Exorcist

You were once a member of the Order of Exorcists, an investigator, a healer, wrangler of the demonic, and wielder of divine power. Though you left the order, you know well the dangers and horrors of demons and unholy. You speak and read Liturgic.

  • Rations (3 uses)
  • Torches (3 uses)
  • Censer (d6)
  • Holy symbol (Turn undead (3 charges): weak undead must move away while stronger undead make a CTRL save. Very strong undead are immune. Recharge: A watch spent in prayer.)
  • Badge of your order: a Scapular of Saint Pencarrow (petty)

What tool is invaluable in exorcising demons?

  1. Cold iron chain. The chains glow white-hot when touching an outside presence or a possessed creature.
  2. Jug of holy water (10 uses).
  3. Holy Flame (as spell (petty), in Prayer Book (Grimoire, bulky)). A bright flame that is cool to the touch, but inflicts burns on outsiders like demons and fairies.
  4. Your hands. You can take 1 fatigue to lay on hands and heal 1d4 STR. Take gloves (petty).
  5. Anointing oil. Protects a creature from possession or control from any outside influence for a day. 3 uses.
  6. Heart Swap (as spell (petty), in Prayer Book (Grimoire, bulky)). Remove up to {dice} STR from yourself to heal another creature up to the same number.

What was your last case before you were forced out of the order?

  1. A noble’s teen child. Successful, but it uncovered a trend among the teens making pacts with a devil-witch. Take herbs (3 uses) you took from the witch. Burn (e.g. in the censer) to ward off undead and demons.
  2. Your sibling. A failure. Take the long sword (d10, bulky) wielded by the executioner sent to finish off your sibling.
  3. A crime lord. Cursed by a traitor. Take a mail coat (1 armor, bulky) you brought for protection
  4. The Archbishop. You uncovered that he summoned the demon himself to control it. Take a stack of documents (petty), indicating a vast conspiracy.
  5. A false possession. You were set up to condemn a patsy. Take a coal from the patsy’s pyre that they told you to take in a vision. It glows hot in the presence of magic.
  6. An Elf-lord. It was successful. The expelled demon now inhabits a mandrake root. It’s unfriendly, but 1/day, you can invoke its powers to cast Levitate, Immolation (d10+d10, fire, spreads), or Inflict Visions (CTRL save or suffer visions chosen by the wielder). Recharge: Converse with the demon for a watch. Starts with no charges.
