Demonic Corruption

The longer a mortal soul remains in the Abyss or in contact with powerful Demons, the more it becomes corrupted by the Abyss.

As a character becomes more corrupted, they may become more demon-like. While these changes may open some doors, it will close others.

Unlike Infernal Corruption, Demonic Corruption is much more harmful to a mortal body and is more difficult to remove.

A player can gain up to 4 stages of corruptions:

• A player with 0 stages is uncorrupted
• A player with 4 stages is fully corrupted. They become an NPC under the DM’s control

Stages of Corruption may come from exterior forces or from the player themselves. When a character gains a level of corruption, roll on the corruption table
