Fiends Of The Cosmos

GMs may wish to customize the fiends used in their games by tweaking their immunities and energy resistances. Perhaps it’s more fitting for a certain setting that devils are repelled by fire or demons do not sleep. A good way of managing these changes is to assign a value to each immunity or energy resistance that a creature possesses (these values will henceforth be referred to as “immunity points”). The GM may exchange resistances or immunities for others worth an equal number of immunity points, as detailed below.

Defensive Ability	IP Value
Resistance 10 to one energy type (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic)	1
Resistance 20 to one energy type (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic)	2
Immunity to one energy type (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic)	3
Immunity to fear	1
Immunity to charm effects	1
Immunity to disease	1
Immunity to poison	1
Immunity to death effects	2
Immunity to pain effects	1
Immunity to nonlethal damage	1
Immunity to sleep effects	1
Immunity to mind-affecting effects	3
Immunity to curse effects	1

Exceptional Resources (Ex): The abyss-born tyrant’s ability scores are calculated using a 20 point buy and he possesses wealth as an 18th-level PC. This increases his CR by 1.
Sadistic Strike (Su): Cambions excel at causing pain and anguish. Cambions always treat any weapons with which they attack (including natural weapons and spells with attack rolls) as if they had the Improved Critical feat for the weapons.
Sinfrenzy (Su): Every cambion carries an excessive capacity for one of the seven classical sins, determined at the moment of the cambion’s birth and depending on the nature of his humanoid parent’s greatest sin. Once per day for a number of rounds equal to his Hit Dice, a cambion can embrace his sin and enter a frenzied state as a free action. While a cambion is in this frenzy, his land speed increases by 10 feet and he gains a +1 bonus on Reflex saves and attack rolls. These bonuses do not stack with those granted by haste or similar effects, but due to his class levels the abyss-born tyrant also increases the save DCs of all of his sphere abilities by 1 while in a sinfrenzy.

Known by as many names as there are stars in the sky, the Abyss-Born Tyrant has woven himself deep into the tapestry of history. The Tyrant has played the roles of king, soldier, scholar, and even god, whatever was necessary to ensure his continued power and survival. Even without his legions of demonic followers at his back, the Tyrant is a force to be reckoned with, utilizing centuries of experience and a bevy of ancient secrets to expand his power further. His ultimate ambitions are a secret he hides jealously.

The Abyss-Born Tyrant tends to prefer the Raging Demon or Valiant Knight personas in combat, relying upon his mighty greatsword in conjunction with Brutal Strike and Cryptic Strike. Rarely does the Tyrant fight alone, rather surrounding himself with an entourage of demonic and undead minions whom he can order around. Powerful as he may be, the Tyrant is not stupid enough to risk himself and will often utilize the magic of the Old Man or “Wise” Mage personas when on defense.

Special Abilities
Protective Aura (Su): Against attacks made or effects created by creatures of an alignment directly opposed to the angel, this ability provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws to anyone within 20 feet of the angel. Otherwise, it functions as divine pressure and stricture consecrate effects, both with a radius of 20 feet (caster level equals angel’s Hit Dice). The angel may change the effects applied by these consecrations or renew them as a standard action
Stun (Su): If an astral deva strikes an opponent twice in one round with its melee weapon, that creature must succeed at a DC 25 Fortitude save or be stunned for 1d6 rounds. The save DC is Strength-based.

Angels are the emissaries employed by the gods, a role mortals most often associate with the virtuous celestials. Neutral and even evil deities often feel the need to make their will known, however, and feel that angels fulfill valuable duties effectively. Evil angels most often peruse the courts of evil deities, helping to strike agreements and compacts between their malevolent masters.

Special Abilities
Draining Weapon (Su): A thanadaemon’s energy drain attack functions through any melee weapon it wields.

