DAEMON TRUE FORM

+1 to Constitution per level

At level 1 of this power 

• Daemon manifests their Lesser Form visage, showing a portion of what they are, while maintaining mostly human form. This can be as subtle as changing eye color or more elaborate like skin color change, growing horns, tail, being covered in boils, etc. 

• Add +2 to Strength and Dexterity and +1 Armor. 

At level 3 of this power

• Daemon takes their True Form. This can be as wild as one wants, including, Wings, Claws, Fangs, Tail, Horns, Cloven Hooves, different sizes of the body. 

• Add +5 to Strength and Dexterity and +1 Armor. 

At level 5 of this power  

• In your True and Lesser Form you have a passive power based on your Sin. 

• Pride: Anyone who landed an unarmed attack on you takes 1 damage. 

• Wrath: Unleash powerful attack that may hit up to 3 targets at once. 

• Sloth: May not be commanded to do anything that would require an effort. 

• Gluttony: Upon scoring a critical hit on anyone who has 5 HP or less, the daemon devours them whole. The devoured person is not harmed and instead is stored in the daemons guts, who will vomit them out later. However the daemon may not hold someone in their belly for more than one day. 

• Greed: Daemon may materialize any item they been in possession for at least a day out of a thin air. This makes taking an item that daemon possesses borderline impossible.

• Lust: The lust daemon blends a line between pain, pleasure, and desire. They are completely immune to the penalties from crits or any penalties that come from pain. 

• Envy: When affected by any power, no matter how little, the Daemon may replicate this power and hold on to it for a day. This power must be a single thing, not entire level 1 to 5. Meaning that being hit by Wrath Daemons, the Envy Daemon may replicate an ability to ignore 1 armor with unarmed attacks. When commanded to do something by Pride Daemon, they may then use same command power. This does not replicate any stat bonuses, be it from levels or shapeshifts, as well as Daemon may only hold on to one replicated power at the time. 

• Deceit: Gain ability to turn invisible. 

• Fear: Anyone in 20 meter range from the Daemon feels uneasy, having their botch raised from natural 1 to natural 3 as well as suffers -1 to Intelligence and Charisma. 

• Despair: No crits can be scored against Despair daemon. 

​

TRUE FORM LIMITATION​

• Daemon cannot transform into true form sanctified grounds, like churches. ​

ORDER MENDAX / DECIET DAEMONS

LIES UPON LIES

​

• These illusions cannot be traps or prisons, inescapable prisons are the domain of despair daemons. Order Mendax want to create false narratives, not create despair or fear.

• Additionally the target can not score critical successes while affected by this power.

At level 5 of this power 

• The Daemon can create an elaborate maze of despair which is accessed through any door, window, or a hole.

• Once someone enter it, they cannot escape this maze or call for help in anyway, not even teleportation works there. While to the eyes of the onlookers, the person simply vanished. 

• This can only be used on one person at the time so once someone is trapped in the maze, others may not enter it, only the Deamon can. 

• The Character who is trapped can only escape when the Daemon moves into another scene entirely, decides to break it, or one of them reach 0 HP while in the maze. 

• Daemons like to trap subjects in this prison to drive them into the depths of despair, but all the physical damage done there vanishes once outside of the maze.

DIABOLIC DEALINGS

Daemons are famous for making dark deals with those that seek power. Faustian deals that have a heavy price. Daemons of all orders can generally all offer the same experiences, the only difference is the payment.  This price usually depends on the particular order of Daemons one is dealing with.​

THE PRICE OF SIN 

• Superbia Daemons expect worship from those they make deals with. They wish to be venerated with shrines and constant prayer in praise of the Daemon.

• Iratis Daemons expect characters to carry out exaggerated or elaborate punishments on those who have wronged others, no slight, no deed, no wrong doing can be forgiven nor unpunished. Generally the more bloody and gruesome the better. This often puts Iratis followers at odds with followers of other sins.

• Piger expect characters to give up any and all energetic activities, including sex. Those taking an oath of servitude are not even allowed to run from a combat or even defend themselves.

• Gula Daemons expect characters to alter their diet in extreme ways, eating hair and insects or consuming human blood or other bodily fluids are not uncommon details.

