====Demogorgon====

The following abilities are common to the whole form of Demogorgon, not exclusive to either Aameul or Hethrediah.

'''{{Anchor|Alter Reality}} ([[Sp]]):''' Demogorgon has the ability to advance his portfolio. This is considered identical to the ''[[SRD:Wish|wish]]'' spell, but may only be used to produce effects appropriate to Demogorgon's portfolio or goals. Demogorgon may only use this ability once per minute.

'''{{Anchor|Duality}} ([[Ex]]):''' Because of the many personalities struggling for control of the main body, Demogorgon becomes capable of acting more efficiently than other beings, allowing it an additional standard action and immediate action each round in addition to all normal actions it can take. 

In addition, Demogorgon can attack with either both of its bite attacks or all four tentacles (but not both sets of weapons) as a standard action.

'''{{Anchor|Flesheater}} ([[Ex]]):''' Perhaps Demogorgon’s most fearsome power is literally and wholly consuming its foes by forcibly melding their bodies to its own, taking not only their flesh but also their minds and vitality in a last ditch effort to save itself. When it dies, Demogorgon attempts to consume any surrounding creatures within Medium Range (340 feet), which usually includes its killers. All targets must make a Fortitude save (DC 35) or be drawn into Demogorgon and fully assimilated into its body. Doing so permanently imprisons the creature’s soul and destroys their body, and in so doing heals Demogorgon by a number of hit points equal to the number of hit points the assimilated creature has left over. Use of this ability renders Demogorgon unconscious for 24 hours, assuming it survives its use.

'''{{Anchor|Godlike}}:''' Although Demogorgon is not a true deity, it has many of the powers of such. It can grant spells to clerics, and gives access to the [[Chaos (3.5e Cleric Domain)|Chaos]], [[Corrupt (3.5e Cleric Domain)|Corrupt]], [[Evil (3.5e Cleric Domain)|Evil]], [[Insanity (3.5e Cleric Domain)|Insanity]], and [[Vivisection (3.5e Cleric Domain)|Vivisection]] domains. Its favoured weapon is the [[Three Section Staff (3.5e Equipment)|three section staff]], and its portfolio is cannibalism, conflict, demons, and madness. 

Additionally, Demogorgon is immune to any attack that changes its form, mind-affecting effects, ability damage, ability drain and energy drain, unless such an effect comes from a creature that has a caster level or character level (or CR, for monsters) over 20.

Lastly, Demogorgon can burn off some of its essence to stop magic dead in its tracks. As a free action that can be used outside of its turn, Demogorgon can lose 55 hit points to counter any spell, supernatural ability or spell-like ability in Medium range, as if by [[SRD:Greater Dispel Magic|''greater dispel magic'']] (although it can counter supernatural and spell-like abilities as if they were spells). This ignores temporary hit points, and can be used any number of times. For any ability with an ongoing or permanent duration, this merely suppresses it for 6 rounds.

'''{{Anchor|Lord of the Abyss}} {{Su}}:''' As the Prince of Demons possessing the power of the former Queen of Chaos in addition to its own, Demogorgon’s power is capable of matching anything in the Abyss. It receives a +8 enhancement bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls, a +8 resistance bonus to all saves and a +6 deflection bonus to AC. Demogorgon also has maximum hit points per hit die.

'''{{Anchor|Ravage Form}} ([[Sp]]):''' As a full-round action, Demogorgon may bestow its ravage on a creature eligible to gain a level. That creature gains its first level in the [[Ravaged By Demogorgon (3.5e Racial Paragon Class)|ravaged by Demogorgon racial paragon class]]. If Demogorgon attempts to ravage an unwilling creature, it receives a DC 35 Will save to resist (Cha-based).

If Demogorgon wishes, he can attempt to share the senses of a creature that has at least one level in ravaged by Demogorgon. This works identically to a [[SRD:Scrying|''scrying'']] spell, except it must be centered on the creature in question. In addition, Demogorgon maintains a constant ''[[SRD:Telepathic Bond|telepathic bond]]'' (which reaches across any distance and plane) with any creature with at least one level in ravaged by Demogorgon. The creature doesn't get any say in the matter. Demogorgon may use either of these abilities at will, with a caster level of 24th.

Additionally, if any creature with at least one level in ravaged by Demogorgon attempts to affect Demogorgon or the area within 20 miles of him with any ability, Demogorgon may choose to use [[SRD:Dominate Monster|''dominate monster'']] on that creature as a free action that he can use even outside of his turn. The creature receives a DC 35 save as normal. This has a caster level of 24th, and the DC is Charisma-based.

As the Prince of Demons and the greatest of all demonkind, Demogorgon can also create [[Retriever (3.5e Racial Paragon Class)|retrievers]]. The process is identical to applying his normal ravage, but is subject to the usual restrictions of becoming a retriever.

