[QUOTE="Gloombunny, post: 3938516, member: 54916"] I like the idea of devils being compelled by some sort of agreement or law set down in eons past, but I'd have it such that it's not descendents of the deal-makers benefitting without doing anything, but rather that if a mortal follows certain rules in dealing with devils, the devils are compelled to follow certain rules in response. Like, a warlock might ritually sacrifice a goat to a devil and get cool powers in exchange. The devil might not even want the damn goat, but he has to give the warlock power anyway because that's the rule. I guess this is kinda like Exalted, where sorcerers can summon and command demons partly because Thousands Of Years Ago, ancient sorcerers and heroes defeated the demon princes in a huge war, and the demons' terms of surrender included being imprisoned in hell except when following the orders of a sorcerer who summons them with certain rites.
