Demonbinder

“

By the eight names of Lolth, I invoke thee. By the eight curses of the Flesh-Carver, I command thee. By the eight dooms of the spider queen I summon thee.

”

Prerequisite: Warlock, Dark pact

In becoming a demonbinder, you sacrifice your immortal soul for the instant power granted by the abyss. You draw demonic agencies inside yourself, triggering vile transformation that bestows not only a sampling of a fiend's power, but also leaves a resemblance to that fiend. Constant exposure to these creatures leaves a stain on your soul so foul that no act of restitution will ever cleanse it.
