60+ power as a racial is absolutely NOTHING to sneeze at, but this thread got me thinking on how Nethradin can be set apart from previous demon-like rebirths.
Witchcraft was an interesting idea, but Hexes were pretty strong to be given out freely. As an alternative, I think Nethradin should be able to "Contract" with PCs with a few different applications.
Contracting would be a racial unlocked at 200 which costs 3 essences to use. You would create a contract with a PC that lasts for a set amount of time, in which the Nethradin and PC select a benefit from each other. Each player would receive a mechanical contract paper in their inventories that outline the time limit, benefits, and costs of the contract.
Options for PCs:
Hunter's Eye and Demon Summons from the previous Demon racial tree
Companionship (Long range telepathy with Nethradin and limited summoning capabilities)
A reasonable vit/pow buff
Options for Nethradin
Contractee cannot attack Nethradin/Shadowmire Creatures
Contractee is aged 5-10 years instantly
Contractee suffers a Blessing-like nerf for 2-3 years
This gives Nethradin an interesting niche with their witchcraft, allowing for devil-type characters to run around and have soul contracts, without having to make a huge adjustment to how Nethradin play in battle. Just an idea!
