ANCESTRAL PACT
You have sworn to honor your ancestors by completing that which they could not, or carrying on a sworn duty. While these ghostly spirits support you in your endeavor, they are not wholly beneficent. Hungering for the world of the living, they seek to act out through you, and can be domineering, vengeful, and manipulative. Only completion of their mission – through you – will grant them final respite; until that time they exist in limbo, looming shades in your family’s memory. You call upon powers that haunt your foes with phantom warriors, provide you with supernatural insights, and blur the boundary between life and death.
Ancestral pact spells require you to endure the physical trials the spirits demand of you (Constitution), and also to have the force of personality required to keep the more aggressive of those spirits from possessing you (Charisma).
Revenant: You gain the Revenant at-will power.
Ancestral Memory: You have the Ancestral Memory pact boon. Your enemy’s fall grants your ancestors a moment of lucidity, and they whisper secrets to you from the Shadowfell.
When you reduce an enemy under your Warlock’s Curse to 0 HP or fewer, you may make a Knowledge check as a free action with a +5 bonus (including trying a failed Knowledge check again) on something pertaining to your current situation.

I especially like the flavor text.. the mechanics i'd have to spend more time looking over to make sure, but all in all good job.
