Demon blade rewrite

Demon Blade rewrite. Nicer version Here 

You start with Yourself, and a docile but mundane chariot

Skill: The afterlife, way of war and religion of a people. Usually long dead. 

A: Demon blade, Chariot, Soul harvest.

B: Soulcasting

C: +1 attack

D: Chariot of the gods


Demon blade: You are a +template weapon of your choice, you cannot be destroyed by mundane means. Though you cannot speak or move by yourself if your host is destroyed.

You roll your mental scores as usual. You use the physical scores of your host.

You may dominate any who wield you. If they are unwilling, it will take a week for them to be broken. If they are not broken, you make any rolls for actions they would not like at -2 and cannot use your own ability scores instead of their mental scores.


Chariot: Chariots are broken hosts, chariots gain [level] additional HD (this is instead of the normal levels you would get). Chariots can wield you expertly even if they do not have the expertise or physical condition (as in, if they are ill or too weak). You may relinquish partial and complete control of a chariot in order to use its physical or mental stats.  


Soul harvest: You harvest a soul when it dies after being cut by you (this does not need to be the final blow). You can hold [level] souls within you. The HD of the soul is X. You may heal your chariot by Xd6 as an action by consuming the soul. Angelic souls are not consumed, but are instead burnt out until the next sunrise or sunset. Demonic souls are returned to hell upon consumption. 


Soulcasting: You may instead cast a spell below by consuming a soul. You gain [level] spells from the list below. You can also earn spells by killing witches, warlocks, angels, demons, paladins or clerics (1 spell from their list that you do not already have, decided by dm). You cast the spells as a MU, with X/2 MD.  


Chariot of the gods: 

Your chariots may use +template for physical ability score modifiers instead of their own.
