And those consequences depend on the pact and who it's with.For the classic Faustian pact with a Devil, the answer is simple. When you die you are damned. No resurrection/reincarnation. If the other PCs want you back they'd better have the muscle to break into hell and drag the tattered remanants of your soul back to earth with them. Of course a warlock might try to get around this by something like Lichdom. It might even work, until the day that phylactery gets broken. But except for no cheating death, that won't impact play much.For a starpact warlock I would use some sort of corruption or insanity point mechanic as your exposure to otherworldy knowledge and powers slowly warps your mind, body and soul. Or when the stars are right a Migo shows up and eats you. Who knows with great old ones? If you break the pact you break one link in the chain that keeps the great old ones bound...With the Fay? Nothing at all. Oh, except your first born child. Or the memory of your first kiss perhaps. Or every year you need to travel to Tin Nan Og to bring music to the Elf Kings ball. Of course you need to bring him a new act every year. And he keeps the musicians. If you break the pact then every man you meet from now on will know you are foresworn, oathbreaker. Or your child disappears and is replaced by a log. Or for the rest of your life every bite of food tastes likes ashes, every drop of water or wine like blood and all music is the screech of fingernails on chalk. And the Drow who broke her pact with Pelor? Her powers stop working and the full light of the sun shines upon her. Wherever and whenever she is. And she isn't immune to its power anymore.</blockquote>
