Warlocks: Who is your Patron, and what makes them unique? 🅿️2 

A patron I plan on introducing into a dnd campaign is Mother Death. She is a grim reaper that has a soft spot for children. She wishes that children that met their end too soon to have a second chance at seeing life. So warlocks that form a pact with her will have a special deal; their familiars will have the soul of a child instead of a fae. The warlocks job will be to take care of the child’s soul as if it’s their own child so that child can have a second chance at seeing the world. If they do a good job then another Death will let the warlocks have access to a plane of existence of hers that is basically a huge playground for the spirits of children. She’ll occasionally give her warlocks missions regarding saving a child or punishing someone who mistreats children.

I have a warlock whose patron is his wife. Due to a wild magic occurrence, a regular, if not charming, human accidentally ended up in an archfey's inner sanctum, or the equivalent of her bedroom. After some conversation, she asked for his name. Realizing the trap, he said "only if I can have yours" Anyway their married now. Deeply, passionatly. The only problem is he cannot survive in her realm as anything more than a pet, which isn't fair to him, so instead shs gave him what powers she thought he could manage and he returned to the mortal world to grow stronger. His focus is his wedding ring.

I had a pair of players a couple of years ago that formed an interesting arrangement. One was the warlock (I think hexblade?) and the other WAS his patron. It worked like this: patron was a genie that spread himself too thin and then got screwed out of his own powers by his other warlocks. So he lent the last of his magic to a new warlock (first guy) to physically aid him on his mission to kill the other warlocks and get his powers back, which he would then be able to use to power up his one faithful servant in order to take on more of the traitors. Patron himself made up for his own depleted powers by building contraptions and classing as an artificer. It was a really fun dynamic and set the stage for lots of interesting plothooks, but sadly due to burnout and parting ways at the end of the work season, we never got to take it very far.

I play a Hexblade Warlock named Billy. His patron is a powerful shadowfell being of pain who probably enjoys Billy's utter stupidity and devotion. This being lives in the shadowfell but sometimes talks to Billy when he needs help. Billy calls his patron a few names, originally referred to them as "the voices" but later called them "boss" and "chief". Despite wielding extremely potent and powerful magic, Billy is concerning foolish and aloof, which utterly contrasts his terrifying patron. When Billy makes an arcana check he always asks his Cursed Halberd how it works, and his patron usually answers if Billy rolls high enough. Currently in the campaign Billy's Patron is currently solo'ing a guy trying to ascend to godhood while in darkness, while we have to disable the guy's machine.

Revlyn, outwardly its just another longsword, one with a cross guard in the shape of lightning bolts. When bonded with a Hexblade and they commune with the entity in the sword they see his true form. A collosal fox composed entirely of electricity. With a voice like booming thunder he asks but one question. "Do you wish to carve your name into history?"

What MrRipper says - "Who is your Patron, and what makes them unique? What I hear - "Who is your daddy, and what does he do?" ~after-video-edit~ He did the thing!

I have a genie warlock in a futuristic setting who’s a vtuber performer that streams during her long rest (she got that insomnia invocation where she doesn’t need sleep, just down time) to earn the party some coin and remain in a noble lifestyle. Her patrons are her subscribers and as her following grows, so does her power as a warlock powers xD genie vessel is just a stream room lol

A Hexblade Warlock who has a pact with Niv-Mizzet. Her entire thing is that the pact isn't eldritch at all, and rather just an employment contract. Everything she does is flavored more like Artificer magic. Her "pact slots" are actually just batteries that she recharges with her lightning breath (she's a Dragonborn) during short rests. Instead of having the Accursed Specters, creates Weirds from the bodies of her fallen enemies. Everything is flavored to be a little Izzet. In order to stay in good standing with her otherworldly employers, she sends them records of her travels and descriptions of all of the technology she encounters. She's recently reappeared in one of my campaigns as a key NPC working on an electric submarine equipped with a magic railgun.

