-Devourer is a weapon class that is mostly reserved for huge, horrible things and not the adventurers that must face them, but as always is not entirely off-limits if everybody's okay with it. While it can be difficult to use multiple times, it has almost unsurpassed utility when it comes to quickly and efficiently dispatching a single smaller opponent.
+Devourer is a weapon archetype that is mostly reserved for huge, horrible things with cavernous jaws or amorphous absorption; generally not traits of the adventurers that must face them. As always, however, this archetype is not entirely off-limits to players if everybody's okay with it. While it can be difficult to use multiple times consecutively, it has almost unsurpassed utility when it comes to cheaply and efficiently dispatching a single smaller opponent.
+This is a weapon and subject to [[UWR|universal weapon rules]].

For example, if you are a human (size 5) then your stomach can a single creature of size 3 or smaller, or up to five creatures of size 2 or smaller. You can't swallow a creature if it's too big to fit in your stomach, and you can't swallow anything if there's not enough room for it.

+^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Down The Hatch:** As an action, you can make a Whelm attack against an adjacent target. This damages them as normal and also transports them inside you. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Crushing Action:** At the beginning of each of your turns, you automatically use a Whelm attack as a free action against any and every creature that you've currently swallowed with this weapon. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Conditions:** When the trigger die is 10+, this weapon inflicts its wielder's choice of the Choking, Deprived, or Nauseous conditions to its target. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Delicious Morsels:** Size-based failure chances against smaller targets with this weapon are reduced by 12 (minimum 0). \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Oppressive:** Creatures that you have swallowed cannot recover from any condition applied by this attack (including both the normal Choking/Deprived/Nauseous conditions and any other conditions added by levels in elemental archetypes) in any way unless or until they successfully manage to escape your stomach. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Nutrition:** If you use this attack to kill at least one creature, you don't need to spend any Provisions to feed yourself for that day. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Single-Action:** The only time you can use an action to attack a subject is when you initially swallow them.

If you have levels in the Firebug archetype, this limitation no longer applies. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Limited Capacity:** Your stomach can hold a single creature at a time of up to two sizes smaller than you are, or up to five creatures of up to three sizes smaller. For example, if you are a human (size 5) then your stomach can hold a single creature of size 3 or smaller, or up to five creatures of size 2 or smaller. You can't choose to attack a creature if it's too big to fit in your stomach, and you can't choose to attack anything if there's not enough room for it.

If you die while they're still alive, they can cut themselves out with any successful attack (or be cut out by somebody on the outside).
