Options

Beast as Plot Device

What is a plot device character?

In this instance, the Beast has no stats. His strength is incalculable, his reflexes faster than light, his intellect greater than anyone else in the entire world, and his energy doesn't deplete. Plus as the Vessel for Lucifer, he can't die, and he's effectively indestructible.

If the PCs attempt to engage him in combat, he will win. Assume he can one-punch kill anyone he meets. The only being that can defeat him is Yahweh or Yesuha. His actions cannot be predicted or controlled. His plots affect the world at large on a daily basis. The PCs should feel like paper dolls standing before something truly powerful. His mind and soul are so dark, psionic PCs should be terrified of even touching upon it. Those that do should go completely insane.
