Devil Summoner (5e Class)

Introduction

This class is meant to replicate being a Devil Summoner from the SMT video game series. Devil Summoners make use of specialized computer devices called "COMPS." These devices are equipped with the "Demon Summoning Program" which can be used to summon and control demons.

Law, Chaos, or Neutral

Devil Summoners are frequently thrust into circumstances far beyond their control, relying on demons to survive. These Summoners wield great power, and must often make choices to decide the fate of the world itself. The question is, will you side with Law? Chaos? Or will you opt for a world of balance?
