Being beholden to a strange, otherworldly entity gives
you a certain style that none can match. Sometimes this
style takes the form of an interesting quirk that makes
you the memorable master of the dark arts you are.OTHERWORLDLY QUIRKS

raw onions.
2 When you are in a stressful situation, you shout every
fourth word you speak.

fortably hot water feels cold to you.
6 You have to slap some creature roughly before you

7 You're just not comfortable unless your clothing fea-

from fine Calimshan silk or the flayed skin of fiends is
totally up to you.MARKETING ls EVERYTHING
There's an old Luskan saying: "They could sell water

that's you in a nutshell-using the connections of your
pact to sell your skills. your services, and your legend.
The right people need to hear about you, and the wrong
people need LO be completely unaware of your existence.
A good motto for yourself (and your franchise, if the
other characters are worthy) can be the difference be-
tween wasted days in endless taverns waiting for oppor-tunities, and constantly filling your bag of holding with