Caliburn the holy sword crafted from the feathers of a fallen angel. Elizabeth the 3rd was a half elf noble that wished to be a knight but was rejected by her piers due to her being vertically challenged and a woman. She set out to find Excalibur to prove everyone wrong and become the king of the knights she found a sword and pulled it from the stone but it turned out to be Caliburn, the distant cousin of Excalibur a sentient sword who in exchange of being free of the cave that held him captive grants her magical abilities. They both have a love hate relationship, Caliburn is upset he didn’t find a true big strong powerful knight to wield him. She’s mad he isn’t Excalibur. He reminds her of her “short comings” she reminds him he’s a relic so unless that even the blacksmith that made him forgot to document him

As a kid, my character found an odd book with several interesting characters in a long abandoned ruin not far from where he grew up. All these characters had their own wants and designs and every one of them had their own emblem. He found one that resonated with him and, believing it was just a book of fictional entities, adopted the name as his own when he set out. The book was actually a compendium full of demons that had long since faded into obscurity, forgotten… until one of them started to be recognized throughout the land. To know these names is to give them power, and he was reawakening all thanks to my guy pretending he was some cool dude he saw in a book as a kid. He’s actually a noble demon, no real interest in the darkness demons do have a propensity for, and is very interested in spreading his wisdom throughout the world. But for now he simply wants my guy to continue acting in his name and increasing his power, until the demon is strong enough to move about on his own.

Godzilla. No further comments your honor

So, I have two warlock multi-class characters. The first is Zidane, a Changeling Sorlock, and his patron is a Djinni Genie patron he calls Mother. Having been abandoned at birth by his mother to protect her own identity if being a Changeling, Zidane as an infant touched a ring that belonged to this Genie. She raised him, and she is a bit of a person collector. He is tasked with bringing her those who have lost hope and guide them to her. They get to live rather comfortable lives as the genie's servants in her realm, which Zidane sees as being a benefit to those he helps. The other is my Lupin Palock Roberto. He is an Oath of the Ancients Paladin/Hexblade Warlock. His rapier is a family heirloom that is passed from one family alpha to the next alpha aspirant. Within the blade are the vestiges of previous wielders. In attuning to the blade, one sacrifices a sliver of their soul to reside in the blade. It records your personality, memories and knowledge. And when the wielder dies, the fragment becomes a vestige. Presently, there are nine vestiges and 2 soul fragments (one being Roberto's father, the other being Roberto). Roberto is able to communicate with the vestiges when meditating or while sleeping. It's a spin on My Hero Academia's One For All quirk.

I had a warlock patron of the Old One. He first came to me during a time of extreme trauma. Spoke to him through his dead friends skull, which he carried with him. He would seek out people who had severe trauma or had depression and promised to help them deal with it. It would start with using awakened mind claiming his patron would bring them peace via a dream state. As the dreams start normal enough promoting peace and calm. Later devolving into madness the closer they got to his patron.

One of the things I find the most interesting about warlocks is, depending on what your patron is, you can possibly grow more powerful than the being that gave you power

Here's a dark entity unique to my homebrew campaign. Meet Edgwei, a long forgotten deity that still holds from the few followers he has. After performing an act that brings him back, during the long rest after, he offers the character power equal to theirs (Changing all their levels to Warlock) Instead of Eldritch Blast, they get Eldritch Hand, a cantrip that allows you to target a humanoid creature after making a small chant, dealing 1d12 per 100 lbs (rounded up) of the target, but only works on targets with undergarments. At higher levels, you can target larger creatures where it can even be used against giants. However the price to keep the power is to use it at least once a day, regardless of who it's used on.

