Properties[]
As an archetype, godly-demonic entities have powers of both divine and demonic beings such as gods and demons/devils. This type of being can either be born from a union between a god and demon, be a fusion between a god and demon/devil, or is a demon/god that somehow possesses divine/demonic powers.
Demonic Deities have all the strengths and powers of both gods and devils but almost none of the weaknesses, they can use both holy and demonic powers equally with no restrictions. Their appearances can vary greatly, such as having a combination of traits of both demon and god, one with traits from neither, or even a unique appearance that doesn't fit either classification.
Despite being divine/demonic or holy/unholy, the user should not be confused with a Nephalem, which are the offspring of angels and demons.
