Physical Description[edit]

The appearance and physiology of a Devil varies from one to another, as their shape and bodily structure often have to do with the "name" they embody. Most Devils possess human limbs, faces, bones, and other body parts, such as the Snake Devil's mouth being made of interlocking human arms, even their fears wouldn't indicate organs or limbs, given the Tomato Devil and Grape Devil both possess human eyes and limbs despite being based on plants.

Origin[edit]

Devils are born in Hell. All Devils are born with a "name" that correlates to a concept. These can range from highly tangible (Fish, Tomato) to entirely abstract (Future, Curse). The concept does not have to refer to something that exists; there is no indication that ghosts, zombies or angels exist in the world, yet all these names have corresponding Devils. Each name is unique to its respective Devil, though some overlap based on specificity is possible as there have been both a War Devil and a World War II Devil. Devils manifest according to the collective consciousness surrounding their names (for example: the Gun Devil appears to be constructed out of guns and has gun related abilities). They are the embodiment of the fear that "name" represents, so as long as that "name" instills fear, they continue to reincarnate.

Devil Names[edit]

Devil names are really simple, they always revolve around the name of their fear following by the word "devil". However, some devils hide their identities with human names, such as the control devil.

Dread Empowerment[edit]

The power of devils comes from the fear humans possess for them.

Dread Tiers

Dread Tiers are used to represent how afraid the population is of you, the more you have the stronger you are!

Initial Dread Tiers. All devils start with initial Dread Tiers, caused by the amount of fear they invoke. Their Dread Tiers are listed below their racial features.

Gaining Dread Tiers. Whenever a creature becomes frightened of you, you gain 1 Dread Tier. Additionally, you can gain Dread Tiers by causing horrible acts and as long as someone witnesses it and are frightened by it


Horrific Action Dread Tiers Gained
Threatening or something equally as horrible +1 Dread Tiers
Violence or something equally as horrible +2 Dread Tiers
Murder or something equally as horrible +3 Dread Tiers
Mass Murder or something equally as horrible +4 Dread Tiers

Additionally, depending on the amount of dread tiers you have, may also determine different permanent benefits you receive


Dread Tiers Benefits

800 You gain an additional amount of Fear Boons equal to your Charisma
1,000 You gain a +2 to any ability score of your choice, including its maximum

Losing Dread Tiers. Whenever you do actions that make humanoid creatures appreciate you (GM discretion), you lose 1 dread tier. If your Dread Tiers reaches -100, you die outright, with no way of being revived due to your name invoking no fear anymore. Depending on how bad your dread tiers are, also give you detriments depending on the number

-100 You die outright

Dread Tier Maximum. You can have an amount of Dread Tiers equal to half your level times 100.

Devil Powers. Devils naturally have their very own unique powers; you gain new devil features at levels 1st, 3rd, 6th, 10th, 14th, and finally 20th. Additionally, these powers can’t be used for free, requiring Devil power uses.

You have a number of uses for your Devil Power equal to your Dread Tiers divided by 20 (rounded down) + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). You regain all uses on a short or long rest.

Devil Power Calcutaion. if a feature from your devil power calls for an attack roll or saving throw, you will calculate that in the following ways.

Devil’s Contract[edit]

Starting at 1st level, the most powerful and essential thing about devils is their ability to make contracts. As an action while you're with a willing creature, you can make a contract with them. In the contract, both must offer something and both must accept the conditions. As a devil, you can offer part of your power to said creature, allowing them to use one or more of your devil type features depending on the contract. The creature can offer things such as their lifespan, one of their body parts, their ability to do something.

Design Note: While there are contract examples below, you can exchange about anything with another creature as long as both have agreed with the contract.

The things that you can exchange in the contract are:

Quick Summoning. You allow the creature to call for your aid once it needs it. As an action the creature can summon you until the end of its current turn, making you do one action before being desummoned.

Weapon. You grant the creature a weapon made out of your body, it can be any type of martial or simple weapon, although if it is a ranged weapon you won't provide ammunition for it. The weapon damage dice tier is increased by a number of tiers equal to your Charisma modifier at the time(Example: d8->d10->d12->2d8). Additionally, you may also allow this creature to use one of your powers when attacking with the weapon.

The things the creature can exchange in the contract are:

Limbs. The creature sacrifices one or more of their limbs, leaving that limb at 0 hit points and counting as if it was "removed". The total amount of hit points said limb(counting both to break and to remove it) had goes to a pool. As a free action, you can remove any amount of hit points from the pool and regain an equal amount of hit points(this cannot go above your maximum). After using all of the pool the limb of the creature will be fully removed, leaving an empty spot on where their limb used to be.

Lifespan. They can grant part of their lifespan to you in exchange for using your powers. Whenever the creature uses your power or the weapon you have granted them, they must pay a X amount of their lifespan, which is decided when you two make a contract. You may use Lifespan in the following ways detailed in Lifespan Contracts.

