If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

You unironically want to assume this. You have to treat every random panlord as though it can paralyze you for 7 turns in melee, haste itself, hurl damnation, glaciate, firestorm, tornado, shatter, chain lightning, lcs, torment, summon greater demons, etc (I don't know the full spell list offhand, it's a gigantic spoiler) until proven otherwise or else risk getting wrecked by the few panlords that actually do have those things. Unsurprisingly, this leads to gameplay that's kinda bad.
