Pact of the Living Pact
This pactbound character can force a shared vow on a nearby foe, punished with mental harm if either breaks it - though nearing death scatters their pacts.
You've sworn a pact with a pact that has somehow survived long after the death of the original pactbinder. You gain the Forced Pact action. In exchange, this and any other pact you have made seek longevity. Whenever you become dying 3 or higher, all of your pacts abandon you and flee to the nearest safe space. You can sense their direction at all times, and if you find them, you regain all of your pacts.
Activate 1 Forced Pact; Frequency once per hour; Effect (Concentrate) You force a temporary pact on both yourself and another creature you can see within 60 feet. Choose attack, move, manipulate, or concentrate. The target must attempt a Will saving throw.
Success The target is unaffected.
Failure If you or the target uses an action with the chosen trait within the next minute, they take 10d6 mental damage, and this pact ends for both of you.
Critical Failure As failure, except your target takes the damage if either of you uses an action with the chosen trait.
