Rules for demonic / infernal posession?


Rules Questions


i'm having a brain reboot - are there rules anywhere that cover demonic (or any evil spirit) possession? I have an idea for a campaign twist and want to see if the details are covered in the rules anywhere but can't remember if I saw 'em in pathfinder rules or not.

Somewhere in Council of Thieves, in the Infernal Syndrome issue, IIRC.

Correct ;)

Another potential possesion tool is the Haunted one template in the Rival guide.


Shadow Demons get Magic Jar and invade the target's body instead of placing the target's soul in a vessel.

I shall go dig up the appropriate copies then. thank you gentlemen!


Weren't possession rules somewhere in one of the Books Of The Damned? Either the one about demons or the one about devils?

Not so much on possesion rules, although it touched on summoning, use of true names, and contracts.


The DnD 3.5 Book of Vile Darkness had some stuff that might be useable as well.
