Maybe when they possess an item they sort of lose their individual consciousness? But obviously this couldn't be permanent, or it'd spoil some of the potential ideas.I think one of the main questions with this idea is "How hard is it for the spirits to actually manifest in the physical world?". I don't have my BOOK OF VILE DARKNESS handy, so I don't remember its rules on the subject, but I seem to remember that the idea is that the spirits are on the astral plane while they're possessing stuff and can't easily bust through to the other side and kick ass. There's still a way they can do it for that "whoa cool" special occasion, unless I remember incorrectly, but it'd have to be rare.... I think the DM would want it to be rare, since a player having an 18,000 gp demon-possessed magic item is a lot easier to handle than a player commanding a 9 HD demon. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />First stage of introduction into my campaign: a Chaos-Beast-possessed sword. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Jason</blockquote>
