Pact Broker

A bargained truce trades honesty for safety, but breaking the peace triggers a mental strike and a lasting combat penalty for the offender.

uncommonFocusAuditoryCantripConcentrateHexLinguisticMentalWitch

You offer to broker a pact of peace. If the target accepts and doesn't take hostile actions against you and your allies during the hex's duration, you take a –1 status penalty to Deception checks to Lie to them. If they refuse and take a hostile action against you or an ally during the hex's duration, they must first attempt a Will save. If they accepted the offer and then take a hostile action against you or an ally during the hex's duration, they must first attempt a Will save and treat the result as one category worse. Regardless of the outcome, the target is then temporarily immune for 1 minute.

Success The target is unaffected.

Failure The target takes 2d4 mental damage and a –1 status penalty to attack and damage rolls against you and your allies for the hex's duration.

Critical Failure As failure, but the penalty is –2.
