What would you guys think about a Spirit Pact that gives Initiative Passes in exchange for Karma as an alternative to ware or spell?
I ask this because I'm considering making a character for some indefinite future use that's from a culture where ware would likely be eschewed, and where there's some mystical shit going on already, but he's a mundane soldier type, because not everyone can be a shaman and I kind of want to see how this works out.
In case you're wondering, the culture I've got in mind is Hmong (Hmong studies is kind of my background anyways so it's at least something I'd kind of be familiar with and not just pulling out of my ass), and in Hmong culture, foreign elements in the body is bad news. If you get buried with any metal in you, for one, you can't reincarnate, and you need all your original pieces if you want to have them next time around. There's a lot of strictures, and they've pretty much got "keep your Essence intact" written all over them.
