			A character whose Transposition ends by the demon being driven out, lose the ability to progress in this class, but maintain their class abilities. Any character whom becomes good, or Virtuous, loses both the ability to progress in this class, and all abilities gained from it. This class becomes dead weight, unlike many other classes, they do not convert to a "base class."

	The demonbinder draws the essence of demons into herself to acquire their power. Such acts are forbidden, and doing so condemns the mortal to eternity in the deepest pits of the Abyss. However, the demonbinder cares little for her fate, being wholly concerned with power in the here and now. It is from this doom that she is able to invest herself with the power of fiends, and the farther she travels down the road of corruption, the more potent are the demons she binds.

			== Class Niche ==
			While it exists primarialy as a mechanical backdrop to a roleplaying arc, demonbinder is a powerful class in its own right. The demonbinder prestige class offers an incredible selection of abilities, granting you uncommon versatility. With the infusion of temporary hit points acquired from your demonbind, you have a greater ability to withstand attacks before you have to withdraw from combat.

			Demonbinds also give you ways to improve your eldritch blast if you are a warlock. However, they require additional expenditures of damnation points, which limits your options at lower levels but provides even greater flexibility with the use of your eldritch blast as you grow more powerful.

	=== The Demonbinder as an Adventurer ===		=== The Demonbinder as an Adventurer ===
			For the adventuring group brave or foolhardy enough to have a demonbinder, they will find few quibbles, beyond those that chafe at their nature. A wise demonbinder knows that those whom would risk association with them are relatively rare, and as such, should be cultivated. However, they are most comfortable with sorcerers whom share their less disciplined approach, and the warlocks whom also treat with evil. Very few faiths would counternance demonbinders, so paladins and other holy goodly classes such as clerics as good divinities often find themselves in conflict, as do druids, whom would view the demonbinder's arts as an affront to the natural order. Barbarians, especially those of evil inclination, are usually the most steadfast friends they can find, whom often revel in the demonbinder's capacity for wild destruction.

			The demonbinder often finds themselves with little choice regardless of what they think of adventuring: very few of their number can maintain the charade for long enough to entrench themselves in society, so adventuring really is the one way to go that would provide them with the kind of gold they need to further their studies.
