What do you think of using the demonic possession curse from Chapter 3 in the Abyss? How likely should that be to happen to a PC while exploring the plane, or is that something to avoid doing since it runs the risk of compromising player agency?
I think it should be discussed with the players as part of a session zero (or prior to the entry into the Abyss). As with most detailed things, the mileage "will vary" depending on the group and the skill of the DM. But the rules in Ch3 aren't especially onerous; it takes a 1 rolled on a d20 test to trigger the save that leads to the possession, which is repeated at the end of each turn. Unless a DM is using this on a party that shouldn't be there to begin with, most PC's will end the temporary effects pretty quickly. Add to the Long Rest save that can remove the possession entirely, I think the chapter 3 rules are a good place to start, and a safe way to fiddle with the mechanics
