First of all, I've kinda been making a lot of new threads recently. I'll stop making so many, just after this one. thanks.
So, the thread, as you've probably guessed, is about the traitor chaplain's role-specific tool, "The Faustian Bargain". It essentially makes you a demon with contracts, sign them to get cool stuff with drawbacks, chaplain gets stronger, you get the point.
The bargain, for the most part, is immensely fun to use. however, there are two issues that reduce the fun involved.
1. Someone stealing your Briefcase
2. Endless signature contracts
Let's go over number one first. picture this. you're going around, peddling your fancy powers in exchange for a simple little soul. and then, Joepubs Mcgreyshirt decides to be a jerk and steal your briefcase while you've put it down to give someone a contract, and then space it/crusher it/hide it. that is the better part of 8 syndie-bux wasted, essentially ruining your demonic fun. I propose that the chaplain's briefcase (but not the pens or contracts) behave in a similar manner to the staff of Cthulhu, being either unable to be picked up by non-wizards entirely or by granting the chaplain the ability to recall the briefcase to them.
The second one. Endless signature contracts. Picture this yet again. You're going around, but nobody wants to sign some boring old gene activation contract, and so you practice on monkeys to get your souls up for stronger ones. and then tragedy strikes. your last contract is used up entirely, and then you're stuck with a contract to give people money, 2 gene activator contracts, a weird werewolf spider explosion contract, all of which have endless signatures. You're essentially stuck with those contracts, preventing you from reaching the fun stuff unless you spend five souls on buying a new one, which sets you back even more. I propose removing endless signature contracts and capping the number of signatures any one contract can have at four.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
