![]() 1e didn't capture this at all, instead it presented a system that was more akin to both/all sides of the bargain having knowledgeable, high paid lawyers spending years hashing out every possible detail and loophole 2e's system is much simpler and far more on flavor: if someone makes a promise, even or especially an ill advised one, then a creature of faerie can attempt to bind that person to that promise.Īlso, the author says that 1e's system was a simple chart, but it's actually about ten pages of wordy rules text explaining everything that gets put in that chart, in 2e it's a bit under seven pages. How often do you read fairy tales where the promises and punishments are in any way balanced? One of the key components to stories involving the fae is disproportionate retribution for violating even a minor oath. I disagree with this assessment completely.
