AD&D - Demonic Possession Rules..


Listen Later

Happy Halloween everyone!

Demonic possession, often absent in D&D lore, allows powerful demons (level IV or higher) to control the bodies of mortals. Only specific demons can possess adventurers, requiring an amulet to remain nearby. Possession involves a saving throw, and a failed save leads to the victim being controlled by the demon. Exorcism is possible but painful, with varying outcomes for both the cleric and the possessed. Once exorcised, the demon cannot repossess the body, but it can return if certain conditions are met.

Highlights -🔑

  1. Demonic Possession: Only high-level demons can possess mortals. 👹
  2. Possession Mechanics: Requires an amulet and a failed saving throw. 🎲
  3. Exorcism Process: Painful for both cleric and victim, with various outcomes. ⛪
  4. Possession Effects: Victim retains armor class but uses the demon’s attack level. ⚔️
  5. Demon Control: The demon controls the victim’s actions without penalty. 🧙‍♂️
  6. Amulet Importance: The amulet’s presence is crucial for possession. 💎
  7. Death and Repossession: Demons can attempt repossession upon death of the host. ☠️
