Infernal Investments

This odd investment allows the infernalist to unhinge his jaw like a snake and swallow objects as large as small child within a variable number of turns. Despite the connotations of this investment, the infernalist's face and mouth appear perfectly normal except when this power is in effect. If the infernalist is mortal, he can digest any organic matter, regardless of its state of decomposition without any ill effects, but objects that are consumed will remain down only so long as he continues to make successful Willpower rolls at a variable difficulty based the object;s size. Undead infernalists cannot digest either items or individuals, so the infernalist must make a continual Willpower roll of variable difficulty to keep the item or person down. Ultimately, the undead infernalist will violently vomit the item or individual up, losing a variable amount of blood in the process and making a real mess. Mortals who see someone or something consumed in this way must make a Courage roll at a difficulty of 8 or flee in terror, while some supernaturals may have to roll Courage, the difficulty is variable based on the nature of the witness in question; mortals and supernaturals who see the infernalist vomit up an item or individual must make a Self-Control roll at a difficulty of 6 or vomit themselves.
