Personal Demons[edit]
<Rogue> Subclass
This Rogues sub-class draws it power from Dream Demons, Trickster Fey, Succubi, Angels & other Divine beings. Though Persona Demons themselves often have neutral aspects of their alignments.
Persona Demons can use their powers emulate other beings - transforming themselves into the living embodiment of opposing aspects of another beings personality or alignment. They can literally embody the little demon & tiny angel upon your shoulders - offering dangerous new influences into your everyday life. They can even read your thoughts & twist your desires. As well as drawing upon your strengths when they need to use some ... less polite methods of persuation.
This subclass is created using Echo Knight & Assassin as templates, though it is a little more powerful as its intended for single class builds. If you wish to balance this class, limit Perfect Mimickry & put a use use limit on Deadly Demons.
- Personal Demons
At 3rd level you can embody someones personality by using Personal Demons as a Standard Action. Select a target within 30ft of yourself. You split yourself into two beings that appear to mimick the targets form, but use your stats & equipment. Your two Demons are tiny sized and they opposite aspects of the targets alignment or personality. This will influence their appearances. Boths Demons uses your stats, saves & abilities. They each have 1/2 your HP & the transformation lasts for 1 minute. On your turn, you can move both demons as a free action. When you make an attack, you can make attack from either demon - even alternating between them if you have multiple attacks. You can also make one attack as a bonus action each round from your other demon. You can use your reaction from either demon each round as normal - triggering attacks of oppurtunity etc as normal. Should one Personal Demon reach 0 hp, it will disappear. Should both reach 0 hp, both disappear & you will appear in the space of the last one to disappear (your choice if destroy simultaneously) with 0 hp. Should your ability end, you reappear with the combined remaining HP of both Personal Demons. You appear in your choice of their current spaces if both are still alive. Personal Demons can be used up your Charisma Modifier each Long Rest.
- Perfected Mimickry
Your Personal Demons begin to take on aspects of your chosen target with increasing accuracy and power.
At 3rd level your Personal Demons both mimick one racial trait or ability of your target, if desired.
At 9th level your Personal Demons both transform one weapon or object you are holding into the same object as your target. No magical aspects are altered, only the physical form and base item stats are altered. You gain proficiency for that item for the duration of your ability.
At 13th level your Personal Demons can optionally both copy one of your targets ability scores, replacing your own attribute for their duration.
At 17th level Your Personal Demons steal 1 spell from your target. You can use this spell once, using your own level & stats for its power & saves. Additionally, your target can't use that spell for the duration of your Personal Demons ability.
- Persona Influence
At 9th level, when you activate Personal Demons, you can also recieve one of the following effects:
Charm - Your Target Resists a Cha Save or become Charmed towards your demons for their duration. Save DC is 8 + Proficiency Bonus + Cha Mod.
Misty Step - Your demons both magically appear within 10ft of the target.
Detect Thoughts - You can read your targets Surface Thoughts for your Personal Demons duration. You can also use a bonus action to read their deeper desires, if the target fails Wisdom Save, at any time. The Save DC = 8 + Proficiency Bonus + Cha Mod.
Invisible - You can appear invisible & silenced to all but your target. If you attack other creatures, this effect ends.
At 13th level you can activate a second feature as a bonus action when you activate your Personal Demons ability.
- Draining Personality
At 13th Level, your Personal Demons take on a larger aspect of your Targets personality. You are now influenced by their opinions for the duration of your Personal Demon ability. But when either of your Personal Demons reaches 0hp, the target must make a Cha save or gain a level of Exhaustion as they are mentally drained from the experience.
- Deadly Demons
At 17th Level, when one of your Personal Demons successfully activates Sneak Attack, if the other Personal Demon also has advantage, then you can use your Bonus Action to make an Attack with a Second Use of your Sneak Attack feature this round, allowing you to use Sneak Attack twice in one round.
