Driven by the overwhelming need to fill a void, be it long-life, power, fortune, knowledge, or notability, you have traded with an entity an irreplaceable aspect of yourself to acheive your goals. You gave up your memories, your soul, another life, or something likewise irreplaceable for a deal that keeps giving.
- Skill Proficiencies: History, Arcana
- Languages: Two of your choice
- Equipment: A amulet (a token of your pact), a history book, 5 candles, Oil(flask), a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 15 gp.
As a Pactbound, you gain a relationship with a demon after making a deal with them. You decide the nature of your relationship with them, and how present they are in your day to day life. Additionally you can call upon your demon for advice or favors, in exchange for another trade(they love return customers).
You can recall, without any past experience, a useful bit of knowledge about a creature, place, or item, pulling the information from seemingly nothing as your demon whispers the knowledge directly into your hands to do with what you choose.
Suggested Characteristics
Pactbound are shaped by their experience in trade with demons, their losses and gains reflected in their personalities, ideals, mannerisms, and flaws.
