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.
