Chapter 3: Those That Would Traffic With Demons

The power that can be offered by the Abyss is great indeed, for those who dare to claim it. This section lists many tools and materials that players may wish to use, and that the GM can also use to make their demon-allied NPCs and monsters more unique.

Demonic Races

There are a few races that are irrevocably tainted with demonic energies. [more to come here]

Demonic Grafts

For the truly depraved or desperate, grafts are magically-preserved organs, limbs or tissues that are affixed directly to the bodies of others. While they are disgusting, and few would willingly undertake to have them implanted, they offer considerable power.

Gaining grafts: A graft 'uses up' a magic item slot, as if it were a magic item itself. In order to receive a graft, a creature must be either willing or immobilized. The entire process requires an hour, and is excruciatingly painful, dealing 10% of a creature's full normal hit points in hit point burn (this cannot be healed by magic, and can only recover naturally). Aside from the lack of magic item slots, there is no limit to how many grafts a creature can receive.

Removing grafts: Grafts are generally permanent once attached, as they become part of the body of whoever they were attached to. In order to remove them, they must be manually severed, which requires a coup de grace action. This is also painful, dealing 10% of the creature's full normal hit points in hit point burn (see above). Additionally, half of this damage never heals, except by long-term care from a creature with at least 7 ranks in Heal, or from a regenerate spell.

Grafts and appearance: Grafts tend to look unsightly in the extreme. A creature with at least one graft receives a -2 penalty on any checks required to interact with non-evil individuals. A creature which has three or more grafts instead takes a -4 penalty on such checks. A creature with five or more grafts takes a -8 penalty on such checks.

Balor Blood	The blood of a balor, which sheds flames from its user and destroys their enemies.
Bar-lgura Arm	A bar-lgura's arm, with all its strength.
Demon Heart	The heart of a demon, which fills those that carry it with unending rage.
Eye of the Obyrith	The eye of an obyrith, giving its user powerful vision.
Face of the Obyrith	The face of an ekolid, giving its user a form of madness.
