On the other hand, if you want your devils to be the kind that carry pitchforks, then the rivers of brimstone are key. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Constant environmental damage is lame, but there's a big difference between taking a blanket 30 points of fire damage anywhere on the plane, and meaningful and well-thought out environmental hazards.I don't think all exotic locations need special rules (even if most can benefit from them, if they're not overly complicated and don't bog things down), but I think there are certain places which are alien enough that IMO things simply can't work the same as they do back home - not unless you want the setting to feel like a movie made for the Sci-Fi channel. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
