Stub Logo.png This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: This is severely lacking flavor, both in text and concept. Text-wise, the only thing the reader has to go off of is feature names, no description of where these features draw their power from (are these jutsu, some kind of granted power like a jinchuriki, an innate power like the Path of the Assassin's Demonic Shroud) or any non-mechanical effects of the features (do they provide a chakra shroud like Beast of Youth features, does it put the user in any particular mental state).

Concept-wise, nothing about this path particularly feels demonic (especially not in the Naruto franchise's concept of demons, which are more like natural disasters than the western concept of devils), and its mechanics feels like a player would be better off multi-subclassing and introducing their own flavor text (Demonic Aura could just be a 2 feature dip into Path of the Beast, Aura of Terror is just diet Demonic Shroud, Aura of the Immortal could easily just be a dip into Path of Vitality or Jashin Immortality if a DM wanted to allow a player to go whole-hog on the immortality concept). This would be easy to workshop if, as above, we had any flavor text to base improvement off of.
