You may insult an opponent in front of the Infernal Conclave, though you must pay a specified number of Prestige Points
to execute the insult.
e Cost: You are allowed to spend a maximum of six Prestige Points modified by the difference in Infernal Rank
between you and your opponent.
If your Infernal Rank exceeds your opponent’s Infernal Rank:
Max Cost = 6 + the difference in ranks
If your Infernal Rank is less than or equal to your opponent’s Infernal Rank:
Max Cost = 6 - the difference in ranks
e minimum cost is 1.
Opponent’s Options: Your opponent can accept the insult in front of the Infernal Conclave, which refunds your initial
Prestige Point expense and awards you with the Prestige Points that the opponent forfeits through his acceptance. In
effect, you have doubled your wager.
Your opponent can also refuse your insult, which forfeits the Prestige Points you spent and obligates your opponent to
claim Vendetta on you during the following turn. is, clearly, can be a way to position oneself toward combat.
e Waiting Period: As mentioned before, if your opponent accepts your insult in front of the Infernal Conclave then
Infernal Protocols require you to wait an appropriate amount of time before hurling another. If your opponent is the
same rank or less than you, the waiting period is two turns. If your opponent is greater in rank than you, the waiting
period is two turns plus the difference in your ranks.

A Vendetta is a claim of grievance by one player against another. e traditional way to resolve Vendettas is for the player
claiming it, or the acting player, to state before the Infernal Conclave how he will harm his opponent and how quickly he
will do it. ese terms become known as the Vendetta Objectives. e acting player must wager Prestige on the outcome.
e acting player may also elect to settle the Vendetta through Single Combat (cf. Single Combat, 4.17). Here, each player
designates a Praetor for a trial by combat within the Infernal Arena of Pandemonium. Both players must ante up Prestige
Points, and the winner receives his wager as well as a Prestige bonus equal to this initial wager. In effect, he doubles his
bet.
Traditional Vendettas
e Wager: Claiming Vendetta requires you to wager Prestige Points. As mentioned above, success rewards you with
your original wager plus a bonus.
Your Wager: Your wager may be chosen from a value in a range that is created between the Base Wager and your
Infernal Rank.
e Base Wager formula is:
Base Wager = 8 + (reat Level of target enemy – 1)
e Maximum and Minimum Wager formulas are:
Maximum Wager = Base Wager + Infernal Rank of the acting player
Minimum Wager = Base Wager - Infernal Rank of the acting player
For example, if a Lord claims Vendetta against a Prince (Infernal Ranks 1 and 5, respectively), and if that Lord has
assigned the Prince a reat Level of two (which means the Prince is this Lord’s second highest perceived threat), then
the following formulas would determine the Lord’s possible Wager:
Base Wager = 8 + (2 - 1) = 9
Maximum Wager = 9 + 1 = 10
Minimum Wager = 9 - 1 = 8
e Lord may wager 8, 9, or 10 Prestige Points against this Prince.
Note: If you do not have enough Prestige Points to meet the minimum, all your remaining Prestige will be used.