• Avarita Daemons expect characters to surrender all of their worldly riches , including homes to the Daemon, every cent from their paycheque must go to the daemon, eventually the character will have to steal in order to survive and keep up with Daemons demands.

• Cubus Daemons expect nothing else other than eternal sexual servitude. They are expected to sleep with whomever the Daemon decrees they sleep with and they are expected to perform debased acts they would never usually consider. The Cuba know no limits and respect no sexual orientation. They will make straight people sleep with the same gender and vice versa.

• Invidus Daemon expect the same as Avarita Daemons but in addition the character must surrender anything they have such as their spouse, pets, children over to the Daemon.

• Mendax Daemons expect their subjects to ruin the reputation of others via malicious gossip and false accusations. Allegations of cruelty, abuse and misconduct are highly encouraged.

• Ignavus Daemons expect their subjects to create an atmosphere of fear in their city, carrying out violent crimes or terrorist atrocities are the go to on this.  

• Tristita Daemons expect characters to simply realize the price of the deal is their eternal soul. They have to swear to say "My soul is doomed" upon waking and upon going to bed. While this may seem a minor demand compared to some of the other orders, this particular deal never allows the character to forget that their ultimate fate is inescapable. 

​​

In return for these oaths the daemon will attempt to the best of its abilities fulfil the request of the character, though of course the request cannot be contrary to the oath, for example a Cubas can not be a sexual slave to one who has sworn sexual servitude, however the Cubas are the most prolific deal makers, offering one night of unmatched pleasure in exchange for a lifetime of sexual servitude.

​

• Daemons can not improve the statistics of other characters.

• Daemons can use their own powers to affect those that the deal maker has marked as causing them problems.

• Daemons may perform tasks within their ability as part as a diabolic deal.

• Daemons rarely give information freely. Especially Greed Daemons, Information given by Deceit Daemons as part of a Diabolic Deal must be truthful.

• Daemons can transfer any one effect of their order powers to the character they have a deal with for the duration of a scene , while this effect is in play the Daemon cannot use that power themselves. Statistics are neither hampered for the Daemon or improved for the subject of the deal. The Daemon must be present in the scene. They cannot bestow base powers.

• Daemons can  be summoned by characters they have a contract with,  appearing instantly.

• Daemon may aid in combat  the characters they have a contract with .

• Daemons can  heal characters they have a deal with  and even bring them back from brink of death.

• Daemons may offer resurrection of a loved one as part of Diabolic Deal. 

• Daemons can heal untreatable diseases and even cure cancer with a touch as part of a Diabolic Deal.

• Daemons can offer a tour of the spirit realm as part of a Diabolic Deal, rather like in Faustus, they can eject the subjects soul and assist it in spying on others in spirit form before returning it to its body.

• Daemons cannot be harmed in any fashion by those who have sworn an oath to them.

• Daemons will combat other Daemons if their servant had requested protection. Daemons harming other Daemons as part of a Diabolic deal are accepted among Daemons as part and parcel of being a Daemon, they generally don't hold grudges against Daemons just doing their job. They are most likely to laugh it off post combat, a body is just a body after all.

• The deal once made is unbreakable unless the Daemon fails to fulfil their end of a contract within 6 days 6 hours and 6 minutes.

• Once the daemon has upheld their end of the deal, the character belongs to them and must fulfil the oath. This is a permanent state, the only escape is death, though of course it isn't.

• Subjects who do not keep their end of the deal with Daemon suffer health loss or irresistible compulsion that they must act on, the compulsion is usually in line with the Daemon Order's particular sin.

​

The purpose of Diabolic deals is to weaken the spiritual resolve of characters making them fit for possession in the future, it may be for the Daemons personal use, or it maybe for Daemon's ally. (This is a good way to have a human character become a Daemon at a later date)

​

While Diabolic deals can be verbal a wise character will request a formal written contract that they must sign in blood. Daemons are unable to refuse this request for some reason.

A physical contract written on paper can be destroyed, a verbal contract cannot. If a physical contract is destroyed the character is freed from their service to the Daemon. However they will have made a powerful enemy intent on destroying them.

The only way to back out of a Diabolic Deal is for the Daemon to fail to achieve the request within the time frame.

Daemon's cannot make Diabolic Deals with other Daemons.​
