World of Warcraft FEL COMPANION	Aug 23rd, 2008 7:58:22 pm - Subscribe
Demons are powerful creatures, but they have an innate sense of hierarchy. Those of the lesser order are naturally submissive to those of the higher. It is possible for a mortal with skill in the darker aspects of the arcane to supplant a demon’s loyalty. A demon stolen in this way is a warlock’s fel companion. At 1st level, the warlock may choose a arkhound or imp as her fel companion. She must sacrifice a 1st-level spell slot to do so. She can regain the spell slot only if she permanently abandons the fel companion. No mental bond exists between master and servant, but a fel companion understands any language that the warlock speaks. Dismissal and Abandonment A warlock may dismiss a fel companion into the Twisting Nether as a swift action. (See More Magic & Mayhem, Chapter 3: Power Overwhelming for a description of swift actions.) The warlock can undertake a ritual of summoning to bring it back, which requires 10 rounds of concentration, at the end of which the fel companion appears in any square adjacent to the warlock. Performing a ritual of summoning provokes attacks of opportunity, and if the warlock takes damage during the attempt he must attempt a Concentration check (DC 10 + damage dealt) or fail. A fel companion reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, or one that is more than 50 feet away from its master for longer than 5 minutes, is forcibly dismissed; the warlock cannot recall it for 24 hours. After this time, the warlock can recall the creature with the ritual described above, and the companion has full hit points. A warlock may also permanently abandon a fel companion, which allows him to regain his spell slot or choose a new companion. A warlock may abandon a fel companion (as a free action) that is already dismissed, but abandoning a fel companion does not automatically dismiss it. An abandoned demon holds no loyalty toward its old master, and may attack the warlock if they meet again. Index851b68fa
