Cambion
Complex Monster, XP 4500
Level 10 (+5)
"Come now, Deacon. Are you sure you won’t reconsider? I have all of this…money I would like to donate to your church, and all you need to do is to enact this ritual for but a moment. You said it yourself, you tire of your prayers going unanswered. I happen to know some people who would just love to hear you out."
——Salanzu Blacktalons, Cambion Diplomat
Cambions favor corded armor, small, quick blades for quick kills, and light crossbows for escaping victims. Often accompanied with a slightly visible aura of shadowy resonance, these killers are efficient, sadistic, and surprisingly honorable. Often serving as the first line of communication between the lower planes and mortals, they tend to be diplomatic to all creatures, even those who are cruel or hostile. Once their enemy turns away, however, their true nature reveals itself.
