[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9686183, member: 27385"] "[B]Flames[/B]: A powerful devil becomes your enemy. The devil seeks your ruin and plagues your life, savoring your suffering before attempting to slay you. This enmity lasts until either you or the devil dies" A bit open like many things in DnD. What does powerful mean? Generally it means comparable to the PCs level, but amid the millions of devils, what is powerful? It is a plot devise to use as long as you want. Do you want to turn your campaign to this or is there more going on and this just becomes a sometime problem for the PCs? How often is this coming up in the scheme of the campaign? Further reading the card description, I can see this showing up every so often over the next few levels. Maybe a devil cult associated with this devil randomly attacks one day with no obvious reason. They leave a few clues, but not much to follow unless the players really bite on the idea. Add some following and NPCs treating them poorly or a few passing clues that people are following them or talking bad about them. This is a devil being more sneaky over a demon just attacking them directly. Maybe a few more things happening at odd times like a body found where the PCs visit or a band of monsters attack and the PCs find marked coins that may lead to the cult. At some point, the arc should wrap up. I would only spend a couple/three levels dealing with it unless you plan to turn the whole campaign to this. The players might start to tire of it. [/QUOTE]
