Line 25:
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: Kind of. Destruction of its host body does not kill a demon and he can try to find a new body or possess an inanimate object (becoming one of the Earthbound) before being drawn back into the Abyss. However, demons can be made [[Deader Than Dead]], as this process causes permanent loss of power, whittling the demon to nothingness if he loses bodies too often; and other demons can attempt to devour a disembodied demonic spirit, to absorb its power and knowledge.
* [[Demonic Possession]]: All of the characters. Thankfully, demons are usually able to possess only the comatose, suicidal or dying.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: [[Player Character|Player Characters]] are supposed to battle [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] that can torch whole continents in seconds, if they push their abilities to the limit. Thankfully, at the moment of the game's start, said Abominations are supposed to be in a weakened state as well.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The Earthbound. Some demons got dragged out of the Abyss early by mortal sorcerers, and that ''really'' didn't help anything... "Normal" demons also can turn into this.
* [[Empty Shell]]: What demons can do to a human if they steal enough faith or use other means of mental trauma.
Line 41:
* [[Gothic Punk]]
* [[The Grim Reaper]]: This used to be the job of the Halaku.
* [[Have You Seen My God?]]: God and the loyalist angels are nowhere to be seen in the modern era; one supplement gives guidelines for making angels, though.
** Oh, and Lucifer is AWOL as well, having never been sent to the Abyss. He's supposedly [[Walking the Earth]] though and messing around with the [[Metaplot]] of other gamelines.
* [[Hive Mind]]: Lore of the Firmament can allow a Scourge to remotely control his or her thralls and sense what they sense.
Line 57:
* [[Mind Rape]]: The side effect of reaping Faith from an unwilling mortal. The Earthbound-exclusive Lore of Violation's second rank power is called "Mind Rape." Both kinds cause physical damage as well as psychological.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: The Raveners, who want to kill every living thing and destroy everything that isn't living; the idea is to spite God by destroying Creation. Some of the Earthbound also qualify.
* [[One
* [[Our Angels Are Different]]
* [[Our Souls Are Different]]: Angels/Demons don't actually ''have'' souls. They're the celestial equivalent of software, and they can be deleted or made into hand puppets if someone discovers their true name. Demonically possessing a human (even an [[Empty Shell]]) gives them direct access to a human soul, which lets them experience (among other, less pleasant things) real love for the first time. This is part of what frees them from Torment after leaving the Abyss.
Line 66:
* [[Shout Out]]: Earthbound Belial, one of Lucifer's five most powerful subordinates before the imprisonment looks a lot like Cthulhu. Or, at least, the reliquary inhabited by his spirit does, as his manifestation is said to be so horrible that it defies description.
* [[Spider Limbs]]: The Neberu when in high torment form.
* [[Super
* [[Transformation of the Possessed]]: Elohim with the proper lore can do this to their host.
* [[Vampiric Draining]]: All Elohim require Divine Faith to live and cast magic, and the only way the Fallen can obtain it is from humans, the image of God. For this, they can either reveal themselves to certain humans and let their Faith trickle to them constantly, or reap them for all their Faith in a one-time boost. Unlike vampires, demons don't actually expend Faith by merely existing.
