Actions/Abilities/Traits:   (OSR)

 

Special

|Change Shape

You have the ability to assume the appearance of a specific creature or type of creature (usually a humanoid), but retains most of your own physical qualities. You cannot change shape to a form more than one size category smaller or larger than your original form. This ability functions as a polymorph spell, but you do not adjust your ability scores (although you gain any other abilities of the creature you mimic). Unless otherwise stated, you can remain in an alternate form indefinitely.

 

Special

|Change Shape

Detect Good Detect Magic Disease Fast Healing You can Detect Good as a constant ability. Any Good creatures, items, or other entities within 60' glow visibly.

 

Special

|Change Shape

Soul Lock Once per day as a full-round action, a cacodaemon can ingest the spirit of any sentient creature that has died within the last minute. This causes a soul gem to grow inside of the cacodaemon's gut, which it can regurgitate as a standard action. A soul gem is a tiny-sized object with 1 hit point and the same AC as this creature. Destroying a soul gem frees the soul within, though it does not return the deceased creature to life.

 

Special

|Change Shape

Telepathy You can mentally communicate with any other creature within 100 feet that has a language. It is possible to address multiple creatures at once telepathically, although maintaining a telepathic conversation with more than one creature at a time is just as difficult as simultaneously speaking and listening to multiple people at the same time.

 

Special

|Change Shape

You can Detect Magic as a constant ability. Any magical creatures, items, or other entities within 60' glow visibly.

 

Special

|Change Shape

Disease-Bite-Injury; save Death; frequency 1/day; effect 1d2 Wisdom damage; cure 2 consecutive saves. In addition to the normal effects of the disease, as long as a victim is infected, the cacodaemon can telepathically communicate with the creature over any distance (as long as they remain on the same plane).

 

Special

|Change Shape

You regain hit points at 2 per round. Fast healing does not restore hit points lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation, nor does it allow a creature to regrow lost body parts. Unless otherwise stated, it does not allow lost body parts to be reattached.

 

Special

|Change Shape

Fast healing continues to function (even at negative hit points) until a creature dies, at which point the effects of fast healing end immediately.

Ability

Soul Lock

(death, divine, necromancy) Once per day, a cacodaemon can ingest the soul of a sentient creature within 30 feet that died within the last minute. When it does, the cacodaemon grows a fist-sized soul gem (Hardness 2, HP 8) in its gut and can regurgitate it at any time as an Interact action. Destroying the gem frees the soul within but does not return the deceased creature to life. The caster of a spell to return a creature to life whose soul is trapped within a soul gem must succeed at a DC 30 Religion check. On a success, the soul gem shatters and the creature is returned to life as normal for the spell. By using an Interact action, a fiend can ingest a soul gem it is holding, condemning the soul to the fiend's home plane. The fiend gains fast healing 5 for 1 minute.