One of my favorite warlocks I have played so far was named Valzyr Torrel. A Drow former thief who was bad at thieving. One night he tried robbing a mages tower, but unfortunately for him the night he chose to enact his heist was the same night the Wizards decided to try and contact a great old one by opening a portal. Valzyr caught a glimpse of this eldritch being from down the hall, but that was enough to bend his brain and send him running in a panic. It wasn't until days later when he finally rationalized what he saw into a semblance of sanity and discovered the eldritch being granted a pact to him. Valzyr then decided to set out and become a priest, spreading the word of his patron's glory! Best part is, the eldritch being didn't even notice Valzyr until he finally set up a small chapel and attracted some worshippers. Valzyr then asked who the Eldritch God's favorite servant was, and when the god gave the name of other people Valzyr decided to kill them all in the name of the Eldritch being in order to become the favorite instead. His story ended when he finally killed the other favorites and since there was no one else in the way he said good by to the party and plane shifted away to be with his patron.

TL;DR, I have an undead warlock whose patron is a discorporealized lich, who deluded himself into thinking the warlock is his dead wife. The lich was originally the big bad in an earlier campaign, who was stopped in the middle of his ascension to lichdom by destroying his phylactery before it could be completed. It left him as just a formless spirit forever drifting in the astral sea, until said warlock found him. She happpened to resemble the lich's wife, whom he sacrificed to attain lichdom. Driven insane with loneliness after being trapped in the astral sea for so long, he mistook her for his wife, unaware that she's long dead by his own hands.

Undead. My last Warlocks patron was a Corpse Candle. It's basically a vengeful spirit that seeks retribution for it's death. It stays inside your eye and tells you all the information it can to help you get retribution. It also has minor fire powers. I was a Hexblade Warlock. I died, but barganed with the DM, since it was during an important fight. I Struck at the spirit within my eye and made it into a Specter. RAW Specter stays even if I die and since I'm dead, no long rests. I, after receiving the Corpse Candles power, became it's patron. Undead Warlorck Vengeance Paladin multiclass.

Had a player that was in an archfey pact as a punishment. His character, a northern brute named Urmaz who preferred using his fists to eldritch blasts, had cut down her favorite tree, and now she gives him missions and engineers events to torment him. Even her benevolent gestures had an air of cruelty to them. For example, when the party reached level 3, he chose to be a Pact of the Chain, saying that he wanted his familiar to be a monster puppy unique to the setting that the character had as a child (for those who are curious, it is essentially a wolf with a snake's mouth structure called a yeno keshi). So, in exchange for an axe, the Fae Queen gave him a tiny fang to use as an extra component in the Find Familiar spell. However, it also tweaked how the spell worked. In order to summon little Tyg, the warlock had to relive his experiences with the puppy - including waking up to find it missing. Leaving his tribe's camp and discovering a predator over it with a bloody muzzle. Taking it to his father's tent so the shaman could heal it, only for the father to forbid it, as punishment for his negligence. And feeling that little puppy's breathing stop in his arms. Every time it was summoned, he would have to relive that terrible night. And yes, I got my player to cry.

I once made a Hexblade Warlock who wielded a sentient rapier. My DM decided, of his own accord, to add a little backstory to make the sword not only eat the souls of those I slew but also yearn to make itself complete by finding its missing pieces. Because of my DM, my character changed from a generic Hexblade Warlock to Raphael from Soul Calibur, and my sword became Soul Edge.

My favorite patron for a Celestial Warlock was the _Cleric_ in the same party. The idea was that he was my parole officer and acted as an intermediary to grant me my powers, much in the way that one would hand someone a broom to do community service to shave time off their sentence. I had some levels in Rogue and the criminal background. It was loads of fun.

I’ve had a few, Hexblade with a family inheritance as a patron that ends up as like a little brother to the warlock, an undead warlock whose patron is their own soul in a ring from a failed attempt to become a lich, and an undead warlock whose patron is a collective of ghosts that banned together to share power and rival the gods (one of whom is his girlfriend that he only ever met from this pact). Warlocks are just so much fun to design that I have tons of ideas for them.

