I Homebrewed a ring and I want some downside suggestions

One of my players was no hesi murdering some folks, and I gave her the option to accept a ring. Given to her by the in universe god of Blood and Misfortune.
After 3 killing blows it changes from a ring into a glove and allows her to cast Boiling Blood (an Unaqi attack) as a free action. It’s def strong, I’m trying to think of some downsides.

At first I thought a good option would be a mental corruption, as she doesn’t activate boiling blood she gets more and more unstable and volatile until she unleashes it. Thus far she’s fired it pretty much as it’s ready. Wondering if there are other mechanics or ideas people have that would be a little more consistent or common.

TY!

How do you run exploration for large maps??

hey guys printed Oracle Cave for my players this week.

How do you run exploration for large maps like this? Obviously you can’t be in initiative the whole time — and when they spot hidden or etc 15 minute goes by. But how do you decide how long it takes them to travel through normal passages or keep things moving and not boring?

GM advice for NPC behaviors regarding cultists and and baddies around Outskirt.

My party has recently discovered Leanara and her plots. The cultist is currently in possession of two pieces of the statue, given to her by the party. The party owns the third. They also threatened Quasimund, who in response shot the PC in the back as she turned away.

What escalation or natural decisions would the cultists make with this information? Would they stalk the party on their next adventure? Ambush them in Outskirt? Get backup or reinforcements? Just wondering what the general direction is other GM's have taken this side of the story. Looking for some Inspo. Thanks!!

Magical Items (Fiendcrusher)

One of my players found Fiendcrusher in Riddermound, what additional properties does it gain from being a magical item? Other than the fact it glows near demons?

Earning Heroic Abilities

Hey in the text on page 29 it states the GM can reward heroic abilites "never more than once per standard-length adventure." In the context of the Misty Vale campaign does that mean, once for the entire story? Or once per Riddermound, Village of the Day Before, etc.

Map Printing

In the Adventure Manual, it suggests printing from the included PDF, cutting and splicing together as they explore the area.

Is there a way to print the maps larger size so they are usable with miniatures etc?

Just need some advice in this regard. thanks!!
