Rework the faustian bargain traitor item

[Noah Buttes]

The chaplain who spawns the briefcase cannot sign the contracts himself. How's he gonna sell his own soul to himself???

Bureaucracy is how.


But anyway, I haven't been able to actually witness these contracts yet, but the current situation definitely sounds like it needs rebalancing.

In terms of TC cost, 12 feels extreme right now. I'd suggest giving it the treatment that things like csabers and shotguns currently get where they cost at least 7 TC so that you can't buy more than one. This also gives room to buy other items to accent the contracts.

Edit: I just got an idea: Maybe as part of the random nature of contracts and in in its ability to backfire for both the signer and chaplain, give it a chance to mindslave the signer? As said, it's a chance.

7 TC sounds good.

Mindslave chance just really doesn't work that well with the "fucking with dark powers beyond your comprehension" kind of mishapery I'm shooting for.. What might work better is a dedicated mindslave contract with a very low duration, say 5-10 minutes.