In a multiverse where immortals war eternally, the agents of death must sometimes take a more direct role. Enemy to demons, devils, and celestials alike, thanadaemon warlords excel at slaying their fellow outsiders and ensuring the final death of their souls. Many have become notorious across the planes as mercenaries, pledging their blades to whatever devil, demon, or mortal offers them the most valuable reward.

Thanadaemon Warlords are more than capable of fighting at range with their destructive blast, but prefer to engage enemies up close, teleporting in to unleash ghost strikes, destructive blasts, and Fear charms through their blades. Thanadaemon Warlords often focus on a single target above all others, healing themself as they exterminate their target.

Aura of Havoc (Su): A gallu’s presence wreaks havoc, infusing battlefields with elements of chaos and entropy that disrupt careful coordination and tactical plotting by manipulating fate and chance. This aura extends to a 30-foot radius around the gallu. The aid another action can never grant bonuses in this area, nor does flanking grant bonuses to hit in the affected area (although flanked foes remain susceptible to sneak attack damage). A creature summoned into this area by any creature other than a demon must succeed at a DC 26 Will save to avoid being confused for 1d4 rounds. Creatures with the lawful subtype or who have sworn an Oath of Loyalty to a lawful being must succeed at a DC 26 Will save each round they begin their turn in this aura to avoid being nauseated for 1 round. Demons ignore the effects of a gallu’s aura of havoc. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
Concealed Transformation (Su): A gallu gains a +8 racial bonus to Disguise checks to appear human while in its base form. When transformed using the Transformation feat, it retains all of its other abilities (as per the Anthropomorphic Transformation talent) and gains the following traits: Bite Attack, Extra Head (cannot be flanked), and Evasion. These abilities are factored into the gallu’s statblock above, as they rarely fight in their base form.
Protection Talents: A gallu begins every day by casting both Deflection and Resitance aegis on itself. These effects are factored into its stat block.
Rain of Blood (Su): As a standard action once per minute, a gallu can command the wounds of all creatures within 30 feet to erupt into a gory deluge of blood; any wounded creature in the area of effect immediately takes 3d6 points of damage from the rain of blood and must succeed at a DC 31 Fortitude saving throw. Failure indicates that the damage becomes bleed damage and the affected creature becomes staggered from the pain as long as the bleed damage continues. Creatures that are immune to bleed damage are immune to this ability’s effects. The save DCs are Constitution-based.

Even the gods themselves cannot rule unquestioned. The gallu are bestial demons who have mastered the arts of combat and infiltration, using these gifts to hunt down and destroy any being who believes their domain of the multiverse to be supreme. Ages of fighting mighty heroes and demigods have refined the gallu’s forms and magics to a deadly perfection. Employing their great speed and ability to negate teleportation, gallu charge into battle and savage their enemies with their blades and bites. Their aura of havoc helps them to sow disarray among their foes and their rain of blood causes trouble for injured spellcasters.

Special Abilities
Energy Drain (Su): A succubus drains energy from a mortal she lures into an act of passion, such as a kiss. An unwilling victim must be grappled before the succubus can use this ability. The succubus’s kiss bestows one negative level. The kiss also has the effect of a suggestion spell, asking the victim to accept another act of passion from the succubus. The victim must succeed at a DC 22 Will save to negate the suggestion. The DC is 22 for the Fortitude save to remove a negative level. These save DCs are Charisma-based.
Profane Gift (Su): Once per day as a full-round action, a succubus may grant a profane gift to a willing humanoid creature by touching it for 1 full round. The target gains a +2 profane bonus to an ability score of his choice. A single creature may have no more than one profane gift from a succubus at a time. As long as the profane gift persists, the succubus can communicate telepathically with the target across any distance (and may use her suggestion spell-like ability through it). A profane gift is removed by break enchantment or similar effects. The succubus can remove it as well as a free action (causing 2d6 Charisma drain to the victim, no save).

