Fiend

A fiend is someone who has made a dark pact with a creature of pure evil, a being from the darkness themselves. By creating this bond you allow this entity to reside within you, gifting you with their dark powers for as long as you do their bidding. Fiends tap into the power of the one they bonded with, vowing to bring pain, death and destruction to the mortal realm. 

In order to purchase levels in the Prestige Class Fiend, you must meet the following requirements. 

Demonic Pact
You have made a contract with a demonic being of evil, sometimes by choice and other times against your will. This creature of evil has taken residence within your soul, bonding itself to you and granting you a portion of its power. You can allow a small portion of the fiend's physical appearance to begin to bleed into yours, sometimes changing skin, eye or hair color. Your character Alignment now shifts from Neutral to Evil and cannot be altered (you will stay Evil regardless of other alignment altering affects).

Unholy Gifts
Upon unlocking this level you may choose one of the Master level spells from the Dark Domain shop to purchase for free. This will allow you to buy the spell like normal, but not have to pay its cost. You can pick any of the Master level spells and do not need the Dark Domain skill to gain or use the spell. 

Abyssal Darkness
The darkness within the fiend now flows through you, corrupting your soul and turning it black. All of your physical attacks now deal Dark damage in addition to their normal damage types, so your sword slices, arrows strikes and hammer smashes all deal Dark damage. In addition, you can choose to grow small claws and sharp teeth, making them more effective for dealing damage. Your physical attacks with these also deal Dark damage. Your attacks that deal Dark damage now deal double damage against those who are of the Good Alignment. 



Abyssal Infusion
The pact you have made continues to increase, the fiend gaining more and more control over your very body. You even find your self giving up or losing control to it every now and then. You can allow your physical appearance to continue to change as well, looking more like the fiend each and every day. Once per topic you can allow the fiend to take full control of you, granting you their strength and speed. For three post your speed is doubled, allowing you to move twice as fast as normal, and your strength is doubled as well, causing you to deal more physical damage for the duration. You also ignore Light damage from spells or attacks while in this form.

Invoke Fear
The fiend's presence begins to become apparent to others around you, giving off an unsettling aura of fear and dread. You can summon forth the demons energies to effect the environment, making anyone who can see you become scared of you. Non player characters and creatures will instantly fear you, choosing to flee and put distance between you. Player characters will find it hard to face you, doing their best to avoid you if they can. Those effected by this fear cannot take any offensive actions towards you, such as striking with a weapon or casting a spell. The fear will last for their next post and can be used twice per topic. 



Harbinger of Evil
You have now partially succumbed to the fiend, realizing its power over you is strong. The evil has spread through out most of your body, causing the fiend's unholy features to bleed into yours. Your physical appearance may continue to change, looking more like the fiend than yourself, gaining things like black eyes, red skin and even horns. You may also summon forth a pair of bat like demonic wings, allowing them to sprout from your back and remain for three post. These wings will grant you the ability to fly or use them in offensive and defensive ways. After the wings duration they will return back inside you and remain dormant. You can only summon the wings once per topic. 

Profane Command
Your influence as a being of darkness has become so powerful you can now influence others, slipping into their minds and corrupting their soul. You can choose a creature you can see, be it a civilian, a wild animal or even a summoned creature by someone else, such as an elemental, and posses their mind. For the next two posts that being will turn on its allies or owners and do your bidding, now protecting and attacking for you. If used on a player character they will find it hard to resist, being tempted to fall under the fiends influence as well, turning on allies or friends. This can only affect one being at a time. Good aligned beings will find it easy to resist this effect while Evil aligned beings will almost always succumb. 



Evil Incarnate
The pact has been completed, you have fused with the fiend inside you, allowing it control over your body. You may now gain any physical appearance changes, looking like the fiend for as long as you wish. The evil presence will often take over at random times, choosing to remain in control for as long as it likes. In addition to all of your physical damage dealing Dark damage, all of your spells are now effecting, allowing any of your damaging spells to deal Dark damage in addition to its other damage types. Your Dark damage from either spells or attacks also ignore resistance and immunity, preventing anyone from negating your Dark damage. 

Consuming Darkness
Now at full power the fiend is able to exert its presence on the world around it. It can cause dark energy to swarm enemies, inflicting minor amounts of damage and causing them to begin to go mad. You are able to drain the very life essence from someone, consuming its energy for your own. You can target a non player character or a creature and completely drain its life force. While this will not kill it, it will render that being completely useless for the rest of the topic, unable to fight or assist in any way. If used on a player character they will begin to feel extremely weak for a few moments, preventing them from casting any spells, be it offensively, defensively or even utility. This will take effect for two posts and can only be used once per topic. You will instantly heal yourself after consuming somethings essence, healing all minor and major wounds on your body.
