Default *Vapula's* Frankenstein Servitor attunment...

Eli's Midwife attunement allows the angel with the attunement to create a reliever from 1 force donated by the Midwife and one each from two or more other celestials (total resulting can not exceed the Midwife's Celestial forces.)

Vapula thinks it's a fine idea, it just needs some tweeking...

Vapula's Frankenstein attunement allows the demon with the attunement to create a demonling. Demons with this attunements are known as "Victors"

The forces for the Frankenstein can be acquired in many ways, but no more than one per demon (Vapula wants EXPERIMENTATION!) In all cases, the Victor must make a Roll against Intelligence to use them.
1) donated,
2) stripped from a demon in Trauma (Demon being stripped must fail a will roll -3 )*
3) stripped from an unwilling awake demon (Demon being stripped must fail a will roll +3)*
4) at time of soul death.

*(On failure must wait a day before trying again)

In order to support a demonling while it is being built, it must be fed one essence per day or it falls apart. Once the Demonling has reached the desired number of forces (total resulting can not exceed Victor's Ethereal Forces), the Victor must succeed in both a roll against intelligence *and* will to bring it to life.

The type of demonling brought to life will vary (This is Vapula after all), but will tend to reflect the "donor" forces. Also, the demonling is created full of essence and has a chance of both remembering songs *and* how it was created, so demonlings coming off the table and attacking the Victor is not unknown.

Note, Victors get a -1 reaction from *both* servitors of Lust *and* Death. Lusties think Victors are too close to Eli's realm and Saminga's Servitors consider them competition.

A Servitor Attunement that lets demons Force-strip other demons after applying a good strong Song of Celestial Charm.

Iiiiiiii don't see that really happening.

Have to agree with William that this is insanely rortable - and if a Vapulan isn't trying to rort it, then they are serving the wrong Word.

Effectively, Vapula already has a Frankenstein attunement: Reanimation.

"Rort"? Maybe gamer slang I haven't run into before?

I didn't say it was a *common* servitor attunement. Just like I imagine Midwife for Eli. The ability to bring a new entity into existance is pretty rare. Vapula probably has more Knights than Demons with this servitor attunement.

And getting hit with a strong Song of Celestial Charm isn't any fun for a Demon anyway, though Force Stripping makes it worse.

Maybe a modification that only allows a "Victor" to take one force a day? (and if a Demon can do a strong Song of Celestial Charm every day, then they've in *very* good shape anyway)

And Vapula seems by *far* to be the DP most likely to have an equivalent to Midwife...

Perhaps a Victor can make a Precision roll to snatch a Force liberated from any being by Celestial damage inflicted in any of the usual ways, whenever it causes Force loss, if the Victor is touching them (for a Corporeal Force), or in mental contact (for Ethereal or Celestial Forces).

This is still a very powerful ability, and is probably on the level of a Special Distinction.

Not doubting that. I thinking 14 forces *minimum*.

Oh, and any forces ripped from a Djinn, the Djinn doesn't even need a perception roll to locate those forces.

(In comparison with Eli's Midwife, where I would expect any Cherub who donated forces to want to attune to the new reliever)
