Alastor

The alastors are demons in service to Fashoona, god of brutality. They appear as towering giants covered in bloody spines and writhing tendril-like hairs, their pale dead flesh occasionally studded with screaming faces and spilling out eviscerated organs. It is said that their horrific forms are composites of the last moments of all their previously slaughtered victims. Clerics of Fashoona caution that those who are deemed feeble in the god's eyes yet claim they possess strength will be hunted by these spirits and absorbed into their bodies, which stand as a warning of the price of weakness. Those standing in the vicinity of these wrathful demons must struggle to avoid being overcome by uncontrollable homicidal urges. Alastors are also aptly called "demons of rage" and "agonisers".
== Benefits ==
=== Possession by Rage ===
Any creature coming within 60 feet of an alastor of the demon's level or less must make a Meditation (Mind Control) roll against the alastor's VIG Rating or be overwhelmed by uncontrollable homicidal urges which demand immediate outlet. Those who fail this roll are compelled to lethally attack the nearest organism for 3 rounds +1 extra round for every Boost the demon scored against their Meditation roll. This power Boosts on a 5, and does not affect warlocks, cultists, other demons or clerics of Fashoona.
=== Aura of Pain ===
Any creature striking an alastor with a short-reach attack or being struck by the demon itself must immediately make a Meditation (Body Control) roll against the beast's VIG Rating or experience agonising pain until the end of their next turn as they come into close contact with the alastor's profane form. This pain is so excruciating that the victim suffers a -3 penalty to all rolls for its duration.
