About the adventure
⭐️ You are a Hero of the Realm, but it came at a terrible price. 🏹 The only option is to traverse the Nine Hells and confront...Him. 😈 Resistance is futile, corruption is certain, damnation is inevitable. Or is it? Team with powerful factions with questionable motivations against a web of corrupt pacts and powerful, seemingly unbeatable forces of evil. Only through trusted teamwork, the skill of combat, the fortitude to find solutions to unsolvable challenges, and the toughness to confront your own weaknesses and inner demons will you succeed against the ultimate "Grandmaster' of manipulations and corruption. "In the depths of Nessus, I sit upon my throne, watching the Great Wheel turn. Every soul, every heartbeat, every fleeting thought is like a delicate note in the symphony of existence. But oh, there is one sensation, one exquisite pleasure that eclipses all others: the corruption of a pure soul."" - Asmodeus

Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game. ⚔️ Combat Heavy “Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

Homebrew rules
✅ Enemy Initiative. Vice making "one roll for an entire group of identical creatures," initiative will be rolled for each individual creature or in some cases, for "a formation" of enemy combatants. ✅ Hit Dice Vice rolling the dice after a short rest (page 186 PHB page 67 of the Basic Rules), you can apply the "average" hit dice value + constitution modifier (same rule used for adding HPs when leveling up). ✅ Break Out. Some monster effects that remove a player's ability to take an action by causing them to be paralyzed, charmed, stunned, etc. can be "broken" by suffering psychic damage instead. The damage taken is based on the monster's CR