Few demons could rival the notoriety of the succubus, the shapeshifter which utilizes carnal pleasures and delusions of power to sap the resolve of mortals and drive them towards evil. The dark-haired temptress is but one of countless forms these creatures take; succubi cater to every variety of mortal life and so assume bodies of every conceivable gender and species. It is unknown if succubi obtain pleasure from their ventures, but most will say that this sort of satisfaction is not a priority for them. Succubi rarely fight alone, relying upon charmed followers to do most of their fighting. They prefer to grapple unsuspecting or flanked targets while slowly draining their life.

SQ infernal contract, infernal investment

Special Abilities
Binding Contract (Su): All contract devils carry numerous lengthy contracts draped over their horns or within their numerous carrying cases. They can wield these contracts like whips, but deal lethal damage regardless of the armor bonus of their target. A contract devil modifies attack and damage rolls when using a binding contract by its Intelligence modifier, not its Strength modifier (this equates to a +7 bonus for most contract devils). Wounds created by a binding contract resemble horrifically deep paper cuts and cause 1d6 points of bleed damage. A contract devil can use its binding contract to disarm and trip foes as if the contract were a whip. If it is itself disarmed of the contract, the devil can rearm itself with a new contract as an immediate action.
Constrict (Ex): A contract devil can constrict an opponent grappled by its binding contract, dealing 2d8+4 points of piercing damage.
Infernal Contract (Su): As a full-round action, a contract devil can produce an infernal contract for a single living mortal creature. This contract allows the contract devil to bestow any number of Oaths (and corresponding Oath boons) upon a mortal who signs it (a full-round action). The mortal must sign its true name to the document of its own free will. The Oaths sworn and Oath boons gained must be made clear by the contract. For every Oath that a creature signs as part of any infernal contract, they are held to that oath by an Oathbind effect from the Fate sphere (this oathbind ignores any immunities or resistances the target may possess to the effect).
Infernal Investment (Su): As a subclause of all infernal contracts, any creature carrying an item crafted by a contract devil or who has sworn an Oath of Loyalty to the contract devil or its superiors (including those who have forsworn their Oath) automatically fails their saving throws against the contract devil’s Divination sphere effects.

Contract devils are the accountants, bursars, and lawyers of the multiverse, keepers of covenants and agreements in every form. Mortals, archfiends, and even gods call upon their expertise in ledgers whenever a deal must be set down as permanently and effectively as possible. This insight into arrangements and wordplay even allows a contract devil to bargain with magic itself, producing a variety of items which represent special favors and privileges allocated by the multiverse. Contract devils are quick to depart combat but may employ their binding contracts to severely wound targets, taking bleeding foes hostage to negotiate with their fellows.

Note: Deals with the Devil

As a player and a GM, it may be tempting to create unique mechanics for players selling their souls or striking bargains with fiendish powers in exchange for unique abilities, forbidden knowledge, or fiendish baubles. Pathfinder has already attempted this through their Infernal Contract mechanic, but such integrations are ultimately unnecessary in an environment such as Spheres where players are given a great deal of control over how their character operates. Characters wishing to reflect some sort of fiendish bargain with their character’s abilities may consider the following options, among others.

Classes: Several classes have inbuilt changes or risks integrated into their class feature that could be constructed as a fiend’s influence taking hold. A shifter’s distorted form may stem from a connection to some lower plane or a thaumaturge’s forbidden knowledge could take the form of dark speech of incredible power. A summoner’s eidolon may be an agent set from some horrific realm to watch over the character.

Casting Traditions: Fiendish power often takes a toll on its users, a toll which may be reflected through drawbacks such as Addictive Casting, Draining Casting, Unsettling Casting, or Painful Magic. One’s fiendish taint may also be a more constant presence that can be reflected through the Innate Curse or Witchmarked drawbacks. On the opposite end, boons such as Draw Magic, Overwhelming Power, and Sanguine Empowerment can represent the corruptive and captivating might offered by fiendish magic.

