Diabolists for the Realms
The Diabolist is the paradoxist who serves the forces of the Outer Planes, Limbo or the Netherhells. Diabolists generally have a patron demon but pay homage to whatever evil being will give them power. Diabolists are intended as an NPC class.
Diabolists advance and Fight as Clerics or by HD type if a monster is applied the Diabolist "template". They have no weapon restrictions and gain skills as Clerics. Diabolists may use all Clerical magic items. Diabolists may be of any Evil Alignment. A diabolist whose alignment becomes good forever loses his diabolist levels and abilities. Taints remain however.
