I didn't think there is a need. But when I attempt some demon creation,I will let you know.Originally Posted by AsenRG
You give a very good base. From there you can add what you want to suit your needs. For example, I mentioned the Demonic Powers pdf. You can make a table or pick what you want depending on how powerful you want your demon to be. Tweek as you mentioned as far as rituals go,etc. Good stuff.
Thanks,

Yeah, I decided to leave the link with the Demonic Powers for the follow-up, if and when I decide to write it. My main goal was instead to get the themes of Change and Stability right.
Glad you like it, and I admit I might actually use Plant Girl in my next couple of sessions!

This looks like fun! Thank you for working it up!I aim to help!

Hope you have fun! And if you make a cool demon, you can post it in a spoilerblock here.
As you can note, the tables for Change and Stability are different. That is intentional.
Admittedly, I decided not to write a list of the qualities of the 20 gods, but there's always room for a part 2 of the post.
Couple of other elements you could add are Substance/Essence (demons may be of the Substance of one deity but the Essence of another), and also a table of demonic powers, as previously discussed.
Lastly, never rule out the seemingly incongruous results! "Sarku" and "courtesan": might be an icky combination, but before ignoring it, give some thought to how it might possibly work. I find with random generators it is often the seemingly implausible combinations that give the most dramatic results...
True. The unholy congresses in the bowels of the Temples of Sarku are the stuff of nightmares, or so I am told...

PS It's been mentioned before, but here is a reminder...See, The Man of Gold for some of the more horrid rites of the Temple of Sarku(some of The Professor's best writing)...

Yes, and perhaps such a demon is summoned to participate in such rituals.
Or perhaps her interests are rather different. Perhaps she delights in recruiting for Lord Srykarum's Legions of the Despairing Dead. In her own special way.
We had a player for a while out at Phil's who played a Sarku-worshipping courtesan. No idea why; she said that it sounded interesting to her, and we all left it at that.
+1...Hopefully, she doesn't go to pieces...!!!

You're welcome.
Yes, they could, but I'm afraid that would be repeating table 1Couple of other elements you could add are Substance/Essence (demons may be of the Substance of one deity but the Essence of another), and also a table of demonic powers, as previously discussed.
I'll make sure to mention the possibility in the follow-up, though.
Agreed on random generators. But "Sarku" and "courtesan" isn't incongruous - it's more of a "no way any of my players is going to summon that, and I don't see how their paths might intersect". It's useless (to me and my group), and I needed an example for "keep mostly in theme".Lastly, never rule out the seemingly incongruous results!

Other than that? In Exalted's setting, there are undead courtesans in the West. They're not even demons, just undead bound to the real menace. I know the option exists, I've just never seen it as even remotely useful.
Of course, you might use them as bait for priests of Sarku that you want to lure, but that's about it
I'm waiting for Man of Gold to be released in PDF, as always
I'm sure the character was popular at parties! It's basically a requirement.
Then again, I also guess she was mostly invited at the kind of parties my PCs wouldn't care to attend, unless it was to off someone. With so many priests of Sarku around, you could pass it off as "natural causes"!

Why not both?
And yes, you'd have to be either nuts or Eyloa...
Also, I'd forgotten about the Avalon Hill Black Magic Kit. Crom's hairy nutsack.
I don't care if you respect me, just buy my fucking book.

True; with him, there was a difference?Why not both?
Also, I'd forgotten about the Avalon Hill Black Magic Kit. Crom's hairy nutsack.Sheesh!!!
What?!? How could you forget the demon cards, and the fold up portable magic circle, and the offering counters, and the d6 for demonic reactions to being summoned? Fun for the whole family!
Or the other kit / game, with the fold-up cardboard coven - with what looked like the guy from Shipping, and one of the office secretaries in her nightie - and the cardboard dagger, and the cardboard chalice, and all the rest of what an aspiring - but cheap - spell-caster might need...
