FEAT DESCRIPTIONS Each of the following feats is possessed by at least one of the elder evils described later in this book.
Abyss-Bound Soul [Vile] You have pledged your immortal soul to a particular demon lord in return for a gift that aids your evil works in life. Prerequisite: Evil Brand, Thrall to Demon.
Benefit: Your evil brand incorporates the personal symbol of your demon lord patron, who watches over you from the Abyss. You gain a +2 bonus on saving throws made against spells that have the good descriptor. Additionally, a tiny portion of your patron’s power infuses your body, granting you an additional benefit. The exact benefit gained depends on who your patron is, as given below.
Abominable Form [Vile, Deformity] You revel in the ruination of your flesh, drawing power from your disturbing deformities. Prerequisite: Willing Deformity. Benefit: Living creatures with fewer Hit Dice than you that can see your undisguised form are afflicted by disgust.
