[@Dead Cruiser]: Well, by that logic half the Egyptian gods, a good chunk of the Nordic ones, and a few beings who preside over the dead are no good. Also, like, 95% of anything in 'Outlier' is dead/has been killed in mythology, and that doesn't exactly make for interesting dynamics if you're not making a contract as much as you are looting off a corpse. Kinda defeats the point of the whole idea.

I still remain iffy about the power scaling regardless, though, as that seems to be the issue you've casually sidestepped here.
