The being was once a host to a Demon or Devil but has somehow overthrown the possession and now is a creature beyond its base race.

Alignments: Chaotic or Lawful Good.

Redeemed start out as a specific race but earn stat/skill bonuses depending on alignment/possession.

Penalties:
-The vulnerabilities from the base race remain and they become vulnerable to holy/light as well.
-If they harm a non-evil being they immediately suffer a temporary stat reduction of -1 across the board. The recovery of this requires an act of redemption.
-If they kill a good aligned being they permanently suffer -1 to a random stat.


Benefits:
-the Redeemed keep the benefits of their base race.
-the Redeemed has resistance to negative, disease, and poison.
-the Redeemed can focus on their past possession to invoke one of the following conditions: levitation, enhanced recovery, or resistance to weapon. However this costs mana to invoke and drains movement to maintain.
-the Redeemed can summon darkness about it which can not be penetrated by infravision, standard light sources, or detect invisibility once per day.
-an act of Redemption only can be invoked in combat, once per day, and results in one of the following: transferring of all damage from the target good character to themselves as a % of total hp of the target (ie if the target has 1% hp remaining so will the Redeemed after the transfer), transferring at a cost 3/4 maximum hp from themselves to the target good character to a maximum of %50 increase above max, or transfer its resistances to the target good character but at the cost of 3/4 of the Redeemed's max hp.

The Redeemed have suffered greatly in their life so they only have the capacity to become warriors and even so are hindered by only being able to develop a single weapon specialization and a single legacy.

Once Redeemed an individual becomes a beacon for the Light.
