The Demonologist

New class for AD&D - Second edition

You will need the Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix. Planescape players will enjoy more this class, but it is useful for any other setting. I
didn't include the demons from Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix II in order to give you some spell to research…
This class was written by Zappo. Visit my site at http://members.xoom.com/zappo. All the demons' names and the books' names, as
well as Planescape are copyright of TSR inc.

The demonologist is a person who has decided to dedicate himself fully to the study of the denizens of the Lower Planes, and the
ways in which they can be used. Many clueless wizards tried to harness the power of fiends to their advantage, but almost all of
these, sooner or later, are annihilated by these forces that they can't control. A true demonologist is dedicated exclusively to this, and
with his experience he can use demons with a certain safety. At least, this is what the demons want him to believe. In fact, newbie
demonologists soon learn how to perform powerful summonings, but when they do perform them, they aren't yet skilled enough to
safely control the fiends they called. Despite the terrible risks of this career, the people who let themselves be attracted towards the
apparently easy power it offers are numerous, brilliant, and with a generally short life expectancy.

A demonologist is usually an evil NPC, but often he can be neutral or even good. There are actually demonologists convinced to be
able to use demons in favor of good. As a consequence, a demonologist can be of any alignment. However, good demonologist are
usually treated with suspect by the other forces of good. Depending on his attitude towards Law or Chaos, he can be more or less
facilitated towards summoning and controlling certain races of demons. A Lawful demonologist has a +2 in any roll regarding the
summoning and controlling of Baatezu, but -2 when he has to deal with Tanar'ri. A Chaotic demonologist has +2 with Tanar'ri and -2
with Baatezu. A Neutral demonologist has no modifiers.

The following races can be a demonologist: Humans, Evil or Neutral Half-elves (up to 10° level), Evil Elves (up to 9° level),
Tieflings (up to 12° level), Githzerai (up to 8° level). The dedication required for this activity prevents multiclassing. However, races
that can be mage/cleric can be demonologist/cleric if they are of evil alignment
(* = see Planescape.)

Primary requisites for a demonologist are Wisdon (minimum 15) and Intelligence (minimum 16). A naive demonologist lasts little,
and a stupid one even less. Being naive in treating with fiends can be deadly, but mistaking rituals is almost certain death.
A demonologist has THAC0, Saving Throws and skills of a mage. He can use as weapons knife and staff, and he can't wear armor or
shield. He can use any item reserved to wizards or clerics, but only the ones which summon creatures or deal with demons. He can
access the proficiency groups of General and Wizards.
Demonologists can cast spells from the Demonology School of Magic, described below. Only demonologists have access to this
school, and they can only use spells from this school. A demonologist starts with 1d4 spells of first level (at least one of these must
be a summoning), and gains another one whenever he makes a level, as a mage. When he reaches ninth level, he can research new
spells, as wizards do.

All demonologists have the following two skills:

Communication with Demons. The first thing a demonologist learns is how to speak with demons. Any demonologist knows the
tongues of Baatezu, Tanar'ri, Yugoloth, Gehreleth and of the other lesser races.
Knowledge of demons. Even newbie demonologists can understand what they are dealing with when they meet a creature from the
Lower Planes. Automatically, a demonologist can tell the common name of any fiend race he meets. If he makes an Intelligence
check, he can tell its most important power and which weapon can hit it (silver, iron, +1, +2, +3 or +4). He can't know anything of
unique demons such as the Lords of Baator and the Tanar'ri Lords.
When a demonologist reaches level 11, he can create demonic items using the Bind spell (see below).

In addition, they have certain defenses against demons: a fiend attacking a demonologist has a to hit penalty and the character has a
bonus to his saving throws against the abilities of that kind of fiend. These protections aren't in effect if the demon is in his own plane
(a Baatezu in Baator, a Tanar'ri in the Abyss, etc.).
The demons from which the demonologist is protected fall in seven categories:
First category: Lemures, Nupperibo, Manes, Larvae.
Second category: Spinagon, Dretch, Rutterkin, Mephit, Imp.
Third category: Shadow Fiend, Hordling, Black Abishai, Cambion.
Fourth category: All Lesser Baatezu and Lesser Tanar'ri not mentioned before, and Farastu
Fifth category: All Greater Tanar'ri and Lesser Yugoloth, and Kelubar.
Sixth category: All Greater Baatezu (but Pit Fiend) and True and Guardian Tanar'ri (but Balor), Greater Yugoloth (but Ultroloth and
Baernaloth) and Shator..
Seventh category: Pit Fiend, Balor, Ultroloth.

