Homebrew Demon Species Details
Servants to the Devil himself, Demons have been wreaking havoc on the mortal planes of existence since the fall of man. They feed off of the agony of humans, and have an insatiable thirst for making not-so-heavenly deals. In some lore, demons were created by Lucifer when he was cast out of Heaven and into Hell. Other lore states that they are the corrupted souls of the damned that have crawled their way out of the lowest planes of existence to get revenge on those who wronged them in their mortal lives. Really just depends on who you ask.

Deal Making
Demons are known for making deals with mortals. They can "grant' any "wish" that an NPC requests of them, and in exchange the Demon asks for the NPC's soul.
- Rules for Deal Making -
1.) A Demon must make a Persuasion check to persuade the NPC to take the deal (if they are hesitant).
2.) If an NPC accepts a deal from a Demon, the NPC must roll a d20. This is to determine how many years they have until their soul will be collected by the Demon.
3.) If the "wish" is to bring someone back from the dead, the NPC has a -5 to their d20 roll.
4.) Demons have Dis.Adv. when attempting to make deals with Priests or Holy Men.
