INFERNAL PACT
Level: A6
Cost: 35 Mana (M)
Antipaladin only. Levels 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26.
The antipaladin traces a burning sigil and seals a pact with the Abyss. As
the antipaladin grows in power, ever greater demons answer, each bringing a
new infernal gift:
* Tier I (Level 6, 35 mana): The Hellspawn Imp
Fights at your side and hurls Shadowflame Bolts at your foe: 2d6+18 damage
plus your strength damage bonus and a third of your level.
* Tier II (Level 10, 45 mana): The Ashen Fiend
Blood Tithe: 30% of the demon's melee damage is stored. From the third
round it may release the stolen life into you (20%, rising to certain by
the eighth round). The heal is capped at 20 + your level.
* Tier III (Level 14, 60 mana): The Shadow Reaver
Mantle of Hellfire: while the demon serves, you take 33% less damage, or
60% in total when you also have sanctuary.
* Tier IV (Level 18, 75 mana): The Soul Harvester
Soul Shatter: cracks your foe's soul (-5 hitroll, -5 damroll). If it dies
shattered, its soul restores a quarter of your hit points plus your level,
and 15% of your mana and movement.
* Tier V (Level 22, 90 mana): The Pit Lord
Dread Grasp: freezes your foe for a round and marks it for ruin; your next
melee hit against it deals double damage.
* Tier VI (Level 26, 105 mana): The Crimson-Winged Demonlord
Infernal Bulwark: while the demon serves, your armor improves by 10% (at
least 15 points), you gain +1 strength, and 25% of each monster's melee hit
on you (at most 30) lashes back at it.
Pact Rules:
* Only one guardian or demon may be summoned at a time.
* Health scales with the antipaladin's maximum hit points and level.
* The demon joins your fights but cannot be ordered to start them; foes focus
on the antipaladin. It follows you when you flee, retreat, or recall.
* If you die, are separated from the demon, ungroup it, or remove it, it is
dragged back into the Abyss and its mantle and bulwark vanish with it.
* Demon magic is never turned on other players.
