Shifting: Shifting from subrace form into their Abyss Demon form is quite painful, the change called, 'Demonic Quickening.' It is painful because their demon form tears through their flesh to discard of their subrace shell while bones, muscles, tendons and innards mutate. The shift into Black Demon form is far less painful. Their Black, or Shadow Form, resembles their subrace form exactly, only it is jet black, equipped with claws and fangs, the eyes, even the whites, and teeth are even black. The shift back into subrace form is far less painful and known as diminishing.' It exhausts them nevertheless, and they seldom shift back unless in the safety of their lair. In subrace form they can eat human foods, but in demon form they prefer raw meat, especially human, warm off the bone. They can shift at will but sunlight forces subrace form shift.

    Shadow Demon Weaknesses

  • Light Elements and Electrical Elements, Divine Powers and Weapons imbued with those same powers, are used in their destruction or banishment to Acheron. It is their soul that must be destroyed or banished. When banished they are sealed within The Lower Kingdom's demi planes.
  • Holy Relics: repulse them if of a patheon they once adhered to.
  • Dark or Blood Magic: actually strengthen them.
  • Sun Bane: Shadow Demons cannot maintain demonic form in sunlight and shift into subrace form.
  • Subrace Form: They have all the same stats they had in subrace form and are either mortal or quasi-immortal. This means their health (HP), strength and stamina is lowered to subrace state, and that though they do not age, they can be slain by mortal wounds unless they had a geis (WoD) in subrace form.
  • Transient Death Taint: If demon is killed three times transiently they develope a 'Taint of split Lives.' This results in the demon not recollecting anything between shifting from demon form to subrace form. Demon form remembers nothing from life as subrace form, and subrace form remembers nothing from life as a demon.
  • Subrace Fatality: If subrace form is slain, demon reverts to Abyss Goat Demon form and subrace form is lost. Demon must possess a new subrace form to shift to Black Demon and humanoid form.
  • WoD: Destruction of soul
