Hell Spawn (3.5e Template)
Born to serve Malebolgia, Hellspawn are the foot soldiers of Hell's army.
Summary[edit]
Hellspawn are Humanoids that have been promised their heart's desire if they swear allegiance to Malebolgia, the supreme master of Hell, and serve in his army during Armageddon. Such a creature is not always evil. But only the damned are ever present in Hell, and so there exists no Good Hellspawn. A Hellspawn is often selected from among Humans, Elves or Orcs. Never from anything smaller than a Dwarf, and rarely from any creature much larger than a troll.
