RPG Series 3.5 Revised - Abyssal Bound Souls

Abyssal Bound Souls
Demons in particular service to a Demonic Lord, Demonic Prince, or Demonic Queen
From the Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss, Pg. 83.


I hit upon a fit of inspiration after looking at a picture from the Fiendish Codex I. I intend to use it as a way of differentiating lower class demons that are in the service a particular demon lord or demon queen. These lower demons take the characteristics of their patron, although not uniformly so. It is the nature of the Abyss after all.

A second version is in the works for Abyssal Bound Souls. This version will be based on Mortal templates.