I play a Celestial pact warlock from Waterdeep(criminal background) whose patron is a powerful Solar. She was offered the pact when she prayed for absolution or a second chance at her execution. She now has to 'loosen the chains on the people' in exchange for her powers. Her focus is a section of the executioner's axe which shattered as she made the pact. The biggest favor her patron asked her to free a large tribe of firbolg from duregar and a deep dragon (how our group of 4 level 5 PCs did this I'm really not sure). I don't want to know what the price is going to be for her patron's aid in freeing her from a band of mage hunters. (we haven't played this campaign in quite a while and I have currently taken over as the DM..maybe when we get finished with this campaign I'm running we'll go back to the old campaign)

My warforged’s patron is this giant wolf god named Haeviswerd. You see she was basically a “battle doll” without a heart, so the patron revived her by making her hexblade weapon a key to windup her clockwork heart. For the most part the patron has left her alone, but now it has given her a desire for fighting and a rivalry with the paladin (whose patron is its mortal enemy). It also has amnesia so my warlock had to find its memories.

Mine is more a pathfinder 2e story, so witch instead of warlock, but fits in great here. My player's PC, Calisaya, never met her patron, only ever having heard the whispers of a voice on the edge of consciousness, like whenever she was on the verge of death, passing out, or just waking up or falling asleep. Any other time was through hands down the most evil being I have created to this day, Ika the goldfish. Now Ika originally was just a talking goldfish trapped in a water bubble that floated above Calisaya's head, spouting cryptic and ominous lines in the deepest voice I could make, with Calisaya somehow managing to translate it, but when I played the ambience music during his first real conversation, they noticed a dark cello music playing in the background and joked that he was evil. And I rolled with it. From that point on, Ika did various subtle things that ticked the other party members off, like insulting various gods or intently snubbing them in conversations, all to the extent of causing Calisaya to be somewhat isolated from the party. Moreover, he would encourage her or the party to more reckless or heinous acts, resulting in many of the countries they traveled through putting them on a bounty list, further exasperating the issue. But the real kicker was that he frequently told Calisaya that "Without me, you are nothing. You have no power without me" and if he ever died in combat he would return several days or even a week later, which meant Calisaya couldn't restore her spells and was left scrambling each time to conserve spells, just to prove that point. It all came to a head when the party was subjected to magically enforced flashbacks of traumatic events during a magic trial, in the name of obtaining a super powerful relic. During this Calisaya came to the realization that Ika was directly responsible for every ill that had befallen her, even from before their pact was made, by turning her village against her which resulted in her fleeing a burning house with her mother inside and nearly dying a blizzard where the pact was made, to being the origin of the reoccurring villain by causing Calisaya's magic to go haywire and burning the otherwise fire-resistant aasimar and isolating her in her school she was trying to get into. In the end, she killed her familiar herself, which cut her off permanently from her magic. Ika's final words? "There will be a day when you will be powerless once more, and on that day you will grovel and beg for my return" The whole party was terrified of Calisaya's patron, despite never knowing it, all because of Ika, the master of Gaslight, Gatekeep, Goldfish.

I played a war forged warlock for a ones hit Christmas game. My patron? Good ol' Saint Nick. In the setting the original Santa Claus was dead/in a state of torpor. My character was a robot who took on the mantle of Santa, but judged everyone as naughty. It was good fun playing playing because I took some leveles in artificer artillerist so that when using eldritch blast, I could claim i was using a Tommy gun. If you hadn't figured it out bu now, I played Futurama's robot Santa claus.

Dendar, because it's so fun giving entire towns nightmares.

My latest Warlock's patron was an old wizard. He was an adventurer who retired and was living the rest of his life as a nobody in a town in the fantasy boonies, away from anyone who knows him. My character helped him in the same way a child helps an old lady; helped him cross the street, carry his groceries, fetch things from the market. Before my character left town to get the campaign rolling, the old wizard repaid my character the small favors he did for him by offering him a small portion of his magical potential and giving it to him. So, TL;DR: I was grandpa's favorite grandkid and the only one who visited him, so he rewarded me with magic. DM let me play this as a 'Great Old One' - which isn't what the subclass means, but he was cool with it.

