Item: Pact of Blood-Taking
Devil @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.pathfinder-bestiary.Actor.Barbazu]
Decipher Writing Society, Warfare Lore
You negotiate for might and viciousness.
Benefit Your successful Strikes with slashing and piercing melee weapons deal 1 bleed damage. On a critical success, this persistent bleed damage is equal to half your level.
Payment You regain half the normal number of Hit Points from resting (including Hit Points gained from long-term rest) and from any application of the Medicine skill.
Hidden Condition The barbazu owns any weapons you find. No more often than once per month, the barbazu can demand a single weapon of its choice (often the best weapon in your possession). You are compelled to hand over the weapon immediately, without question.
Termination Clause The contract guarantees that you will not "be slain by the barbazu or by barbazu action." This wording is vague; if any barbazu kills you, or if you die from persistent bleed damage from any source, the contract is voided.
Trait Effects
Contract: A contract is a type of item that magically establishes an agreement between multiple parties and typically grants magical benefits.
Invested: A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn’t invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).
Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