Demonology Spells
All spells of "Summon demon" type require the caster to roll 1d20 under a value calculated this way: Demonologist's level +
Demonologist's intelligence - Demon's intelligence. This value is modified by +2 if the summoner is Lawful and the demon is a
Baatezu, +2 if he is Chaotic and the demon is a Tanar'ri, -2 if he is Lawful and the demon is a Tanar'ri, -2 if he is Chaotic and the
demon is a Baatezu. There's another -2 for every demon the demonologist is currently controlling. Depending on the demon, other
modifiers might apply. If the demonologist passes this check, the demon is under his control. Otherwise, it's free for the duration of
the spell, and the it returns to its plane. Particularly for the most intelligent demons, the check should be made in secret by the DM: a
demon could have interest in feigning being submitted for a certain period.
If a demonologist successfully summons a True, Greater or Guardian Tanar'ri, a Greater Baatezu or a Greater Yugoloth, he can order
the fiend to reveal its True Name. In that case, the demonologist must roll the control check again; if he passes it, the demon must tell
him its name, otherwise it is free. If a demonologist knows the True Name of a demon, the next time he casts a summoning of the
same type, he can decide to call that particular demon again. This doesn't give evident advantages, but can become useful.
To give orders to a demon, one must speak in a high voice and clearly, in its tongue. When it is said that a demon tries to warp the
meaning of an order, it means that, for example, to the order of "put this item in a safe place", the fiend might take it to the fortress of
Malsheem, in Nexus, and leave it there. The demon will try in any way to interpretate the literal meaning of the order so as to bring a
disadvantage to the demonologist. A demonologist must be very precise in his orders, or limit himself to simple, direct,
unmistakeable requests.
If a demon fails a morale check for any motive, the control check must be remade immediately. If it fails, the fiend immediately
returns to its home plane. In addition, if the demonologist attacks or casts a spell on the demon, the demon has right to attack him
once or use one special ability. The demon can do this every time the demonologist attacks it or uses a spell or item on it.
For example, a Chaotic Evil demonologistof the 5° level with 16 Intelligence tries to summon a Lemure. A Lemure has 2 to 4
intelligence; the DM secretly decides that this particular demon has 4 intelligence. The control test is:
5 (level) + 16 (intelligence) – 4 (int. of the demon) – 2 (the demon is a Baatezu and the demonologist is Chaotic) = 15. The
demonologist rolls a 5: the demon is at his orders. If he rolled 17, instead, the Lemure would have been free to do what it wanted.
It is impossible to summon or control demons while being in their home plane!
There are two ways to summon a demon: 'lengthy' method and 'short' metod. In the first case, the casting time and the spell duration
are those indicated. In the second, the casting time is that of a normal spell, with an Initiative modifier equal to the number of rounds
which would be used with the 'lengthy' method. For example, a casting time of 11 rounds will become a casting time of 11. This is
very useful in combat, when there isn't much time to summon, but it has the disadvantage that the demon doesn't remain so long. The
fiend's permanence is reduced by ten times.: 1 turn becomes 1 round and a demon which, if summoned with the 'lengthy' method,
would remain 10 turns, remains 10 rounds.
Hasting summonings: a demonologist can decide to cast a summoning spell 'hasting' the procedure. This meanse that he can decide to
use less time to cast the spell, but he has -1 to the control test for every round (if using the 'lengthy' method) or initiative point (with
'short' method, but he must decide before rolling initiative) he subtracts. This because normally a demonologist takes all the
precautions to avoid that a summoned demon rebels, so as to have the maximum control roll possible. Willing, he can ignore partly
or entirely these procedures, reducing the casting time but also the safety of the summoning. The casting time can't go under 1 round
('lengthy' method) or 1 ('short' method).
It is possible to order a demon to summon more of his kind, if it can, but new demons aren't under the control of the demonologist,
and they will immediately know that the one who called them is under the control of someone else. All summoned demons have their
weapons.
A demon doesn't have a magic resistance roll against summoning, Protection Signs or Circles, but he has it against any other
demonology spell.
All charme and protection spells work on the demons of the specified category and also on the ones of all the inferior categories. So,
the Third Charme on Demons works on any fiend up to the third category, and the Fifth Sign of Protecion works on any demon up to
the fifth category.

