APOCALYPTIC FORM

The apocalyptic forms of demons are in fact partial memories of their true forms from the Age of Wrath and their time prior to the Fall. Given that Apocalyptic Forms are memories, they can resurface and change over time. Likewise, new traits can be picked up by the devouring of other's souls, allowing the victor to absorb the traits of their victim. The system for changing your apocalyptic form is based upon your Faith score. The cost of changing your form in experience is two times your Faith score, minus the number of traits the original apocalyptic form is valued at, plus the number of traits the new ability is worth. These costs are affected by whether they are high-torment or low torment abilities. Abilities with a * can only be high-Torment, while others may be either high or low-Torment. These traits cost one trait less if chosen as high-Torment powers. For example, if you take Wings as a high-Torment power, it is worth 2 traits (or 3 if the more powerful optional version), when calculating the experience cost. If the same demon buying high-Torment Wings (worth two traits) has a Faith score of 3, and they are replacing Claws/Teeth (worth one trait), the cost would be 7 experience traits (2x3-1+2=7). It is important to note that except for the case of purchasing the forms from a devoured foe, the demon may only purchase traits associated with their House, and the Common choices available to all. Common Form Abilities:

When she suffers aggravated damage, the player may immediately make a Simple Test to try to reduce the severity of the damage. If you succeed, you reduce the injury to lethal damage. Before making the test, you may choose to expend a stamina-related Physical Trait, allowing you to reduce injury on a win or a tie. Otherwise, you must win the test outright. Use of this power is reflexive; it does not count as an action. You may only attempt to use this ability once on any given attack. Thus, if you suffer two or more levels of aggravated damage from a particular attack, you may test to reduce only one level to lethal damage.

Before making the test, you may choose to expend a stamina-related Physical Trait, allowing you to reduce injury on a win or a tie. Otherwise, you must win the test outright. Use of this power is reflexive; it does not count as an action. You may only

Weather Sense (1 traits): The demon can sense changes in the weather as far as ten miles per level of Faith score in a radius around them.

Dread Gaze (4 traits): The demons countenance is so terrifying that her very gaze strikes terror in her opponents. By making a Social Challenge against your foe, you strike terror into your victim. If you succeed, the subject flees your presence and tries to avoid you for the rest of the scene or hour. If cornered, the victim will still defend himself, but he will do his best to escape you. The subject defends himself normally, but he must risk an additional Trait if he wishes to attack or act against you, just as if he were wounded. *Fiery Blood (4 traits): The demons blood burns like magma.

This may be done once a day per mortal. Beckon (2 traits): The demon is so beautiful that those who lay eyes upon him cannot help but follow him, entranced by his preternatural charisma. Any mortal who fails a Revelation test must follow the Devil as best he can, keeping the demon in sight at all times. The mortal snaps out of his reverie if he is attacked or simply shaken. The demon can choose to turn this effect off at will. *Corrosive Bile (2 traits): The demons spit is acidic, and can be spit as a ranged attack, against those within six steps of the player.

Shroud of Flames (2 traits): The demon is surrounded by a nimbus of flame which confuses his opponents. All opponents must bid one extra trait to attack the demon with both melee and ranged attacks. Spark of Faith (3 traits): The Devil can cause a mortals Faith to flare up with a touch. The Devil must touch her target to use this ability; the player then makes a contested challenge against the mortal, comparing the demons Faith to the mortals Willpower if there is a tie. If the demon is successful, the mortal heals one bashing damage per Faith point the demon possesses. If this is a high torment ability, the demon uses their Torment, rather than their Faith, and they inflict one bashing damage per Torment score if successful on the mortal. *The Host (2 traits): Fanged mouths appear on the characters body. The character automatically inflicts two levels of aggravated damage on anyone they are grappled with, at the beginning of each turn. When they are not otherwise occupied, the mouths whisper blasphemies in any language the character knows. Voice of the Damned (1 trait): The demons voice seethes with inhuman malice, granting a two trait bonus to any Intimidation tests.

