-====== Demontouched ======
+====== Ancestry Traits ======
-**Pool**:  Ancestry\\
+The traits in this section are examples intended to illustrate how ancestry features can be expressed in play. They focus on broadly applicable abilities and qualities that can suit many settings or species. Game designers are encouraged to create their own ancestry traits---unique, flavourful abilities that reflect the distinct physiology, culture, or history of the peoples in their worlds.
-**Tier**:  Apprentice\\
-**Usage**:  Background\\
-**Requires**:  Orc or Human\\
-----
+There are no Paragon-tier Ancestry traits;  no character receives an Ancestry trait at such a late level that they would qualify for such.
-Demons are entities of pure chaos, spawned with one overriding emotion that they cannot control. For some demons, this is lust; these demons are referred to as Succubi.
+===== Initiate-tier Traits =====
-The offspring of a Succubus is a Cambion, but the Cambion are still human or orcish at their core, and can interbreed with them. The taint of demonic genetics passes down through their children, and while most appear completely untainted, the demonic blood can manifest in their descendants.
-The Demontouched is a Human or Orc with just a touch of demonic energy, not enough to render them a Cambion, but enough to mark them in some minor way. This can take the form of albinism, red eyes, thick fingernails, natural baldness, or pointed ears. (More pointed, for an Orc.)
-A Demontouched character suffers a -1 penalty to their Influence skill, and a -2 penalty to attempts to [[nexusframe:actions:Impersonate Another]], but whenever they become [[nexusframe:conditions:Injured]], they immediately reduce the value of the Injured condition by one.

-**Special**:  Background traits must be selected at character creation;  they cannot be selected after a character enters play.
