Scenarios in The Exorcist’s Codex fall into three primary types, each focusing on different aspects of confronting demonic influence; Exorcism, Exploration and Exposure. Later in the campaign, we'll hold a poll where you get to vote on the type of scenario you just unlocked! More details will come in a future update!
For now, let's introduce one of the key scenario types in The Exorcist's Codex—the Exorcism scenarios.
An Exorcism Scenario typically revolves around the circumstances of a possessed person—someone who has become the target of demonic possession. The player characters cannot simply free the possessed individual; they must also investigate the various connections tied to the possession. What kind of demon are they facing? Is there a greater demonic scheme at play that could have severe consequences for the area? Are cultists involved? Why was this particular person chosen?
To proceed, the player characters must investigate the situation, search for clues, and uncover hidden information. Along the way, they will often encounter obstacles set by demons or cultists attempting to hinder their progress.
Once they have gathered the necessary intel, they must prepare for the ritual—locating the correct components and applying their knowledge of both the demonic and the divine. Finding the right holy items to aid them is crucial. When a person is possessed, time is of the essence, and the only way to succeed is by outsmarting the demons before it runs out.
Exorcism Scenarios vary in complexity, from lesser demons possessing for their own amusement to large-scale conflicts involving ancient Archdemons seeking to rule the mortal realm.
