Demon

Wanna play one of the demons from Demon: The Fallen in DFRPG?

Then use this Template.


 * Musts:** A demon must have an appropriate High Concept and the following Powers:

The Sight [-1] Mental Immunity [-8] The Stacked Catch is Anything Not Magical Mind Manipulation [+6] Feeding Dependency: Faith [+1] effecting; Inhuman Recovery [-2]

All Demons have the +0 Torment ability as well, if they have Sponsored Magic, this means that any Sponsor Debt they acquire will cause them to behave in some sort of monstrous manner. It also means that if they possess a Visage they may take certain powers using the Rules on p. 92 by taking Sponsor Debt instead of paying the Fate Points. They may do this at any time, but only by taking Sonsor Debt, and thus only by doing very bad things at some point.


 * Options:** Demons may select additional Powers from the following Lores and Visages.

__Lore of the Fundament__: Channelling (Physical Forces) covers all of it. Bearing in mind that the listed elements are suggestions.

__Lore of Humanity__: Translate would be a custom -1 power, while the rest could be represented by Inspire Emotion or social skills alone.

__Lore of the Celestials__: Full on Soulfire [-5] would seem to work best. Though that does make it AND the Visage a bit out of PC levels. Possibly some other Sponsored Magic worked out with the GM. __Visage__: Wings [-1], Echoes of the Beast [-1] (for the enhanced senses), Human Form [+1]. That covers it. Can gain Claws, Inhuman Strength, and Inhuman Toughness via Torment.

__Lore of Flame__: Channeling (Fire) or Evocation with Fire specialties. Easy. __Visage__: Physical Immunity (Fire) [-2], Inhuman Speed [-2], Human Form [+1]. Can gain Claws and Inhuman Strength with Torment.

__Lore of Radiance__: Something custom involving granting bonuses to allies. Probably harder to come up with than most things. __Visage__: Wings [-1], Flesh Mask (The beauty bonus only, but doesn't go away when damaged) [-1], Echoes of the Beast [-1], Human Form [+1], can gain Claws and Breath Weapon with Torment.

__Lore of the Firmament__: Doesn't work well in DFRPG...though maybe as some sort of Sponsored Magic. __Visage__: Echoes of the Beast [-1], Wings [-1], Inhuman Speed [-2], Human Form [+1], can gain Claws and Cloak of Shadows with Torment.

 * Minimum Refresh Cost:** -4 Refresh


 * Notes:** Demons may make deals, granting people power in exchange for the ability to draw Faith from them, even hurting or killing them if they wish. This should be considered an Invoke of the Demon's High Concept when done, and the Thrall's High Concept should be changed to reflect any powers they gain. Spending time with these people or basking in other Faith is how Demons feed their Feeding Dependency. The Demon has no actual control over these people, though they may convince them they do, and can (in theory) take back their gifts.

If a demon's Physical form is killed, he may recover by possessing a new host barring supernatural forces being brought to bear on his spirit. May being the operative word, there.