'''{{Anchor|Spell-Like Abilities}}:''' At will -  ''[[Alien Limb (3.5e Spell)|alien limb]]'', [[SRD:Animate Objects|animate objects]], [[Ashe's Spell Seizure (3.5e Spell)|''Ashe's spell seizure'']] (can be used as a swift action), ''[[Avasculate (3.5e Spell)|avasculate]]'', [[SRD:Bestow Curse|''Bestow curse'']] (can be used as a swift action), [[SRD:Blasphemy|Blasphemy]], ''[[Blossom of Razors (3.5e Spell)|blossom of razors]]'', ''[[SRD:Chaos Hammer|chaos hammer]]'' (can be used as a swift action), [[SRD:Cloak of Chaos |cloak of chaos]], [[SRD:Confusion|''Confusion'']], ''[[SRD:Create Undead|create undead]]''<SUP>M</SUP>, ''[[SRD:Desecrate|desecrate]]''<SUP>M</SUP> (can be used as a swift action), [[SRD:Dispel Good|Dispel Good]], [[SRD:Dispel Law|dispel law]], [[Elush's Elemental Extraction (3.5e Spell)|''Elush's elemental extraction'']], [[Elush's Epiphyseal Erosion (3.5e Spell)|''Elush's epiphyseal erosion'']], [[Elush's Explosive Exsanguination (3.5e Spell)|''Elush's explosive exsanguination'']], [[Elush's Eye-Blasting Explosion (3.5e Spell)|''Elush's eye-blasting explosion'']] (can be used as a swift action), [[Erzebet's Skull Bomb (3.5e Spell)|''Erzebet's skull bomb'']] (can be used as a swift action), ''[[SRD:Eyebite|eyebite]]'', [[SRD:Greater Dispel Magic|''greater dispel magic'']] (can be used as a free action 3/round), ''[[Gutwrench (3.5e Spell)|gutwrench]]'', [[SRD:Insanity|''Insanity'']], [[SRD:Irresistible Dance|''Irresistible dance'']], [[SRD:Lesser Confusion|''Lesser confusion'']] (can be used as a swift action), [[SRD:Limited Wish|''limited wish'']], [[SRD:Magic Circle against Good|Magic Circle against Good]] (can be used as a swift action), [[SRD:Magic Circle against Law|magic circle against law]] (can be used as a swift action), [[SRD:Mirror Image|''Mirror image'']], [[SRD:Protection from Good|protection from good]] (can be used as a swift action), [[SRD:Protection from Law|protection from law]] (can be used as a swift action), ''[[Polymorph Other, Tome (3.5e Spell)|polymorph other]]'', [[Rapture of Rupture (3.5e Spell)|''rapture of rupture'']] (can be used as a swift action), [[Sasha's Separate Psyche (3.5e Spell)|''Sasha's separate psyche'']], [[SRD:Shatter|Shatter]] (can be used as a swift action), [[SRD:Spell Turning|''spell turning'']], [[SRD:Symbol of Insanity|''symbol of insanity'']], [[Torn From Within (3.5e Spell)|''torn from within'']], [[Turn To The Abyss (3.5e Spell)|''turn to the abyss'']], [[SRD:Unholy Aura |unholy aura]]<SUP>F</SUP>, [[SRD:Unholy Blight|unholy blight]] (can be used as a swift action), [[SRD:Word of Chaos|word of chaos]], 2/day - [[SRD:Summon Monster IX|summon monster IX]] (once as a chaos spell and once as an evil spell), 1/day - [[Apocalypse From The Sky (3.5e Spell)|''apocalypse from the sky'']], [[SRD:Astral Projection|''astral projection]]'', ''[[Avasculate, Greater (3.5e Spell)|avasculate, greater]]'', [[Phantasmagorical Image (3.5e Spell)|''phantasmagorical image'']]. Caster level 24th, DCs are Charisma-based (default 35).

'''{{Anchor|Tentacle Beast}} {{Ex}}:''' Demogorgon’s tentacles aren’t just for show; as a standard action, it can bore  into the ground with all four of its tentacles, rooting itself to the spot. Doing so makes Demogorgon nearly impossible to move from his current position, granting him a +20 circumstance bonus to Strength checks and saving throws to resist being moved.

In addition, Demogorgon’s tentacles may reemerge from the ground at any unoccupied point within Close range of it; each appendage is sessile, but takes up a single 5x5 square and has 10 feet of reach. A tentacle may attack and grapple as a casting of ''[[Holt's Clenched Fist (3.5e Spell)|Holt’s clenched fist]]'' (caster level 24th), but unlike the spell each has hit points equal to a quarter of Demogorgon’s maximum hit points (139 hit points by default). Destroying the tentacle does not harm Demogorgon directly, and the tentacles regrow automatically two rounds later.
