Fiend Gifts

Curse Wound

MINOR GIFT

Traits: curse, evil, necromancy

Aspect fiend; Prerequisites The relic is a weapon.

Activate ↩ command; Trigger Your Strike with your relic deals damage to a creature within 60 feet; Effect The evil within your relic curses an enemy’s wound to ensure they won’t heal. The triggering creature must attempt a Will save or be unable to restore the Hit Points lost by damage from the triggering Strike until its next daily preparations. If you use Curse Wound on a creature already affected by your Curse Wound, your previous application expires.

Fiendish Defiance

MINOR GIFT

Traits: abjuration

Aspect fiend; Prerequisites The relic is a worn item.

The fiendish power of your relic offers you more protection against celestials and allows you to ignore harm. While wearing the relic, you gain a +1 status bonus to AC against attacks by celestials and resistance to an energy type corresponding to the relic’s fiendish origin (such as fire resistance from a devil). The resistance is equal to half the relic’s level (minimum 1).

Little Helper

MINOR GIFT

Traits: divination, evil

Aspect fiend

Your relic awakens to sapience, developing a personality (usually one that clashes with your own). Your relic has an alignment corresponding to the type of fiend associated with the item, precise vision and imprecise hearing each out to 30 feet, the ability to understand and speak one language you know, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma modifiers of +0. Your item’s total Perception and Will modifiers are equal to your proficiency modifiers in Perception and Will, respectively. It is trained in the Lore associated with its fiend type (such as Demon Lore), for a total modifier of 2 + the relic’s level. Unlike most intelligent items, the relic has no actions or reactions and can’t use any of its own activations.

Command Legion

GRAND GIFT

Traits: conjuration

Aspect fiend

Activate ◆◆◆ command, envision; Frequency once per day;

Effect Your relic opens a gate within itself, overwhelming your enemies with fiends. You cast 6th-level summon fiend, but summon two fiends instead of one, and you can command them both with 1 action to Sustain a Spell. If the relic has the profane fervor gift, this activation grants the effects of that gift as well, without expending its daily use. For the next minute, you can use the following activation.

Activate ◇ envision; Trigger One of the fiends summoned by command legion is banished; Effect You summon that same fiend again in an adjacent space. The fiend returns at full Hit Points and all conditions, spells, and other effects on it end before you summon it again.
