Seeing all this talk of fighting demons im gonna give my advice.
Was fighting a demon as an undead in another world, it got stuck in a combat loop gouging my rhinomans eyes out after ripping a leg and an hand off him. Slowly kept punching the demon with the good hand until it bleed out. Sometimes you get lucky like that, most the time its you being shreaded. You need some god tier stats to stand a chance. Always go for the legs, a good hit to bring them down to the ground and slow them.
Pray, pray the demon doesn't just decapitate you turn one.
Shooting from a distance whilst stealthed is a good method to kill a demon although less fun. Counters demons abilities, can't use them against you if they can't see you.
If you want to be pure melee demon fighter here is my ultimate warrior plan:
Brown Recluse Spider Man
- No pain so you can keep fighting til the bitter end
- Web immune - turns the worst ability to face in combat into nothing at all. Plus you can collect thread from them
- Six arms - one weapon either one or two handed and then 5 or 4 shields. This makes for good defense against hits and fire balls. Trains shield use faster.
Vampirsm
- No need for breathing, can't be strangled and removes the weakness of cannot swim. Just walking through rivers with ease.
- No exert, this plus no pain turns endurance and willpower into a pointless stat so you can assign the points elsewhere just ensure you get vampirism as you will get tired quick without it
- Doubles physical stats, hit harder, dodge faster and take less damage
- No need for food and drink, on the battlefield blood is your only snack
- Immortal, you can keep doing this for years
Training
- Fight lesser foes before facing the demons, might i recomend goblins
Issues
- Will need to use a fort to comission some fitting armor for added protection but that is easily done
- Infertile once you become a vampire so no spider family after you become a vampire
