Soul Brokers Guild

Spellcast Trait: Strength

You have placed your immortal soul on the line in exchange for power.

Foundation

Bargain: You have made a deal with a demon or similar entity for your immortal soul. Work with your GM to determine the details of the bargain and what conditions must be met to save your soul. Gain an additional Stress slot.

Demonic Form: You gain access to a Demonic Form that you can enter and exit at will. While in this form:

  • You are unrecognizable

  • When you succeed with Fear on an attack roll, add your Fear die's value to the damage roll.

Specialization

Fear as a Weapon: While in Demonic Form, use a d20 for your Fear die. If it rolls a natural 20, it is considered a critical success.

Raise the Stakes: Once per session, when you mark your last Hit Point, your Soul Broker appears and offers to save your life in exchange for altering the terms of your contract. Work with your GM to come up with new terms. If you accept, treat it as if you rolled a critical success for the Risk it All death move and the GM permanently increases their maximum Fear by 1.

Mastery

My Turn: After a long rest, place a d4 on this card with the 1 value facing up. When you succeed with Fear, you can mark a number of Stress equal to the current value of the d4 to keep the spotlight on the players' side, then increase the die value by 1. Remove the die once it exceeds its maximum value or on your next long rest.
