishment of gnarg! (which killed my elf)

is it easy to fix this? - i think it is a bug

Yes. And for example, a vampire casting banishment of Devourers killed me (Devourer's follower). There are at least two bugs in it : Devourers are denied banishment and i don't think you shuold be affected by your own god's banishment.

Sorig is denied banishment, but a follower of Sorig can pickup a rod of banishment and blast away.
Devourer is denied banishment but can pickup a rod and cast banishment, but it won't actually hurt anything.
Now if the same rod of banishment is given to a creature (spawned normally or in some cases even summon by a devourer follower) that creature will take the rod of banishment, and casting banishment of devourer do damage to undead - something that a player folllowing devourer can not do.

and this should not be. It is highly illogic.

Right, I was simply summarizing - I don't think anyone intended it that way, but I know I haven't been able to get into the code yet so it's nothing I would be able to propose a fix for.
