Introduction
A wave of heat greets your face, the fiery portal you’ve
stepped through has brought you to the hellish palace of
an arch devil. Sitting atop a throne is a massive figure, red
skin, horns, and a strangely handsome face. He smiles, his
sharp teeth revealing themselves. “So, a mortal who
wants to learn the ways of the devils… How foolish.” You
aren’t intimidated by his hollow threats. You have
something he wants, a valuable soul coin fetches a high
price in Avernus. “So long as you have brought what we
agreed on, this can be an easy transaction for the both of
us” he cackles. Arch Devil Bel is a difficult one to read, but
his outstretched hand beckons the soul coin. You step up
the dias and take his large, warm hand. His figure is large
and nearly enveloping you. “Your soul is mine, in trade I’ll
give you our knowledge. I hope it was worth it… mortal.”
The Dealings of the Devils is fully packed with new hellish
themed content to add to your D&D 5e Games. You’ve
sold your soul to Bel, and in trade he has given you
powers and knowledge of the nine hells. This collection
includes a new item “Chains of Baator”, a new feat “???”, a
new monster “Sycophant Devil”, and a Sorcerer Subclass
“Devil’s Soul”. We hope you enjoy this homebrew
expansion for Dungeons and
Dragons 5e.

Chains of Baator
Wondrous item, very rare
These devilish chains wrap around the wielder’s
forearms when attuned to. They are magic weapons
granting a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made
with it. The chains are considered light and finesse.
They deal 2d6 slashing damage. They have a range of
10 feet.
Deal Breaker: Clarification.
It is always up to the DM to determine whether or not
an item can be bartered for. If an item is too powerful
or being sold by someone who won’t budge on the
price, the DM may overrule the feat.

The chains have 10 charges for the following

properties. It regains 1d6+2 charges daily at dawn.

Chain Grasp.​ You can use an action to expend 1 charge

to make an attack roll on a creature within 30 feet. On a
hit, the creature must contest a grapple check. On a fail,
the creature is grappled and restrained (Escape DC
17). While a creature is restrained using this ability,
you can no longer use the chains as melee weapons.
