1d30 Random Infernal Mutations Table For Your Old School Campaigns

S Out in the wastelands those adventurers who survive attacks & encounters with Hellmouths as well as Earthbound demons might develop infernal mutations. Many of these can continue to manifest with a 40% chance of appearing if a save vs wands or spells is not made each time the PC is exposed to dark supernatural forces.

These mutation will mark the NPC or PC as an outcast and the aura of the infernal will hang about the infected like sweat on a horse. Animals and some characters with only one point or less will treat the infected as if they were casting a fear spell unless appropriate saving throws are made. Holy symbols and all of the usual AD&D weaknesses that demons have including holy water and turning affect the PC.
