The Gatherer Demon - What to Expect
The Gatherer Demon - What to ExpectThe Gatherer Demon is the archetypal demonic tutor. This ancient trope has been around for centuries and still works today as a powerful archetype to use in campaigns of role playing games. The Gatherer Demon can act as a popular evil character for an investigator to find, but it can also be used by the PCs as an evil mentor.First off, a Gatherer Demon can be a fearsome adversary to a character. These fierceness is in their appearance, as they can stand up to very strong opponents. Their piercing eyes and claws may not make them appealing at first, but they provide damage resistance when the Demon fights back. They also can make an excellent guardian to their charge, as their physical strength is above that of other allies. The Gatherer Demon also comes with an interesting psychological ability, as it learns the skills of any of its charges.One weakness of the Gatherer Demon is that, while they can grow quickly, their life span is short. This means that while they are relatively tough, they won't last much longer than normal. However, this can be overcome, by changing the attributes of the Demon.To do this, remove the Attribute Change feature from the Demon. This will allow the Demon to perform its functions more effectively, as well as allowing it to learn more attributes. At the same time, it will make the ability harder to use but also help the Gatherer Demon to grow. When the Gatherer Demon grows, they will also be capable of growing into other Demon forms, as well as advanced tasks within the game world.This change might be a little daunting to your group, especially if you are starting out with a Demon. However, you can always opt to follow the more 'traditional' path. First, they should have a SenseMotive, so that the Demon will know what their enemies are up to. As the game progresses, the Gatherer Demon will be able to pick up on the information that the investigators aren't actively watching their every move. This sh ould eventually make for some exciting encounters for your party.The Gatherer Demon has two types of skills. The Demon Body Skill and the Demon Soul Skill. These have two different levels, which determine the function of the Demon. Higher levels of these skills have greater powers, and will ultimately be a more powerful opponent for the investigator.The Gatherer Demon is one of the most popular demonic characters for the investigator to find. It can be used to help the party reach goals, and to become more powerful. Whether they decide to take the traditional form, or choose to just go with the traditional form, the Gatherer Demon is still effective, and great fun to play.
