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.

Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Diabolic-Blooded

Diabolic-Blooded
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

For a character with a diabolic bloodline, an erinys is often the source. However, other devils with the ability to use a polymorph effect, such as gelugons or pit fiends, have been known to consort with mortals. Some with diabolic heritage claim descent from one of the Lords of Hell. All šotek claim descent from Ninkurra, so any goblinoids with a diabolic bloodline assert that it is due to her influence. Other Demon Lords who are said to have sired lines include Belial, Darmas, and Ishi.

A character with this bloodline may also possess tiny horns or unusually sharp teeth.

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.
