[edit] Demonic Champion
A Demonic Champion is a mortal who serves a demon of the abyss - whether through choice or servitude, a Demonic Champion exists to fulfill his master's will.
[edit] Making a Demonic Champion
The Demonic Champion is a powerful fighter, with the ability to cast a small amount of evil spells and summon demons loyal to it's master.
Abilities: The Demonic Champion relies on charisma for most of his class features, and as a fighter benefits from high constitution and strength. Wisdom is the least important attribute for the Demonic Champion.
Races: The most common race to follow the path to damnation is human due to their adaptive and opportunistic nature, closely followed by half-elves. Dwarf Champions are rare due to their stalwart approach to life. Other races are equally likely to turn to the path of darkness.
Alignment: Most Demonic Champions are evil, generally leaning towards a neutral evil stance. There are no good Demonic Champions.
Starting Gold: Starting gold; 6d4 x 10 gp (150 gp).
Starting Age: Moderate.

[edit] Class Features
Demonic Champions are characterized by their allegiance to Demon Lords, and depending on the Demon Lord they follow, will have different class features. All of the following are class features of the Demonic Champion.
Allegiance
At character creation, Demonic Champions must choose one demonic patron to follow for the rest of their lives - choose carefully!
The three main Lords are The Dark Prince Graz'zt, Demogorgon, Prince of Demons, and Orcus, master of the undead. At level 1 (standard allegiance), Demonic Champions gain the following abilities based on their allegiance:
Graz'zt - A level 1 follower of Graz'zt gains proficiency with heavy armor and the tower shield.
Demogorgon - A level 1 follower of Demogorgon gains Natural Armor (+1)
Orcus - A level 1 follower of Orcus gains a +5 modifier to Use Magic Device checks and can use 'detect undead' as a spell like ability.
Smite Good
The Demonic Champion can smite good a number of times per day equal to half his level, Smite good works as smite evil, but instead is used on creatures of good alignment. It does extra damage on a melee/ranged attack equal to the Demonic Champions level + their charisma modifier.
Improved Allegiance
By level three, the Demonic Champion has risen in favor with his patron. The bonuses are as follows:
Graz'zt - The Demonic Champion gains a +4 modifier to any charisma-based social interaction (for example a diplomacy or bluff check).
Demogorgon - The Demonic Champion's summoned demons have +4 to their strength and constitution scores.
Orcus - The Demonic Champion gains the rebuke undead ability in the same way as an evil cleric.
Summon Demon
A Demonic Champion of sufficient level can summon demons loyal to their master to help them achieve the master's goals. The demon is summoned as if by a 'Summon monster' spell. The Demonic Champion can summon a demon only if his levels in Demonic champion are equal to or greater then the hit dice of the demon he is attempting to summon.
Favor of the Patron
A demonic champion that gains this class feature gains the following according to their allegiance:
Graz'zt - The Demonic Champion can now intimidate in combat as a move action.
Demogorgon - The Demonic Champion gains two natural claw attacks, which each do d4 damage, and gain a further +1 to their natural armor.
Orcus - The Demonic Champion gains a +2 circumsance bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls made against any creature with the undead template
Greater Allegiance
A demonic champion that gains this class feature gains the following according to their allegiance:
Graz'zt - The Demonic Champion suffers no penalty to attack rolls for using a tower shield, and gains a +1 bonus to the DC of any of their mind-affecting spells..
Demogorgon - The Demonic Champion gains a bite attack (d8 damage) that they can use in combat in addition to any other attacks they make in a round.
Orcus - The Demonic Champion gains a +2 modifier to all concentration checks.
Ascended
The Demonic Champion is now counted as among the ranks of demons - his social interactions with other demons improves (+4 bonus to any social interactions with other demons). He is also able to petition his master for help - once per day, he can re-roll a single dice, but he must accept the second result even if it was worse than the first.
Demonic
The Demonic Champion is now so high in the favor of his master that he gains the half-fiend template in exchange for his fiendish template. He is also counted as a true representative of his master for the purpose of social interactions.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency:
The Demonic Champion is proficient with all simple and martial weapons. He is also proficient with light and medium armor.
Spells:
Demonic Champions use charisma to determine how many spells they can cast a day, how many they know and the power of their spells, which are divine and spontaneous (they need not be prepared in advance). The save DC against a Demonic Champion's spells is calculated by 10 + Charisma modifier + Spell level. Demonic Champions cast domain spells exclusively - that is, they can only choose spells from the cleric domain spell lists. A Demonic Champion's Allegiance affects which domain spell lists they can choose spells from:
Domains of Graz'zt
Charm, War, Chaos and Evil domains.
Domains of Demogorgon
Strength, Destruction, Chaos and Evil domains.
Domains of Orcus
Magic, Death, Chaos and Evil Domains.
Demonic Champions choose all of their 0 Level spells from the cleric list.
