remove a lot of the OG extra content and similar references
these are things that are not included in the core commons version
because they're homebrew, because they are a lot of writing/creativity
that I don't feel comfortable stealing/distributing, or so on. most of
Old Gus's and the community's content is removed in order to have a
near-CSRD state

what remains is the rules clarifications, errata, splicing together some
information from secondary sources (like the Starter Set or from game
authors on Twitter), and organizational assists

things removed includes ideas that I like, but either plan to write my
own way in the future, or again I just don't feel comfortable copying
verbatim, especially if, for instance, I have my own process and don't
need to advocate for a different one

stuff that's likely to get folded into my core is arbitrarily numbered
300s instead of 000s

- - *Immaterial Form.* The demon can pass through solid objects (up to level 4). Mundane attacks inflict only 1
- damage, but magic, energy, and psychic attacks inflict damage normally.
- - *Immaterial Touch.* 5 points of damage, and The target must succeed an Intellect defense roll or be possessed.
- Once in possession of a host, the demon is immune to most attacks, and can only control or leave its host.
- - *Possession.* After one round (and every other round thereafter), the host must make an Intellect defense roll.
- On a success, the host loses their action. On a failure, the demon controls the host's actions. Each day, the
- host can make an Intellect defense roll to eject the demon. After seven days, these attempts are hindered one
- additional step each day.
- - *Casting Out.* Each day, the host can make an Intellect defense roll to cast out the demon. After seven days,
- these attempts are hindered one additional step each day. Exorcisms, rituals, or other methods might be used to
- cast out a demon. Killing the host will also eject the demon. Cast out demons are usually powerless---for a
- while.
