|'''Otherworldly Passenger'''
|Vessel Entry
|Your occult machinations have drawn the attention of a fiendish spirit that resides in your body. In exchange for dwelling within you, this demon lends you its power and expertise. This demon soul’s vast and fickle knowledge may manifest itself in different ways over your years of adventuring.
Gain the Adept of the Psionic talent if you did not already have it. If you already have it, gain +5 SP and +1 Psionic Power instead. Each time you level up and spend a talent point on a Demon Soul talent, you gain +1 Psionic Power in addition to the +1 Occult Power you get from the Occult Power ability.
|''Vessel, Demon Soul, Soul Sacrifice''
|-
|'''Otherworldly Expertise'''

|Choose three specialization talents with the skill tag. Your demon soul knows these talents and may give you one of these talents.

Incompatibilities: Gaze of Malice and Unholy Magic
|Gain the Fiendish Claws ability.
* '''Fiendish Claws (1/Recoup).''' For 1 AP, you may allow your fiend to manifest physical characteristics in the form of your hands turning into vicious claws, and your forearms becoming covered with spikes. This lasts for 2 minutes.
While your claws are manifested, your unarmed or natural weapon damage dice increase by one die size (e.g., from 1d4 to 1d6, max 1d12) and deal sharp damage. If your unarmed damage previously did not have a damage die, then this feature causes your unarmed attacks to deal 1d4 damage.
When you activate your Fiendish Claws, you may simultaneously activate one of your Surge abilities without spending additional AP.

|'''Gaze of Malice'''
|Otherworldly Expertise

While you use your Gaze of Malice, you gain the following special attack for the duration.
