[QUOTE="Stumblewyk, post: 6222322, member: 67606"] I've decided that I'm going with a two-pronged approach. Above all things, despite his power, wealth, and resources, Cain's a coward. If not for his moaning about being an outcast walker of the earth in Genesis, he never would have received Jehova's "protection" in the form of the Sevenfold Curse. To that end, he's going to try to undermine the power of all deities by being the head of a rapidly expanding secular humanist movement. That will serve two purposes - it further weakens the gods he's going to try to kill, and he gets to further inflate his ego and expand his power base. While I like the idea of creatively abusing his Sevenfold Curse, I worry about that making Cain nearly impossible for the PCs to effectively undermine. If EVERY form of harm done to him is subject to the Sevenfold Curse, then he can't be effectively harmed in any way without the PCs destroying themselves in the process. Which, while it might make for an awesome story, isn't exactly going to encourage the players to go after the guy. [/QUOTE]
