Yes. I meant pricing.
I like your specific ideas re. pricing. There's something that comes to mind though. For all their strengths the demons just can't withstand opposition using many cleansing bells. Perhaps bells are the perfect counter to demons?

What about nations that don't have/can't forge bells? Undead have counters in fire,water, astral and death for example.

Against Blood there is 1 global that is not a direct counter bc its too weak for late game countering blood(still quite interesting:The Kindly Ones)and especally if you have more than 1 blood nation. You can not even compare that to Purgatory.

So why not sprinkle some bell like counters over more paths. Like astral (naturally) and nature.
No need to have counters in all paths so as not to compromise diversity by distinction.

Yea I completely agree with that it doesn't have to be in every path, just something else than water might be nice, as you said nature and astral might do fine. Maye fire item that casts demon cleansing at cons 8? Although I've never used Demon cleansing so I'm not sure how effective it is.

But yea those are the two options I see to balance it either higher up the prices a bit. Or put competent counters in more than 1 path.
