Phases

  • Possesses Nearby Host +12 (Dying):

    When the body that the monster possesses is slain or exorcised, the monster may attempt to possess another living being in the encounter space. The monster may not attempt to possess mindless beings, Wild monsters, or other wildlife. If successful, the monster gains total control over the host's body and has access to all its abilities, spells, and memories. The monster will release the host only if exorcised by a thaumaturge of appropriate skill (as determined by the GM) or the host dies.

Lore

TBD

A demonic spirit has no body and interacts with the material realm by possessing living hosts. Such spirits persist within the material realm to glom onto mortals and force them to commit atrocities, the psychical influence of which creates traumatic fonts that serve as puncture wounds between the material realm and various hells in the Astral Veil. Weakened boundaries between the Veil and the material in turn allows even more sinister forces to bleed through.

When the host dies (or the demon is exorcised out of it), it immediately attempts to take the body of a nearby host, or otherwise lies dormant until a suitable host can be found. Demonic spirits (whether occupying hosts or when disembodied) can be restrained with an unbroken circle of sea salt or silver, per the spell Circle of Binding. Exorcising a demonic spirit permanently from the material realm requires special ritual preparations carried out by a thaumaturge of significant skill and faith, as determined by the GM. Demonic spirits enjoy the mechanical statistics of the body they occupy, in addition to those outlined in this description.

The demonic spirit may summon other lesser spirits to its aid, if their souls linger nearby.
