OTHER

DEMONS

Demons of suffic

ient cunning and power can bestow

boons, using

the boons' recipients as pawns. A de-

mon can grant

a special trait based on its type, as

s hown below.

BALOR

Fiery Soul. This creature has resistance

to fire damage. When

it d ies, it explodes; each creature within 10 feet of it takes fire

damage equal to its number of Hit Dice.

GORISTRO

Labyrint hine Recall. This creature

can perfectly recall any path

it has traveled.

MARILITH

Serpentine Reaction. This creature

can take an extra reaction

each round, but this reaction can be used only to make an op-

portunity attack.

NALFESHNEE

Guarded Mind. This creature

is immune to the fr ightened

condition.

DEMONI

C CAMBION S

Cambions spawned

by demon lords sometimes mani-

fest different abilities from a typical cambion.

Graz'zt is

notable among demon lords for the many

cambions he

has spawned

across the multiverse. Most famous among

them

is Iuz, who combined his father's abyssal heritage

and

his mother's peerless arcane tutelage to become

a demigod.

TURE S PELLS

~~~~~~~~~~~

Cambions have the Innate Spellcasting trait.

When

customizing

a demonic cambion, you can replace spells

in that trait

with ones of the same level from the list of

signature

spells in the boon entry of the demonic parent.

The cambion can use these spells once

per day each.

SPECIAL TRAITS

A cambion

descended from a demon can have the

special

traits conferred to that demon's cultists, as de-

scribed

in the demon's boon section.

Few demons consort with mortals, and those with the

charm or desire to usually grant

their cambion children

the Fiendish Charm ability. Cultists of Baphomet and

Orcus can also use foul rituals to infuse their master's

strength into a young or unborn child, yielding a cult

champion who can wield special abilities; a cambion

linked to Orcus replaces Fiendish Charm with Spawn

of

the Grave, and one

linked to Baphomet replaces it with

Horned One's Call.

Horned One's Call. When the cambion targets only one crea·

tu re with the attacks of its Multiattack, it can choose one ally

it can see within 30 feet.

That ally can use its reaction to make

one melee attack against a target of its choice.

Spawn of the Grave. At the end of each of the cambion's turns,

each undead of its choice tha

t it can see within 30 feet gains 10

temporary hit points, provided

the cambion isn't incapacitated.

In addition, this cambion can use its Innate Spellcasting

abil-

ity to cast animate

dead three times per day.