Talents: Fiends, just like any creature, may have a vast array of abilities with distinct thematics. A character may employ Smiting Blast to scorch their foes, twist themselves in strange ways with Aberrant Body, uncover dangerous secrets with Augury, or distort destiny with Tug Fate. The Conjuration sphere is filled with vectors for fiendish power, as a character might bind permanent fiendish companions or invoke a variety of fiends using Call Planar Creature. Fiendish power has taken an infinite variety of forms across folklore, so talents will rarely interfere with a character’s thematic.

Oaths: If a character actively serves some sort of fiendish master, they could swear an Oath of Loyalty to reflect the increased power stemming from their agreement. Oaths against Mercy or Oaths of Offerings, Ritual, and Secrecy are also particularly fitting for the servants of foul extraplanar patrons.

Feats: Damnation Feats are an obvious place to start, but numerous other skill-boosting feats such as Deceitful or magical feats such as Basic Magic Training could be themed as fiendish knowledge put to use. Soulfire may also be utilized to represent the toll fiendish power takes on one’s form.

Equipment and Crafting Traditions

Items crafted by fiends may be corrupting, avaricious, or otherwise spiteful. They may have drawbacks such as Clingy, Heretical, Oath-Bound or Sacrificing. It may have properties like Binding or User-Bound that restrict its use for specific purposes. Users may be rewarded with boons like Cheap, Holy Relic, or Self-Contained.

It is not necessary to codify the fate of a character’s soul into their mechanics. Whether or not a character is damned to a certain unsavory afterlife has no impact on how strong, intelligent, or capable they are in life. As a result, players should not be able to exchange their soul for increased powers that possess no mechanical opportunity cost. Souls may be part of an agreement to obtain any of the above abilities, but the time and energy spent on sealing this deal should be reflected by the character taking a feat or talent or spending their expected wealth on associated items. If a character strikes a bargain for power, the GM may give them an opportunity to redesign their character, perhaps exchanging feats, casting tradition, or even entire class levels to reflect their new loyalties or patron.

Outside of the context of rebuilding their character, it may be possible for characters to exchange favors with fiends, performing tasks for these extraplanar evils in exchange for their assistance. For example, a devil might save the character’s life while requiring them to murder an enemy of the devil at some point in the future. Should they renege, the character may incur the wrath of the fiend and perhaps its allies (fiends may have Aristeia feats or Contingencies set to activate when fighting a creature who has broken a deal with them). Fiends should usually be wise to the ways of mortals and as such get the better end of any deal.

Imps are subtle agents of evil, small devils who spread malice through whispered words and spilled secrets. It is said that mighty devils begin as Imps to teach them of guile, Hell depriving them of physical and magical power so that they might learn to use their infernal abilities intelligently. The ambition of these minor devils makes them particularly attractive as familiars; most conjurers find that eager partners compliment their own methodical leanings. Imps generally avoid combat, but are quick to employ their poisonous stinger and Illusions to stop a foe from fighting back.

Special Abilities
Dexterity Drain (Su): The otherworldly teeth and tongue of a denizen of Leng deal 1d6 points of Dexterity drain with a bite. Constructs, elementals, and other creatures that do not possess flesh are immune to this effect. A successful DC 19 Fortitude save reduces the Dexterity drain to 1 point. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Planar Fast Healing (Su): A denizen of Leng maintains a connection to Leng at all times, and when away from Leng, it has fast healing 5. It loses this ability on Leng or in areas where planar connections do not function. If killed, a denizen’s body dissolves into nothingness in 1d4 rounds, leaving behind its equipment. A slain denizen reforms in Leng, similar to a slain summoned creature; it can only be permanently killed if its fast healing is negated.
Unusual Anatomy (Ex): A denizen’s internal anatomy varies from individual to individual, and has a 50% chance to treat any critical hit or sneak attack against it as a normal hit.

Watching the material world from afar, a distortion lord performs twisted experiments upon environments and sapient beings alike. These plots often play out over centuries or even millennia, with the distortion lord only crossing into this world to begin new endeavors or end those it deems unsuccessful. Distortion lords rely primarily on their Alteration and Mind sphere effects to cripple their foes, but they are more than capable of brutalizing more resilient quarries with their Distortion Aura and whip attacks.

