If a player in one of my games reneged on a pact, you can bet there would be consequences. And the one I offered was more of a literary device than one I would expect to see in game, but if you can't see how that might bite someone in the arse then ... I dunno. I guess you read different books / watch different movies / plot different games than I do.A pact is a bargin. The classic western one is the Faustian compact where the devil buys a soul for power. But Sinbad trading the genie it's freedom for three wishes was also a pact. Rumplestiltskin spinnng straw into gold for the firstborn child is also a pact. Gawain and the Green Knight made a pact. For many supernatural creatures, in patricular the fey, a beings word is it's bond, and mythology is full of figures who trick gods, demons and elves into bargins that work out best for the clever human.</blockquote>