My one and only Warlock was Uther Eisenbart; The Flying Dwarf Warlock. He was originally created for a tomb robbing one-shot we were sure to die in. Thus, we created level 9 characters going in. I loved that Warlocks came equipped with exploitable backstory, so I created my boy to be insane in the membrane. The long and short of it is: He came from a very traditional Dwarf Family. You were either a miner, or an axe wielding warrior. There was no middle ground. While his work as a miner was... passable.... he never felt "Special". Queue him finding a rainbow colored gemstone buried deep underground that gave off a faint light. The stone was the material coalescence of the power and will of "Priosma" and allowed him contact with her. Priosma was the result of the union between an Arch Fey and an Arch fiend. The result? Priosma is not evil, she has an insane curiosity about humans and various humanoid creatures that inhabit the material plane. As she is part Fey and immortal, her concept of human-like beings and what they think is... off a bit. She wants to help them, but she helps them in the manner of a Fey... Oh? You're having trouble sleeping? Here's a draught that always does the trick for me. Never mind that a "Little nap" to her could be twenty or thirty years for you. She thinks the biggest problem that people have is fighting and war, and it's her stated goal to eliminate it for all time. This is where the *actual* problems with Priosma start to surface. Her infernal blood is always messing with her Fey powers, so she never truly has 100% control over it. (A goddess level entity with wild magic in essence). It tends to "monkey paw" her powers, even when she has good intentions. As stated above, she wants everyone to "be happy and get along" so she will sometimes appear to people to act as an arbiter. Here's the problem: her ethereal beauty has an underlying enchantment to it that enthralls people (wisdom saving throw if she were to physically appear before you) and she doesn't even know she's doing. If you fail the save against her will, you wind up in one of two extremes: Zeal (just barely failing) or sloth (1-5). Those she enthralls will work with utmost diligence to make sure her goals of peace are met by any means necessary (And dead people are very quiet), or be so enraptured by her beauty, they completely forget the need to eat or sleep until they waste away. Now, if you *do* manage to resist her, she has a bit of a temper. Angering her might just end in your insides becoming an overcoat. Even other Fey realized she was dangerous, and so she was bound and imprisoned in the fey wilds and cut off from the outside world... so they hoped. She knows there are continual wars and struggles going on in the material plane and her own desire to interfere in the affairs of mortals is so strong that she can't help it. Although the fey did a good job in restraining and suppressing her fey side, her infernal side is another story. It has been warping and twisting its way through the cracks of reality, bleeding into the material plane. She is seeking a champion to set her free and bring her into the material plane body and soul, and these pieces of her power that wind up touching the realm need only be grasped for you to hear her sweet honeyed words. She promises peace and joy to her followers. Uther is the Zealot, looking for a way to bring his "Rainbow goddess" (She appears as a beautiful woman in an ever-shifting rainbow light, though if you broke through the wisdom gap, you can see stubby horns peeking out through her hair, or the unnaturally dark black where the whites of her eyes should be) into the physical plane. He just wishes that everyone could be as happy as he is, and know her beauty and goodness.

I have a fathomless simic hybrid warlock. He started life as an urchin before his captain, the late captain Brackard, picked him up and used him as a cabin boy. He learned the ropes, but eventually his captain's madness drove the whole crew to hunt a Leviathan. In a climactic battle, Captain Brackard went full Ahab on this thing before dying during the fight. Finn, my character, in his rage at his father figure being killed before him, lept with his sword plunging down into the beasts head, slaying the creature. An unforeseen consequence of him being a simic hybrid is that his DNA is highly influenceable, and the blood of the leviathan mixed with his own wounds, resulting in the dead leviathan fusing over time with him, as he gets less human and more monster over time, fighting to retain his mind as a beast threatens to overtake him

I don’t have a warlock but I have an amazing Idea for a warlock patron, 2 actually… Your divorced Archfae parents. The contract is just a shared custody agreement form, and for 2 weeks you get the powers of one parent, and for the other two weeks you get the powers of the other parent. To gain stronger powers or to be able to use thise powers, you just have to do your fair share of chores, to which you will be teleported to that parent’s house and when you complete the chore you will be teleported back (sometimes the chore isn’t a chore it’s just hanging out with that parent).

