SFS Standard Typodaemon (Mistake Daemon) Creature 2

These child-sized daemons represent the horrors of death through dictation errors, transcription woes, or incorrect copying and pasting of text. Typodaemons make discreet adjustments to text, changing a word, adding a taunting emote, or adjusting punctuation to create entirely new meanings for written words. These changes lead to conflicts, and the typodaemon thrives on the strife and potential for death because of these simple errors.

A creature within this aura attempting to read a document must succeed at a DC 5 flat check or cannot read the document for the next 1d4+1 rounds.
Pedant Annoyance Typodaemons paradoxically despise having their errors pointed out. If a creature Interacts to correct the grammar or syntax of something the typodaemon has written or is writing, including with a spell such as implant data, the typodaemon becomes sickened 1. While sickened this way, the daemon must spend an action to justify its actions instead of retching, attempting a Will save instead to remove the condition.

Error Injection [two-actions] The typodaemon remotely accesses the code of a visible item with the tech trait within 60 feet and injects erroneous data. The item becomes glitching 2; if the item is in possession of a creature, the creature must attempt a DC 18 Will save, negating the effect on a success. The item is then immune to Error Injection for 1 hour.

Daemon

Hailing from the plane of Abaddon, daemons are utterly devoted to the destruction of all life. Their existence is based around specific means of death, and they seek the death of all things in service to their lords: the Apocalypse Riders. Each daemon represents a different way to die, and they use their specific powers to further that means of death.

Advents in technology have only created new means of death and torment, so new types of daemons enter existence with regularity, each created once a sufficient mass of new deaths occurs to spawn them. These new advent daemons often prefer to spend their time in the galaxy rather than Abaddon, as they can better spread their torments to the mortals of creation.

Sensitive Topics

The daemons presented here represent means of death that are highly topical in a modern society. Communication misunderstandings in an ever-digital environment, as well as the concepts of online bullying and social stalking, are heavy topics for most gaming groups. Be sure to discuss boundaries with your players before including these sensitive topics in your game.

Daemons And Paradoxes

Daemons are incarnations of death, but they're living beings. Typodaemons relish any opportunity to create or point out small mistakes but loathe any mention of their own errors. A civusdaemon's worst nightmare is for their own infosphere reputation to be questioned or tarnished. Almost all daemons embody paradoxes, and those presented here are no exception.
