My intention was to be vague enough that the DM could reasonably come to their own conclusions and work it out with their player(s) on their own. I can probably just say something like this somewhere. But of course, I think Remove Curse or Dispel Evil And Good are definitely possible options as well. This could be anything from a Calm Emotions spell for temporary relief, or a Lesser/Greater Restoration. However, I purposefully left the "cure" blank, as I felt this was something that would be better managed on an individual basis and more or less left to the discretion of the DM. The madness can really be an optional flavor/roleplaying feature, as I'm sure not everyone will want to play as a slightly mad character. Thanks! I'll work your suggestions in as soon as I'm able. The wording for the Sacrifice ability does need help. I should probably add some text to clarify that. ![]() So would function exactly the same as the Warlock's Patron's extended spell list. Yes, they are simply an expanded spell list. (At one point the spellcasting ability was Wisdom.) However, the demonic spellcasting ability is typically Charisma, so this remains the spellcasting ability. So, similar to the Ranger? The flavor here is that the character would need proficiency in Wisdom to survive the possession, and the proficiency in Constitution is something inherited from the demon, or maybe even the reason the demon chose to posses that character in the first place. This class - which is really kind of a three-quarters spell caster - is fairly open to either being more of a spell blade than a caster, full caster, or really not using spells very often at all, and instead focusing more on the origin abilities. This is what I keep going back to though. I've been playing around with the saving throws quite a bit. Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback! Thanks for taking the time to look at this! I'm very interested to see what others think of this class. I also welcome anyone to playtest this as they will. I've been procrastinating sharing this for a while, but I would very much appreciate any comments, constructive criticisms, and feedback anyone may have for this. It's been play-tested a fair amount throughout this time by myself and friends, but I know it is not perfect. I believe that this class does just this and is within the realms of reasonable balance. It is my personal opinion that a new homebrew class, race, spell, etc, should be balanced to the best that it can be with existing content and fulfill a gap in the existing content, whether this is mechanically, flavorfully, or both. ![]() ![]() I know that to a few it seems like a mutilated Warlock class, however, I feel like this is flavorfully and mechanically different enough to warrant its own class. Originally this began as a small project to satisfy my desire for a more demonic-oriented D&D class that had a darker and more direct relationship with a demonic entity and eventually it turned into this. I have been working on this custom class for D&D 5th Edition on and off for about a year now. On exceptionally rare occasions, this intrusion leads to the creation of a mortal Abyssal." Whether being summoned, ordered, or acting alone, demons will frequently take possession of another’s body. ![]() It comes as no surprise that some of these demons make their way into the Material Realm. "Many races live in and around the Material Plane, yet their numbers pale in comparison to the innumerable host of demons residing the Infinite Layers of the Abyss.
