Demonify[edit]

The soul of a demon has been unwillingly sucked inside you. Both souls are now in constant conflict. You may contract this disease/curse by a cursed item, cursed environment or by a spell.

Demonic Transformation[edit]

Your will is strong enough to keep the demon soul at bay, but once engaged in combat, you start losing your grip.

Player must roll for a Dexterity saving throw of 10,

If they succeed, they stay in their original form.

But if they fail, they transform into a demon, and have to stay in this form until they roll more a than 18 in a Dexterity saving throw (rolling every 1 in-game minutes) or until hit points are depleted. If player reaches 0 hit points as a demon, he becomes normal, but permanently loses 1 hit points.

Demonic Appearance[edit]

When transformed, you gain certain demonic traits, like horns, blood red eyes, long tail, long canines, long claws and a light pink skin color.

Character Changes[edit]

While in demon form, you gain the following effects on your stats:

  • +5 Strength
  • -1 Dexterity
  • +1 Constitution
  • -3 Intelligence
  • -3 Wisdom
  • +2 Charisma

You also gain the following effects:

  • Your alignment is now chaotic evil
  • You gain resistance against fire and non magical slashing and bludgeoning damage
  • You gain weakness against radiant damage
  • You have +25 hit points
  • You have +10 speed

Once you transform back into your original form, you lose all of the effects listed above.

Attacks[edit]

You may still use the weapons your are wielding, but have disadvantage. You gain the following attacks and spells:

  • Claws x2: Melee Weapon Attack, reach 5 ft., one target, +3 to Hit: (1d6 + LV/2) slashing damage.
  • Bite: Melee Weapon Attack, reach 5 ft., one target, +1 to Hit: (1d8 + 4) piercing damage.
  • Tail: Melee Weapon Attack, reach 10 ft., one target, +7 to hit (2d4 + LV - 5) bludgeoning damage.
  • Fireball:
3rd-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
A bright streak flashes from your pointing finger to a point you choose within range and then blossoms with a low roar into an explosion of flame. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 5d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire spreads around corners. It ignites flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.

Notes[edit]

  • When rolling Dexterity saving throw to transform back into your normal state, you roll with your normal Dexterity modifier, not with the modifier of the demon form.
  • I have removed the material cost from the fireball spell and have reduced the damage to balance the outcome.
  • This curse/disease can't be cured using spells, it can only be healed with a wish, a god or other celestial being.
