Default How frequent should Interventions be?

Quick question.

How frequent should (Divine or Satanic) Interventions be? How much is too much? Once every 24 hours? More? Less? Thanks.

As often as the dice come up as Interventions. I don't think Interventions are something that should be narratively limited.

Of course, as the GM, if Interventions suddenly start popping up, you have the opportunity to take advantage of that fact.

Why the sudden, high-level, celestial interest?! Cue: paranoia.

One thing to remember is that an Intervention doesn't have to be earthshaking or spectacular. God or Lucifer might just look in, think things are going OK and just give you a metaphorical "keep up the good work" by healing everyone, giving them protective spells, and topping up everyone's Essence.

I'd also try and spin the Intervention as appropriate to the kind of roll being made when it came up.

An Intervention can also indicate interest by the next power level; for a mortal, a local Soldier has taken interest; for a Soldier or Ethereal, a local Celestial; then a Wordbound then a Superior.
