If so how did you use them and what was the experience like for your campaign?

I have actually been considering that kind of rule to my game (I used the Ravenloft fear, horror and madness rules in my 2E game), I was looking over the 3E Unearthed Arcana rules and the Heros of Horror rules...I should look there too... |

I used them in my RAVENLOFT campaign a while back.
I wasn't really happy with them way they worked, overall -- I found the "tainted ruleset" from OA to be more balanced and actually more appropriate for an RL campaign.

The Tainted Rules in 302 revolve around evil outsiders creatures that from memory arent very common in Ravensloft |

What Im thinking of is this
After Daggerford and its allies defeated the Pit Fiend Baazka and his devil army in 1363 (See Hordes of Dragonspear) a Temple to Tempus was set up in Dragonspear castle to guard the gate to the Nine Hells.
When Baazka and his devils "died" they where banished back to the Nine Hells and where banned from returning to the realms for 100 years (Some of the Pit Fiends Infernal followers escaped including Baazka's Erinyes harem which included the Nyphithys and at least 2 others). Baazka however found a way around his banishment he allowed his "Soul" to be added to the Staff of Cania (Homebrew artifact) along with several other banished devils. He left the staff with his Dragon mount Alymastalix, a Hellfire Wyrm with the instructions that he is to send the staff through the Dragonspear gate.
Alymastalix gave the Staff to his daughter (Half Hellfire wyrm dragon human who has levels of Warlock). She took the staff and used it on the Cleric of Tempus who are responsiable for guarding the gate. One of the powers of the staff of Cania is that when it hits someone the victim must make a will save, if they fail they get one Fiend point and a random devil enters the victim (Begining the Tainted Process)
By the time the campaign starts all the clerics in the Temple have fallen and the devils control them. Baazka however has been unlucky and still waits in the Staff. |
