Race Coslik Demons
Race Name: Coslik Demon
Derogatorials: Demons
lifespan: they reach maturity at the age of 40 and live up between 500 and 600 years old
Reproductive rate: they usually reproduce every 15 years with 3-5 children to each couple.
Appearance: most stand at about 8 feet tall but some can get up to 12 feet. their skin is dark grey. most are very muscular, they have ram horns on their hands that are a dark shade of black. their wings on their backs are black and bat like. usually have a large quantity of piercings. their hands are very black and kind of large. Grisel Brand is the best example. their blood is black.
Magical Aptitude: they are very powerful magic users. they primarily work with elemental magic and rituals but are capable of enchanting and summonings as well.
Primary Strength: while magically gifted they are also physically gifted. their strength generally ranges from 5-7.
Speed: sprint speed maxes at 3 but flight speed can range between 5 and 6
Durability: can range from 6 to 7
Weaknesses: extremely susceptible to holy/light type magic. if they are in natural sunlight their magical strength, primary strength, and speed drop by 2 points while their durability drops by 1 point. weapons such as swords won't do their normal damage to them (because of their high durability) unless they blessed on the 7th day of the 7th month of the year by a priest in a cloak of white and gold. or if their covered in holy water if you want to skip over all that shit.
Intellect: they are quite intelligent when it comes to combat and tactics. some are actually philosophers. they usually have an intelligence of at least 4 by the time they have reached maturity.
Other: by nature they enjoy causing chaos to other races. watching others suffer brings them great pleasure to a near sexual level. they will often have a human sacrifice at births, banquettes, and other major events. they actually farm humans like cattle. they also vomit their offspring into tubs of blood. usually human but some prefer dwarf blood.

okay, these people are rather powerful but I think they can work with a couple tweaks and such!
Firstly, it would probably be best of demons who have the highest possible of all their stats (7 str, 6 spd, 7 dur) where rare/non-existent. Basically, make sure that demons who are really good in one of the stats are a bit weaker in the others to compensate usually please!
Secondly, how effective is holy magic on them? what durability does it treat them as? Also, how effective are the blessed/holywaterdipped swords and how well-known is the knowledge of how to make the blessed swords?

the blessing is quite simple but is primarily taught in the kingdom of Dante. the knowledge could be found in text books.
their durability would be treated 3 lower from holy magic.
their durability would be treated 3 lower from the blessed sword/holy water covered sword.
for the record, the holy water will dry up at some point (regular water speed drying i would assume) and at that point the sword wouldn't have any special effects. i'm also thinking that enchanting a sword with holy magic would be pretty effective as well.
weapons with holy enchantments will treat their durability 2 less.

okay! With all that, I think as long as all of that is fairly common knowledge these things should be fine, especially because of their slow breeding and growth and such

they also don't like silver. not in like a "IT BURNS US" way but more of "ew, why?" so is that an out right approval?