This spell enables a demonologist to wield any weapon that is typical of a demon, even if his class wouldn't allow it or if the weapon

attack with the relative penalties.

the place to which it is bound. The demonologist must then give a simple order to the demon, of a number of words lower or equal to
the intelligence of the demon. It must then continually execute that order, until the demonologist frees it (for ex. "attack anyone but
me", "spy what happens and tell me", "clean the toilet except when I'm in there!", "cast hold person on everybody you see except me
and my friends"). The area to which the demon is bound can be defined in two ways: 1) a singlw room or cave. 2) a square area with

Bind
Components: VSM (varies) Duration: special
Range: special Saving throw: special
Casting time: 12 hours Effect: special
This spells enables the demonologist to creat magical items by binding demons inside them and forcing them to infuse the items with
some of their peculiar characteristics. The item must be of excellent quality, often built with rare and special materials and following
mystical procedures, different for every item. Depending on the power it needs to have, it can be more or less difficult to make: a +1
sword is relatively easy, while a ring which casts charme at will, or a magical armor immune to less than +3 weapons would be
almost impossible, though these powers are relatively common among demons. It is possible to make objects with limited versions of
the powers, such as a ring that casts charme once every day. It is duty of the demonologist to discover the correct procedures. With
Bind it is possible to infuse in an item one or more special abilities of the demon. The demonologist, after preparing the item, must
cast on it a Command (without demon) strong enough to affect the demon he is going to bind. Then he must summon the demon,
control it, block it in a Circle of Protection together with the item and cast Bind. The demon, while the demonologist casts the spell,
will free himself of control, but since the demonologist begins casting Bind, the Circle is considered permanent only for the demon to
be bound, until a day passes without the demonologist trying to bind the demon, or the demon is attacked, or an intelligent being
crosses the circle (as per First Circle of Protection). When the demonologist has finished casting Bind, the master must make a
percentile roll under this value:
Intelligence of the demonologist + Level of the demonologist – Intelligence of the demon – Hit dice of the demon.
If the roll fails, the demonologist can try again the following day, with a +1% cumulative to the test. If one day the rollis 96, 97 or 98
the Bind fails and the Circle of Protection is dispelled. The demon will probably try to attack the demonologist, if he thinks he can
win, and the demonologist is automatically surprised because he must recover from the 12 hours of casting. He must start again, all
the +1% bonuses due to the past days are nulled.
If the check results in 99-00, the bind seems to succeed but the item is cursed. The details of the curse are left to the DM.
If the check succeeds, the demon immediately disappears, being sucked in the item. Now the demonologist can choose one of the
special abilities of the demon (except psionics): the item will have that power. If the item is a weapon, instead of choosing a special
ability, the demonologist can make a weapon with a magical plus equal to the ability of the demon to hit magical targets. For
example if a demon can hit targets which can be hit only by +2 or better weapons, a weapon can be made +2 by binding that demon
inside it. In the same way, an armor can be made magical by binding a demon that requires to be hit the same bonus as the plus of the
armor. A demon that can be hit by +2 weapons or better can be used to make a +2 armor.
If the roll is one or two points over the check value, the bind works anyway but the item is intelligent, of the same alignment and
intelligence of the demon, and an ego equal to twice its catgory. The item can communicate as an intelligent magical item, depending
on its intelligence. It can only be used by people of a similar alignment, as for the other magical items. A demonic item can be
intelligent without being a weapon; in that case it tries to control its wearer when it is used or worn. For the shock, for 1d6 months,
the demon won’t remember anything of what happened, but after that it will have a great desire of revenge against the demonologist.
If a demonic item is destroyed, the demon instantly returns to its home plane. If the item is destroyed in the demon’s home plane, the
fiend appears, free.
