Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Demon-Blooded

Demon-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

A character with a demonic bloodline has one or more ancestors of demonic origin. The most common source of such a bloodline is a succubus, but any demon capable of taking humanoid form (and even some who cannot) might be responsible for for the character's unusual traits. Some demon-blooded individuals claim descent from the very Lords of Hell, with Gangyn, Halpas, Khil, Kivutar, Oxossi, and Sethra being the most frequently named culprits.

Characters with a demonic bloodline may bear some minor characteristic reminiscent of such an ancestor such as sinister glowing eyes, a faint smell of brimstone, or a love of brutality.
