Demonhide CloakFront

1 armor, warm, magical

A tattered cloak, stitched from a motley patchwork of unfamiliar hides and leather. Shifting odors waft from it: damp earth, ozone, musk, sulfur, rust, rot.

It is not a glamorous garment. Anything but.

When you wear the Cloak, its armor applies against demons in all cases, even if their attacks are piercing or ignore armor.

When you draw up the hood of the Cloak, you see clearly in darkness.

When you wrap the Cloak tightly about your person, you pass unnoticed by all so long as you move calmly and carefully and keep out of direct, harsh light. In retrospect, those you pass may recall a strange smell.

When you flay the hide from a demon, tan it, and sew it onto the cloak, mark 1:

Progress marks

When you make the last mark, you unlock the mysteries of the Cloak and can use The Flesh Remembers (see reverse).

Reverse

The Flesh Remembers

When you first encounter a demon and search the Cloak's memories for its like, roll +nothing: on a 10+, the flesh of such a creature is present in the Cloak—you receive a vision of how it was defeated; on a 7-9, choose 1 from the list below.

  • The flesh of such a creature is present in the Cloak—you receive a vision of how it was defeated, but mark a Consequence
  • The flesh of such a creature is not present in the cloak; you learn nothing

When you have marked 3 Consequences, you gain the following move:

Unholy Visage

◇◇◇ When you take the appearance of a demon, roll +CON: on a 10+, hold 3 Guise; on a 7-9, hold 1 Guise; on a 6-, hold 1 Guise and mark a Consequence. While you hold Guise, all perceive you as a demon, and magic that affects demons affects you, too. Spend Guise, 1-for-1 to:

Maintain your appearance in the face of divination or revealing light

Understand any language you hear, and reply in kind

Shrug off harm that your demonic form could ignore

Maneuver in a way consistent with your demonic form: flying, leaping, oozing, flitting as a shadow, etc.

The Cloak

bloodthirsty, demon-wise, extraordinary, magical

Cost chaos and wanton destruction (Loyalty ◇◇◇ )
Instinct to bicker and argue (with you, with itself)

  • Reveal a dark and terrible secret, or part of one
  • Manifest a minor demonic effect
  • Possess you in your sleep back

Consequences

Mark consequences as they apply.
