Demon, Bune

[Something I loved about the way D&D presented the lower planes was all of the scheming and backstabbing going on, which totally has no parallels in how real world authoritarian regimes operate. The Pandaemonic Parliament is similar: its members are all working towards the same overall goal of increasing the corruption of the universe, but that doesn't mean they all like each other or tell each other everything. Souls maintaining their memories and personalities past death has come up in multiple Pathfinder APs (Jade Regent and Hell's Rebels are just the ones I've run!), and so giving the secrets of that to one of the Parliament members seemed like a good plot hook to drive stories and seed conflict within the Parliament. And with his ability to "maketh the dead change their place, and devils to assemble on the sepulchers of the dead", Bune seemed like a good candidate.

Demon, Bune CR 19 CE Outsider (extraplanar) This three headed dragon has red scales, membranous wings and four clawed feet that splay and have too many toes. Each head has slightly different features—one is vaguely human, one vaguely avian, and one vaguely canine, but all have crooked yellow tusks and blue tongues. Three ribbon-like tails whip around it.

In life, the demon Bune was a mighty and cruel gorynych. Bune coveted knowledge as much as treasure and maidens, and was obsessed with achieving immortality without having to deny himself the pleasures of the flesh that undeath would take away. Bune succeeded, after a fashion—although he was slain by adventurers to put an end to his many atrocities, Bune was reborn in the Abyss as a demon, with his draconic body, memories and personality intact. Bune now promises mortals the same ability to transcend death and be reborn as a demon. The rituals are costly in time, money and soul sacrifices, and Bune reserves the inner mysteries only to those who impress him. Most supplicants fail to meet his exacting standards, and are toyed with and strung along with partial rituals and promises before being transformed into undead slaves.

Bune is charming and eager to talk, and uses his abilities of illusion and shapeshifting to get foes to drop their guard before he strikes. He prefers to resume his natural form in order to battle, as the shapes he can take are hardly as powerful as a three headed dragon. Bune can breathe black limned flames that damage even those immune to fire, and charm and confuse even undead creatures. Bune remembers his first death and seeks to avoid another one—he typically uses greater teleport to flee when reduced below half hit points.

With his interests in the pursuit of knowledge, necromantic ritual and hedonism, Bune has common interests with the three major demon lords of undeath: Kabriri, Orcus and Zura. He has acted as an ambassador between the three demon lords, welcome in all of their courts and able to act as a courier to deliver news and demands between the three. Bune has remained studiously neutral in conflicts between the three, and has been rewarded for his efforts by being chosen for the Pandaemonic Parliament. Bune’s knowledge of the secrets that allow mortals to maintain their personalities as fiends is a highly prized commodity, but Bune has so far held it close to his chest. Asmodeus has considering simply torturing Bune’s methods out of him, but the combined ire of Kabriri, Orcus and Zura could be enough to threaten collapsing the whole Parliament project. Thus, he has refrained for the time being.

SQ change shape (magical beast or humanoid, greater polymorph), false aura, multiheaded Ecology Environment any land or aquatic (Abyss) Organization unique Treasure double standard Special Abilities Breath Weapon (Su) Each of Bune’s heads has its own separate breath weapon. When Bune uses his breath weapon, he can breathe with one, two, or all three heads. If the areas of two or more breath weapons overlap, a creature caught in that overlapping area takes a –2 penalty on its Reflex save (or –4 if three breath weapons overlap). Damage done by overlapping breath weapons stacks and is considered to be a single source of fire damage for the purpose of tracking fire resistance. Half of the damage dealt by Bune’s breath weapons is fire damage and half is typeless damage, similar to a flame strike spell. Regardless of how many heads breathe fire, Bune can only use his breath weapon once every 1d4 rounds. False Aura (Su) A whiedreath can change its alignment aura as it desires for the purposes of detect evil spells and other similar magic. A successful DC 28 Will save made by a creature using one of these spells allows that creature to see Bune’s true aura (overwhelming evil). The save DC is Charisma based. Grave Secrets (Ex) Bune can affect undead creatures with his mind-influencing abilities. Greater Iron Will (Ex) A whiedreath gains Iron Will and Improved Iron Will as bonus feats. It may use the reroll granted by its Improved Iron Will feat a number of times per day equal to its Wisdom modifier (4 times for Bune). Multi-Headed (Ex) All three of Bune’s heads can act independently of each other. When he makes a full attack, each head can either bite or use its breath weapon, in any combination (two bites and one breath, three breaths and no bites, and so on). Swift Concentration (Ex) Bune can concentrate on a spell as a swift action once per round.

BUNE, GREAT DUKE OF HELL

bune is a spirit known as a prince of hell, but don’t let the title fool you — he’s not dark or dangerous in the way people think. he helps with money, confidence, and finding the right words when you need them. instead of dropping riches out of nowhere, he shifts your path so that money can actually come to you, often in ways you didn’t expect. his energy is calm and smart, kind of like someone who always knows what’s going to happen before it does. if you suddenly feel a clear urge to change something or go after a better opportunity, that might be him nudging you. he’s also great for helping you speak clearly and be taken seriously — whether it’s in writing, interviews, or just everyday life. people say he appears as a dragon with three heads: one human, one dog, and one griffin, but honestly, most feel him as a strong, quiet presence that’s hard to explain. he doesn’t shout, he doesn’t rush, but when he shows up, things start to move. he likes clear requests and simple offerings — a candle, a coin, a thank you whispered with intention. and above all, he respects people who are ready to help themselves too. will he help? oh yes, dear.

if you wish to know more about the rituals — let me know.

Is there other Infernal you Want to work with beside astaroth, Lucifer, and beelzebub?

I work with Belial closely too! Asmodeus I don't have too much of a relationship with, but Astaroth brings him around sometimes. I have also done a couple of conjurations with Andromalius, who is a very nice justice demon, moved to a new home with Bune's help, and have made a request of Andras. I will basically call up anyone as long as Lucifer approves of it lol

I've never really drawn a full body of Bune. He belongs to @mewkami813!

Pig Magick

What some refer to as “pig magic” is not about the animal itself in a literal sense, but about working with the principle it represents: increase, nourishment, grounded wealth, and steady accumulation. When approached properly, the focus is on aligning with those qualities through disciplined intention and consistent action.

In a structured practice, effectiveness comes from:

* clarity of intention (knowing exactly what you are building)

* repetition and consistency (not one-off effort, but sustained focus)

* symbolic alignment (using objects, imagery, or routines that reinforce the outcome)

* personal discipline (matching your actions to the result you claim to want)

Historically, pigs symbolised stored wealth—assets that grow over time rather than vanish quickly. So the deeper lesson is not quick gain, but maintained prosperity.

However, it is important to remain grounded. No symbolic or ritual practice replaces practical responsibility. Financial growth still requires planning, work, and sound decisions. Symbolism can reinforce mindset and focus, but results follow structure and execution.

So when people speak of this work being “effective,” what they are often describing is the power of focused intention combined with aligned behaviour.

The real question is not the symbol you choose—it is whether your daily actions match the outcome you claim to be working toward.
