Devil BC (5e Race)
Devil[edit]
Devils live in another world, the underworld. Sometimes, however, they manage to enter the mortal world. It is possible for you to drive into other bodies. They can lend some of their power to the vessel, giving them the ability to take on the form of the devil.
Physical Description[edit]
Society[edit]
The devils have developed a hierarchy in which their placements among the ranks are assigned at birth and are mostly unable to be changed.
