There is a novel in the Helldivers series where they find a 99 level deep underground facility in a city where basements don't exist because the water table is just below the surface. Its called suspension of disbelief and is a requirement for tings like fantasy and sci-fi.

"of a devil" gives you a huge variance. It could be one of the mindless lesser devils hates you to the garnering the attention of a Archdevil. Sounds like the card is intentionally vague to give the DM plenty of room to play depending on how it feeds best into his game.

How do you plan for your characters to move from the Ethereal Plane to Baator? If memory serves, Baator only has portals to Acheron, Gehenna, and Sigil as well the the River Styx

Having played the Illrigger for a while now, I have to agree that the class has some major weaknesses. Yes, I hate the name and most of the subclass names - Painkiller? Really? The class has the power to be a major damage dealer for a short duration and then its just a fighter in black armor.

Bollywood. I mean there are some serious Fantasy style movies and all that have come out of the India cinema. Valdemar
