D&D is an RPG. A role playing game. We're telling a story, here. The Holy Man that makes a deal with a Supernatural force is pretty much a cliche... and can go in a large variety of ways.
A Paladin that wants to do more for his people, but his God doesn't offer him the powers he needs to do everything he thinks should be done... so he makes a deal to get the power to make the difference he needs to make. Does he do it with a Planetar, an Elder God, a Fallen Deva, a Fey Power, or some other power? Or maybe he isn't focused on doing more for his people, but just feels that he is not being rewarded enough for his sacrifices... he needs a guaranteed return on his efforts...
So many story possibilities.
