The Sufferer

The Sufferer is the sole minor plate still in common circulation amongst Creation’s occult circles. A demon sufferer loathes in itself the weakness that its Yozi masters share, the same weakness that allowed them surrender. It has no pride to sustain it and no freedom. A sorcerer may only apply this template to a demon with Resistance 3 or more. It gains Limit whenever it knows surcease from suffering or learns to cope with the pain it feels. The sorcerer can reduce its Limit by torturing it into incoherence, though she must invent new methods to circumvent its ability to cope.

At low Limit, the Sufferer’s self-hatred ensures total servitude, but if not kept at a -2 health penalty, it gains Limit daily. As its Limit increases, it suffers not enough and begins to self-mortify. It must be kept at a
-1 health penalty or gain Limit daily. At high Limit, it turns its suffering outward, and while the sorcerer
need not keep it wounded to ensure loyalty, it begins to share its pain with those around it.
