[QUOTE="AnotherGuy, post: 9513878, member: 7029930"] True. 5e doesn't have a Faith score so to speak. Casters with a patron/deity have a primary requisite score and their level but maybe that isn't a fair indication of the strength of one's faith. A devout fighter may have firmer beliefs than a cleric depending on how you/your table views it. There is a lot at play here - mechanics, consistency, stakes, DM willingness for added work...etc but also narrative opportunity. I do not have all the answers, I'd have to think how to make it work for my table, like i said before take into account TIBF and probably incorporating some of the limitations [USER=6785785]@hawkeyefan[/USER] posted. To be frank I'd also have a quick discussion with the players, particularly if the table was invested. But say this was sprung on me, as a DM I'd be [U]very[/U] interested in the narrative opportunity that could be explored. I could figure out the limitations later and my table is pretty easy with me making house rules. DW SRD provides some neat ideas. I'd also say exploring the possibility of the loss or additions of TIBF. Then look towards old school - permanent attribute loss, aging, permanent cosmetic feature, attunement reduction, additional hour of prayer every day (to gain spells/avoid 1 level of exhaustion)...etc The character would always have the option of denying the bargain, but then they'd likely shut themselves off to persuing such course of action again. I'm just throwing ideas here. It is all good, generally people will play what they are comfortable/confident to play. This is just a fair exchange of ideas. [/QUOTE]
