That's fine, as you're "using up" some of their three ability slots (or bought them more). Anyway, he's "paying" for the increases, so you're doing fine.

Basically, the "Affinities at Devotee Level" is meant to be: A) For generic creatures, not player-controlled ones B) A short-hand notation, so you don't have to list all their affinities.

I *might* increase the cost to buy up "Devotee", since you're getting 10 HP of "value" for 1 HP (1 point to raise "Devotee" +1, and 3 points *each* to raise 3 affinities...). But that depends on if the player seems to be abusing the system.
