Hellish Contract: A Hell's Contractor is able to forge contracts which can be used to bind individuals to certain agreements. These agreements can be trade agreements, oaths, truces, or political agreements, or can be more mystical in nature. If the contracts are of the former variety, once the Hell's Contractor signs them the other signatories of the agreement must follow the agreement to the best of their abilities lest they be branded with the mark of the devil, and a devil from hell (DM's choice of what kind) will pursue them to take their soul for disobeying their contract.

Mystical contracts on the other hand require the Hell's Contractor to invest 10 MP, and can promise gifts to the individual. Gifts are usually taken advantage of, with imprecise wording being toyed with. Such gifts one may ask for include; wealth, status, revive the dead, and so on. However anyone who signs these contracts is bound to Hell when they die. And once the signatory dies, that which they wished for fades to dust - gold is made to worthless pebbles, someone's popularity immediately falls, a revived individual withers and dies again.

For every soul claimed by a Hell's Contractor's contracts, they receive a +5 bonus to all checks for 1 day. Minor agreements only result in souls claimed if someone breaks the agreement. Mystical contracts always claim a soul, and thus always grant a benefit.

If a player takes this Promotion, it is encouraged that the other player characters are not allowed to receive the infernal gifts from their ally, and they aren't able to create a contract for themselves. Attempting to do these or circumvent these rules may incur the wrath of Hell's own lawyers, cause the contract to be voided and Hell's judiciary system will decide whether or not the Hell's Contractor is allowed to make contracts anymore. If they decide to disbar them from Hell, they lose this Promotion and its TP is refunded.
