Liber Demonica (3.5e Sourcebook)/LD2
Chapter 2: The Demoniary
While the Abyss is a place of endless variety and constant experimentation, even it is subject to the laws of natural selection and also the whims of its strongest beings. As a result, while innumerable other species do exist, a few have become more dominant and more successful. These are described here. Addditionally, the most powerful entities of the Abyss can ravage those that they wish to transform, giving them additional powers.
The Outsider Type Revisited
There are some slight corrections that need to be made to the outsider type, which are described here. The corrections are bolded to make them easier to locate.
An outsider is a creature partially (or wholly) composed of the essence of a plane other than the Material Plane, but not of an elemental energy.
Features
Outsiders have the following features:
- A d8 hit die
- Good BAB (as fighter)
- All good saves (as monk)
- 8+Int skill points, x4 at 1st HD
They also have the following traits, unless noted otherwise:
- Darkvision 60ft
- Outsiders do not have separate souls. Thus, spells such as raise dead, reincarnate or resurrection don't work on them. It takes a limited wish, miracle, true resurrection or wish to restore it to life.
- Outsiders are inherently magical creatures. Their attacks, whether natural or manufactured, are always considered to be magical for all purposes, including for the purposes of DR and affecting incorporeal creatures.
- Proficiency with any weapons or armour listed in their entry.
- Outsiders do not need to breathe, eat or sleep. They of course can do these things, and many do them to appear similar to the mortals that they encounter or to simply show off to their underlings or rivals.
Additionally, native is now a subtype of outsider, which changes the following aspects.
- Native outsiders can be raised or resurrected normally.
- Native outsiders need to breathe, eat and sleep.

Touched By Their Lords: Demonic Ravages
Sometimes, the randomly-creative nature of the Abyss takes too long to do its work, and is too random for a certain demon lord, who wishes a creature more suited to their goals, perhaps immediately. Additionally, some demon lords like to show favour to more successful demons as a form of incentive. These favours and changes are termed ravages, and they work similarly to racial paragon classes that are only two levels long. A creature with one level in such a class is termed minor-ravaged and a creature with two is termed major-ravaged.
In order for a creature to become ravaged, it must be an outsider of chaotic evil alignment. No other creatures can enter ravaged classes. Additionally, a creature cannot be ravaged by more than one demon lord - they are exclusive with their favours, and don't hand them out lightly. Lastly, the creature must be physically injected with Abyssal essence, either by the demon lord themselves, or by another creature major-ravaged by the same lord.