SQ wonders of the ages

Special Abilities
Heat (Ex): An afarit’s body deals 1d6 points of fire damage whenever it hits in melee, or in each round it grapples.
Wonders of the Ages (Su): A number of times per day equal to their Charisma modifier (usually 3), an afarit may exchange one of their magic talents for another magic talent that they meet the prerequisites for as a full-round action.

Ancient beings of wind and flame, afarits have long served powerful mages as couriers, warriors, and servants. Many of these beings resent their servitude and tend to look down on mortals, humiliating or slaughtering any reckless enough to cross the outsider. Like a desert storm, an afarit constantly moves at incredible speeds, often using their Alteration abilities to transform into massive elementals or reduce their opponents to bestial forms. Their pride as warriors usually stops afarits from employing their teleportation or possession abilities in combat, but survival may mean sacrificing their pride.

SQ covert (a specific type of humanoid)

Special Abilities
Covert (Ex): Every passage appears to be a specific race and gains a +10 bonus to Disguise checks to appear as a member of that race. In addition, passages do not detect as outsiders when targeted by effects that discern creature type (such as the divine unnaturals divine), instead appearing as a creature type of their choice. Passages automatically succeed at Perception checks made to pierce the disguises of other passages.
False Reality: Passages gain the Illusion and Mind spheres as bonus spheres and use their Hit Die as their caster levels for these spheres. However, they cannot select talents from the Alteration, Conjuration, Creation, Destruction, Fate, or Nature spheres (this does not stop them from mimicking abilities of these spheres with abilities such as create reality).
Mark of Scheming (Su): Creatures affected by the dastard’s shadowmark take a -5 penalty on Will saves to resist a dastard’s scrying attempts. The dastard treats any space within 50 feet of a marked target as a teleport beacon which they can teleport to.
Mastery of Tales (Ex): Passages are immune to illusion effects and mind-affecting effects and can perceive through any illusion.
Murder Most Foul (Su): A dastard draws power from dramatically heinous acts, often resulting in complicated death traps. Whenever a dastard kills a conscious intelligent creature using a coup de grace (performed either by the dastard themself, a creature conjured by the dastard, or a trap of the dastard’s creation), the dastard gains a +2 morale bonus on all d20 rolls for 24 hours.
Shadow Shaper (Su): Passages gain the shadowmark, shadowstuff, and create reality class features of a fey adept whose level equals the passage's Hit Die. A passage may choose to make a shadowmark permanent, although permanent shadowmarks do not deal damage and only apply penalties to saving throws against the abilities of passages. These shadowmarks can be removed by the break enchantment spell or similar effects. A passage may maintain a number of permanent shadowmarks up to their Charisma modifier.
Telepathy: This telepathy is rarely used to communicate with mortals, but is employed liberally to communicate with other passages to coordinate their actions.
You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me! (Su): Whenever a dastard would be reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, they may spend an additional spell point to create an illusion as an immediate action. These illusions may include the dastard rocketing into the horizon while loudly cursing those who defeated it or a building collapsing to conceal the dastard’s remains. If no creature recognizes the effect as an illusion for 1 round, the dastard is teleported away to a safe location of the dastard’s choosing as per True Teleport where the dastard slowly recovers.

Dastard passages serve as agents of mayhem and uncertainty, committing horrendous acts to create tension. Many take forms that reflect a culture’s anathemas of dishonor and vileness, priding themselves on their ability to arouse disdain with their mere presence. They often work to drive heroes to action by putting innocents in danger or engaging in petty sadism to provoke a rise out of mortals. Most will brag incessantly and put up a flashy fight, but almost all of them are willing to humiliate themselves in order to survive or escape. Rarely does a dastard fight fair, relying upon feints and intimidation to inhibit a foe’s ability to fight back.
