HYPERBOREA / Daemon possession

**Posted by mavfire** 4/05/2023 7:39 am

So, after reading some more on the Magic Items of Hyperborea I noticed that the Staff of Life Essence has a property “perform exorcism” intrigued, I noted that there is also a spell called Perform Exocism (pg. 217 3E). My question is this, where in the rule book does it discuss how daemons possess characters or NPC’s? Looking under Daemons I didn’t see it.

Secondarily, how would or have any of you ruled on such things.

If I am completely missing something here, just point me in the right direction and call me dense.

I don't believe this is addressed in the Hyperborea rules. I would probably borrow the "demon's amulet" procedure from page 16 of the original Monster Manual.

I didn't intend for it to be something that is codified, but the solution offered by BA23 works well enough, if you wish.

I didn’t think I missed it, just couldn’t find it because it wasn’t there….

BA23: I shall refresh myself with MM I pg 16
