Bind Hellish Familiar

Effect: You spend an hour in deep meditation, calling on the forces of hell to provide you with a servant. At the end of your meditation, you utter a brief incantation. If the forces of hell approve of your offering, it disappears and is replaced by a Hellish familiar (either random or selected based on the offerings, GM discretion). If you accept the familiar (and it accepts you), it becomes forever bound to you, using a tiny fraction of your life force to fuel its own.

This ritual works in the same way as the Bind Familiar, except that is binds any familiar from the Hellspawn List. The familiar additionally has Hitpoints equal to twice your Healing Value and can speak and communicate in a language of your choice. If you already have a familiar when you cast this ritual, you may reduce the cost to 1 Stamina loss and 1 Resolve loss if your current familiar is offered in sacrifice to the Hellish familiar (your current familiar is unbound either way).

See Familiars for more rules and details on how they function.