*Disperse (3 traits): The demon can dissolve her body into a mass of maggots, spiders, insects, or other tiny creatures. Make a Simple test (Survival). If successful, the change is immediate, if a tie, it takes three turns. The demon can control the swarm, and can use them to fly (if capable of flying), to flow through small openings, or simply to terrify opponents. Attacks made in this form cause one Lethal damage. While in this form, bladed weapons and firearms cause bashing damage, while weapons such as clubs, which usually cause bashing damage, cause Lethal instead. Enhanced Survival (1 trait): The demon is 2 traits up on all Survival tests. *Frenzy (2 points): The Devourer flies into a rage, hurling himself at his foes again and again despite the pain of his wounds. The demon is immune to wound penalties during frenzy. The player must make a Simple test (no retest) or attack the closest person to them that round, friend or foe. This may automatically be avoided by spending a Willpower trait before the test. Immune to Poisons (3 traits): The demon cannot be harmed or affected by any source of toxin, natural, artificial, or supernatural. This includes alcohol, nicotine, etc. Natural Weaponry (3 traits): When purchased, choose between the following abilities: Claws/Fangs, Gaping Maw, Horns, Lashing Tail, or Spines.

In addition, the demons leaping distance doubles. *Primal Mind (3 traits): The Devourer can make contact with the small part of a mortals mind that retains its ignorance, that remembers what it is to live only to survive like a beast. To use this ability, the demon must physically touch his intended target. Then the player makes a challenge against the target, comparing the demons Torment to the targets Willpower if there is a tie. If the demon wins, the target loses access to all of their Abilities, except for Brawl, Dodge,

Devourers:

Use of this power is reflexive; it does not count as an action. You may only attempt to use this ability once on any given attack. Thus, if you suffer two or more levels of aggravated damage from a particular attack, you may test to reduce only one level to lethal damage. Thorns (1 trait): The demon is covered with sharp, black thorns all over its body, which pose a hazard to foes in close combat. Any attacker who hits the demon in melee must make a Static Physical Challenge against six traits, or take one level of lethal damage from the thorns. *Toxins (3 traits): The claws and saliva of the demon are poisonous. Either through a bite, or by clawing an opponent, a victim is forced to make a static Physical test, at the difficulty of the attacking demons Torment, or suffer one level of lethal damage.

*Chimerical Attack (3 traits): Once per scene, the demons control of illusions causes illusory forces to strike out at opponents in combat. As many chimerical assaults on a single target can happen as the demon has in Faith score. Each attack can be resisted by the victim (if they are demon or thrall) following the usual rules for resisting illusion. Each chimerical attack causes one health level of aggravated damage, though the chimerical attacker always loses on ties, and cannot retest an attack.

Night Vision (2 traits): The demon can see in total darkness as though it were daylight. *Rend the Soul (3 traits): The Fiend lays a hand on the target (and therefore must make a touch attack if necessary), and shows him, for one split second, how infinitesimally small he (the target) is in the grand scheme of Creation. Make a Mental challenge (Intimidation) versus the target. If successful, the target loses a number of temporary Willpower traits equal to half the demons Torment score.

Mortals and demons caught in the path of her exhalation forfeit their actions for the turn unless they make a static physical challenge difficulty 7. If they fail the test, they immediately must make a simple test, if this fails; they are also infected by a virus or disease at the storyteller's discretion. Mist (4 traits): The demon can summon up a concealing cloud of mist. Doing so requires a Simple test. The demon man obscure up to 100-square feet per Faith trait they possess.

Slayers:

*Aura of Dread (2 traits): The mere presence of the demon is disquieting, causing those within the Faith score of the demon to act last in combat, unless they succeed in a static Mental challenge versus eight traits.

The target can escape by spending a Willpower trait. They may then make a Physical challenge to break away as per grapple. If they fail to do so, they are unable to escape, and the power takes hold again at the end of the turn. This power has no effect on demons or supernatural beings which are already dead. Voice of the Grave (1 trait): The demon's voice echoes with the suffering of human souls. The demon is up two traits in Intimidation challenges.
