Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Dæmon-Blooded

Dæmon-Blooded

A character with a dæmonic bloodline has one or more ancestors of daemonic origin. The most common source of such a bloodline is a mezzodæmon, but any dæmon capable of taking humanoid form (and even some who cannot) might be responsible for for the character's unusual traits. Though very rare, some dæmon-blooded individuals claim to actually be descended from one of the Lords of Hell, most often Ishi or Vaßatar, but very rarely someone will assert they are a descendant of Lyßa.

Characters with a dæmonic bloodline may bear some minor characteristic reminiscent of such an ancestor such as a very subtle dark aura that surrounds them, a faint smell of burning ash, or a love of duplicity.