The first one actually sounds kind of like the Elder Scrolls Daedric Prince Hermaeus Mora who is the Prince of knowledge.

My Warlock was designed in collaboration with my DM at the time. I have incorporated him into my own game as my BBEG. He was designed to be a Lord of the Hells, but one who was not strong enough to transport himself into the Material Plane. At least, not with his powers. Effectively, my Warlock is his own Patron! He was able to split a small part of himself from his "Hellform?" and transport it to the Material Plane. This physical form "worships" his Hellform and was able to sap extremely finite amounts of his power from the Hells. As the BBEG, he seeks to harness the Magical Bleeds to enhance this physical form, and upon returning to the Hells, and reunite his aspects, and reach his "Final Form," and assume control of both the Hells, and the Material Plane. Trust me, it makes sense in my head.

My group has a warlock with TWO Patrons, both fighting for control. Now Hexblade warlocks don't normally have a "Patron," so to speak, but I as the GM decided that if you're going to be a warlock, something owns you soul, whether you realize or not. Enter the King of Nightmares: The literal creator of all the demons in my setting. He is often seen as a mass of tentacles and squid-like eyes, and is actually the main driving force for the cycle of reincarnation. He doesn't have many Warlocks, because he doesn't need them. He feeds on energy of souls going through the cycle of death and rebirth. But when someone picked up a sword that is connected directly to him, he had to give him power to go with it. His desire is simple, feed him and the warlock gets to live. A simple deal. Meanwhile, another potential patron is an adversary of the King of Nightmares that goes by Salt currently (an old name for the devil I heard somewhere). This guy is a dealmaker that has had a beef with the King of Nightmares for a while now, resenting his power. His M.O. is stealing warlocks from their patrons through dealmaking, and then forcing them to do his bidding to give him more power on earth. To this end, he was actually quite helpful to the party. He told the warlock who his mysterious patron was (who had not let themselves be known up to that point), helped them figure out what demon they were after at one point (A succubus. It was actually a difficult fight because I played them intelligently and had them stay out of range of the paladin's sword and sling spells while her minions did the fighting), and even got them out of an unsurvivable situation at the end of the campaign by sticking them in a pocket dimension as the culmination of a favor someone in the party owed them (not the warlock, surprisingly. He's too smart for that). I will be starting up a new campaign with the same characters after my Deadlands campaign, so we will see if the patrons take a more active role in the new game.

The first game I DMed for 5e, I had a guy that wanted to play a warlock. His character was a neutral/pretty pragmatic Aasimar, so he wanted to play a Celestial Warlock. Other than that, though, he had no preference on patron and pretty much told me to go nuts. So I did. This was a Spelljammer campaign, so I ultimately decided that his patron would be a beefed up Star Lancer (more or less a neutral celestial space shark) that was essentially the high priest of the cult (that became the star lancers) that worshipped a dead god. The patron's main goal (and what would have became the overarching plot of the party's tier 3 and 4 play if our schedules had held out) was to perform a ritual to ressurect that dead god, so the warlock spent most of his downtime researching spells, ancient history, and ascension rituals. (I also had plans for the party artificer to help forge the new body for the god by confronting the clan he was exiled from and his own crafting-deity). Played around with the ideas of the patron sacrificing themself during the ritual, so that the warlock would've had to choose to bind himself to the reborn god (staying a celestial or switching to a GOO warlock in the process, as I'd decided the god's domain was sharing ***all*** knowledge - even the stuff that would make you go mad - that was killed by a god of secrets) or walk away and shift his levels into another class like Sorcerer, with the idea that the whole pact and adventure had awakened his own innate magic. If only we'd gotten that far, oh well...