Skills. The creature chooses an amount of levels they have in their class up to your Charisma, these levels do not need to be continuous and do not need to start at 1. They lose any features other than Ability Score Improvements and Extra Attacks that they gained at those levels, and you gain any features lost in this way. Any features gained this way that scale with level now scale with your pure devil level, and any spellcasting modifier it would normally use is instead your Devil Power modifier.

Vitality. The creature will lose a number of hit die of it's choice up to your Charisma modifier, reducing their hit points by the maximum of those dies. Those hit dies will be transferred to you, and your maximum hit points will increase by the maximum of those dies.

You can have a number of contracts equal to your dread tier maximum at any given time.

Fear Boons[edit]

Also 1st level,your increasing devil powers let you do many different things. You choose two of the Fear Boons detailed at the end of the class description. You gain an additional 2 fear boons at 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th levels.

Hellish Defense[edit]

Finally, at 1st level, your Devil nature makes you harder to damage. While not wearing armor or wielding a shield, your AC is 10 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier + your Constitution or Charisma modifier.

Rabid Strikes[edit]

At 2nd level, your devilish nature makes you a monster at natural attacks. You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed:

  • You can roll a d6 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike. This die changes as you gain Devil levels, as shown in the Rapid Strikes column of the Devil table.
  • When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action.

True Terror[edit]

At 3rd level, you have an aptitude in scaring humans. Whenever a human makes a saving throw against being frightened by you, the roll is reduced by your proficiency bonus.

Ability Score Improvement[edit]

When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 12th, 16th, and 18th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack[edit]

Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, when you use the Attack action during your turn. At 15th level, you can attack thrice instead of twice. At 17th level, you can attack four times instead of thrice.

Resistant[edit]

At 7th level, your strength as a devil allows you to resist certain area effects, such as a blue dragon’s lightning breath or a fireball spell. Choose one of the following ability scores:

  • Brawn - Strength
  • Evasion - Dexterity
  • Endurance - Constitution
  • Intuition - Wisdom
  • Discernment - Intelligence

When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a saving throw of the chosen ability to only take half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

Second Intentions[edit]

At 9th level, through your many experience of making contracts you learned some tricks about misleading people into going into contracts that's not actually beneficial for them. You gain proficiency in Persuasion or Deception, and expertise in case you were already proficient in them. You have advantage on Persuasion or Deception checks to make humans accept your contracts, and they roll their Insight checks with disadvantage when trying to find your true intentions with the contract unless they have already made a contract with you before.


Powerful Fear[edit]

At 11th level, your ability to terrify humans has evolved to another level. Whenever you gain a Dread Tiers, you gain an additional amount equal to half your Charisma modifier (rounded down).

Terrifying Critical[edit]

At 13th level, your attacks have become more terrifying to humans. Whenever you land a critical hit, you may roll an additional dice of damage. Additionally, the creature hit by the critical attack must make a wisdom saving throw against your devil save DC. On a failure they frightened for 1 minute, being able to remake the save at the start of its turn. On a success, they are not frightened.

Near The Pinnacle Of Fear[edit]

At 19th level, your devil prowess has almost reached its peak. You can pick two feats you meet the prerequisites of that aren't background feats.

Lord Of Fear[edit]

Finally at 20th level, you have reached your peak as a devil, becoming a true king of fear. You gain a +4 to either your Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, or Charisma. And the maximum for that stat is increased to 24.

Origins of Dread[edit]

Among Devils, there exists a rarefied caste whose origins predate human history and whose fear transcends mortal understanding. These are the Primordials—a collective term for the Primal Devils, born from humanity’s oldest, most intrinsic terrors, and the Four Horsemen, incarnations of death and ruin who have endured across cycles of life and death. Whether born of ancient instinct or apocalyptic truth, their power is such that even Devils quake in their presence. They are not hunted. They are survived.

Design Note: If you as a DM feels that the background feat is too powerful for your players but still want to allow them to be a Primal or Horseman, you may allow them to pick the Devil Types without the background feat.

In order to pick one of the following Devil Types, you must have the Origins of Dread background feat.

Primal Devil Types[edit]

These are Devils that have existed since the dawn of human fear—manifestations of primal terror and existential truths. Referred to as the Primal Devils and the Four Horsemen, they embody concepts so deeply rooted in the human psyche that their presence defies natural law.

"Neither Chainsaw Man nor War Devil are mature enough to talk to me. Time to have them grow up.", source [20]

Horsemen Devil Types[edit]

These are Devils tied not to primal fear, but to the inevitable unraveling of humanity. Known as the Four Horsemen, they embody the great apocalyptic forces—Control, War, Famine, and Death. Unlike other Devils, they are not shaped by instinctive terror, but by the dread of domination, destruction, and mortality itself. Their power is not in fear alone, but in shaping the end of all things. These are not Devils born from panic alone—they are the ones who ensure there is something to fear.
