Slave Gift, Elric

[DamonJynx]

A couple of questions regarding this gift;

• 1. To use this gift does the character need the appropriate Summoning Skill and Command Skill?
  2. How long does it take for the Demon to arrive?

Any advice, suggestions etc would be most helpful.

Text says:

Gain a demonic servant (available to the cult), which
may be summoned for one task per adventure.

Because it says summoned, I would say that it takes time of regular summoning, but without test because Lord of Chaos has given him to your service (if there was a test the gift would be useless, because if you know the rituals then you can do it whenever you like without "one task" limitation). Personally I would use specific creature summoning time, because cultist is calling a known servant and his god has given him the power to summon this specific slave and not some random demon.

Personally if I would say it's far quicker, since it's a chaos gift, rather than a proper summoning.
I would probably say something like 1d8 rounds or something as opposed to the same in hours.

I think in the old Stormbringer rules it was like this for gifts, special abilities etc, but it's open to interpretation.

Specific creatures summoning time, which I recommended, is 1d8 Combat Actions. Which is a decent time for instant summoning.

This is what I was thinking, 1D8 CA or Rounds. Thanks for the input guy's.
