Play an Illrigger by choosing a coherent weapon plan, keeping Charisma strong, and treating seals as a tactical resource. Place Baleful Interdict on priority enemies, burn seals when the damage or Boon trigger matters, and preserve seals when a Contract or Interdict Boon may need them for a stronger effect. Your Diabolic Contract determines whether the character leans toward magic, manipulation, durability, blood-fuelled combat, or assassination.
