Writing Contracts

[Sethron]

With the Law ability, anyone entering into a contract may make an Int+Law check when he writes the contract to attempt to put in hidden clauses, disguised in complicated legalese. The other party gets an opposed Int + Law to try to find them. Achieving more successes allows the one reviewing the contract to be able to see the hidden clauses. This also works for things like the Blood Contract ritual, or even infernal bargains.

Oh, this is fantastic! A system for this sort of thing is just what I didn't know I needed.

If you're not playing a character who writes contracts IC, or ever agrees to sign a contract IC, then you wouldn't. Just like if you never plan to buy Celerity, rules clarifications to that would be seemingly useless to you. However there are characters who do use these things, and clarifications are useful for them, and for the staff to be able to run these checks consistantly accross the board. Make sense?

I don't think he was being sarcastic, Chris. He was actually excited.

I do appreciate you calmly explaining, though, just in case!

[Cel Valentini]

Thanks for the explaination, but I am legitimately excited for this system. I plan to be writing lots of IC contracts, and this makes it simple and useful to do so!
