Infernalist Merits And Flaws

Lord of the Flies(2pt Merit)

Blessed by Beelzebub, this infernalist wears an eternal halo of flies. Insects, drawn to his ineffable corruption.

Unshockable(3pt Merit)

Cast iron stomach allows consumption of any revolting substance. Totally unshakeable no matter what is occurring having lost all sense or revulsion.

Demonic Tutor(4pt Merit)

The advantage of having a minor devil, a djinn, a malignant ancestor ghost, even an elemental, but clearly not human as a teacher. The demon will go to no special effort or risk on her behalf, but will make occasional efforts for her. Leading to hidden treasures, esoteric lore, but he expects to be fed once the favor is performed. The Demon will instruct a promising student "free of charge". (For now...)

Demonic Heritage(7pt Merit)

Offspring of a demon. Uncannily long-lived, impervious to pain, and often possessed of inhuman powers. A demon-spawn (or laham) is said to be a special servant of Hell.

Demons are spirit entities cannot reproduce with mortals. But when the evil spirit possesses a human being (or an animal), the host can be tainted by Infernal Essence; if a child results, she'll probably have a little bit of Hell inside her. Such people are not doomed to evil--a heroic effort can overcome the worst ancestry. Few lahama aspire to virtue, though. A laham is a normal person "gifted by Infernal Essence with a few extraordinary abilities but does not belong to a new "race".

Can have 7 points of demonic Investments without making any form of pact. These are hers from birth and cannot be rescinded. Can live roughly 200 years, ages slower, a natural affinity for magic.

All are cursed by deformities of body, mind, and soul. Must select 3 points of Flaws, plus 4 points in the Echoes Flaw. (The Sorcerers Crusade, pg 106). Also tempermental in nature. People with True Faith or some strong affinity for goodness can sense the demonic heritage.

Unholy Aura(7pt Merit)

An Infernalist with this gift drives all goodness from his presence. Relics and goodly trappings crumple in his grasp, living things wither where he stands, men and women of faith hide their faces and flee. To anyone who can see auras, the Infernalist looks like a walking storm cloud.

Repulsive to Animals(1pt Flaw)

Horses shy, dogs bark or whine but this does not apply to Hell-born creatures, familiars, or demon-ridden beasts.

Bitter Tongue(3pt Flaw)

Every time the warlock speaks, invectives, lies and evil prophecies pout out. The character cannot speak without insulting someone, blatantly lying, or making some cryptic remark that foreshadows a coming disaster.

Infernal Aura(3pt Flaw)

Radiates a black, toxic aura that anyone with mystic ability can sense. Chances are, she smells of sulphur and leaves ashen footprints when she walks. Whatever guise she wears, the witch cannot hide her corruption.

Cannibal(4pt Flaw)

Eating human meat--exclusively. Nothing else. The flesh can be dead, decaying or even alive, but it must be human.

Horrific(5pt Flaw)

Makes a Nosferatu look good...get the idea. Whatever humanity is long gone; lookswise...insect, mollusk or screaming nightmare.
