Defenses are temporary bonuses provided to your character through the use of skills, items, or quests, and most will persist until you leave the game or die. Your own defenses are visible at any time by using the <tt>DEF</tt> command, while certain abilities such as [[Rituals#Tristitia|Tristitia]] allow you to view the defenses of others.

| style="background:lightyellow"|Only available to Nihilists, this specialization in cosmic magic creates a bond between the adept and the Tainted Plane of Nil, where lives the Demon Lords. The Nihilists form pacts with these dread beings, who will allow service of a demonic thrall to the Nihilist to help create mischief.

In your journey to master the nihilistic path, you are now officialy considered Reviled by most civilized standards. This pleases the Demon Lords of Nil, who will now allow you to form a <tt>PACT</tt> with one of these dark masters. This pact cannot be broken, barring the unlikely fall of that Demon Lord. Contemplating upon <tt>PACTS</tt> will also reveal what investable powers are granted. The first pact formed with a Demon Lord is seen as an indicator of the general path that Nihilist will travel throughout his or her life, even if that person subsequently forms pacts with other Demon Lords; thus, the first pact is generally made only after a much consideration and reflection by the nihilist.


Note that you can also break a pact, which will also break deep bonds (if you have one).
Damage Modifier: 20


PLEDGING LUCIPHAGE: Luciphage is not called the Supreme Master for nothing, for he is adept at dominating and controlling others. Though his powers can be quite formidable, he prefers cunning and manipulation over brute force. Indisputably, those Nihilists who follow the Path of the Dominator often reflect this same cool, calculating approach, many rising to become leaders whose patient ambitions know no bounds.
Reduce injuries to your body.


PLEDGING ASHTORATH: Unlike the more thoughtful followers of Luciphage, those Nihilists who embrace the Path of Rage revel in brute force and destruction. Patience and forethought are seldom considered admirable traits, as Ashtorath prefers immediate, direct and spectacular action.
{{Template:Defence | defName= Falling | defLine=You are protected against falling suddenly. | defSources = [[acrobatics#Falling | falling]] ([[acrobatics]])}}


PLEDGING NIFILHEMA: The Path of Cruelty is a terribly difficult and subtle path to follow. As Nifilhema cares little about intrigue, ambition or power, she is only concerned with causing pain and suffering, considering it the highest form of artistic expression. Nihilists on this path develop a twisted aesthetic view of pain, creating ingenious and horrible new methods of torture.
Reduce damage and lessen the chance of breaking limbs.


PLEDGING BAALPHEGAR: Certainly the most intelligent of the Demon Lords, Baalphegar brings his considerable mind to formulate complex and elaborate plots. Those Nihilists who walk the Path of Dark Fate prefer to work behind the scenes, masterminding insidious schemes and intrigues.
{{Template:Defence | defName= Handstand | defLine=You are standing on your hands. | defSources = [[acrobatics#Handstand | handstand]] ([[acrobatics]])}}


PLEDGING GORGULU: Very few Nihilists choose the Path of the Devourer, for Gorgulu is the most warped and incomprehensible of the Demon Lords. Those Nihilists who do are considered insane and unstable.
Power: 3
Avoid physical damage. Does not protect against magical sources.

The Demon Lords of Nil will send you a squat imp to serve you as your thrall, who may be invested with two powers.


INVESTING POWERS INTO A DEMONIC THRALL: The specific powers granted by a pact with a Demon Lord allows you to <tt>INVEST</tt> those powers into your demonic thrall.

|-
|style="background:pink"|Power:  10 (Megalith of Doom)
|-
|}
One of the most important and difficult tasks a Nihilist undertakes is forming a deep bond with a Demon Lord. This can only be accomplished after subjugating souls imprinted on spikes into the Necromentate that corresponds to the Demon Lord with whom the bond is being sought. Once enough souls are enslaved (and it takes quite a lot), the Nihilist may journey to Nil and seek to form a deep bond with that Demon Lord.


A Nihilist may only ever have one deep bond with a Demon Lord. This reflects a special relationship between Demon Lord and Nihilist and should be given much thought. If a pact is ever broken, so too will the deep bond be broken.
Walk in the air and resist winds on the Elemental Plane of Air.

|-
|}
Once a Nihilist forms a deep bond with a Demon Lord, he or she may call forth a symbol of that Demon Lord. This symbol must be wielded in order for its powers to be enabled. It can strike an enemy as a weapon, as well as being able to directly evoke one of the powers of the Demon Lord whose symbol it represents (i.e., an investible power). Finally, wielding the symbol adds a small protective field around the Nihilist, though the field is stronger depending upon which symbol it is:


* Luciphage offers more protection against blunt damage.
Power: 10
* Ashtorath offers more protection against fire damage.
* Nifilhema offers more protection against cutting damage.
* Baalphegar offers more protection against cold damage.
* Gorgulu offers more protection against poison damage.

Wielding your unholy symbol, you can cast a few strands of the Web of Despair at your victim. Too little to entangle them, but it is not the dweller of the web that kills - it is the poison woven into every strand.