Warlock is by far my favorite class class the game and I have two warlocks planned. One is a pact of the celestial painyer whose patron is Bob Ross. The other is a woman who spent a long time wandering the feywilds and ended up falling in love with a high lord of a fey court. They were not allowed to be together and the fey lord was locked up while the character was banished to the material plane. Her fey husband is her patron and her arcane focus is their wedding ring. Her goal is to find and free him so they can live together

I played a Yuan-ti great old one/divine soul cokelock with the patron of Dendar. She was a cultist and a public face who was led into the cult to escape her awful nightmares,which Dendar was more than happy to consume.

You are a farm hand, just woken, drenched in a cold sweat. Echoing in your mind is the commandment of a newly-formed god: "go out and *LEARN EVERYTHING* so I can see it through your eyes."

Lurue, the unicorn goddess. I had a celestial tomelock that had been abandoned as a baby in a grove by her mother (race unknown though suspected to be an elf) because she was a tiefling. Lurue, sensing something odd in one of her groves, and sent one of her clerics to check it out. They found the newborn and brought her before Lurue to decide what to do. Knowing tiefling are typically reviled by human and elves, Lurue decided to consider the baby an "offering" to her and have her raised by her clerics to be a worshipper (despite her lineage, most of the clerics think Lurue wanted to experiment to see if a tiefling could be raised as good.) She was given the name Chastity, and was planning to be a Cleric herself. But around the age of 14, cultists of Malar paid mercenaries called the Red Bulls to attack the temple, and slaughter everyone and the unicorns there, stealing the foals and the adult unicorn bodies to sell and give to the cultists. Chastity only survived because she'd been sent to forage, returning to find her home and family a smoldering wreck. Lurue finds her sobbing among the burning bodies and ruins. Enraged, Lurue knows this one little child can't be a paladin at only the age of 14, but she needs a fighter to rain vengeance on their enemies. At first she plans to relocate Chastity to another temple and call upon her few warriors, but Chastity begs her to let her help. Lurue finally give in on the condition that she find the child a party that can help her, and offers her a pact since as a warlock she can access power much faster. Lurue found a team with a wizard, a rogue, fighter and appeared before them and in return for her boon they had to take on this warlock of hers and help her on her mission. The party accepts and are made immune to poison.

My character is named Nowhere. Her patron is her fiend father. He mother was made sterile in an attempt to take her life. Said child was said to cause his ruin. So instead of making her take a vow of celibacy, he tried to take her life. The woman knuckle of spite made a deal with said fiend in order to have a child. That being my character. He looks like your typical nonchalant looking business man always with a mug of coffee in hand. And trust me, you don't want him without his coffee. He can go from lawful to chaotic just like that without the coffee buzz. And he intends to treat his little girl well once she passes from the mortal realm into his own. She is literally the apple of his eye. It has a very good relationship with Nowhere's mother.

I've been wanting to run an undead warlock from curse of strahd. Instead of a mummy or zombie theme, his patron is a vampire that took a fancy to him. In life, she was a famous poet whom he adored. She faked her death to avoid suspicion of being a vampire, but now she rides on his neck as a vampire bat under a scarf. He's got what looks like a black lipstick stain on his neck, but it's actually a necrotic wound he scratches at. He writes her poems, and she uses him to do her bidding which mostly involves traveling the world.

My character is a hexblade warlock, aasimar. His patron is his mom, Red Knight. She gave him this power to bring back her dead lover, his dad, and send him to a different afterlife. And also to piss off Raven Queen, may be.

I have an aberrant mind sorcerer / great old one warlock whose patron is a dying sentient star. Enemies killed by his spells are transported to his patron to become fuel to keep it burning. Obviously, a handful of bodies isn't going to make much of a difference, but that doesn't stop it from demanding sacrifices in a futile attempt to prolong its own life, no matter the cost. I also have a genie warlock whose wife was killed by a 7-foot-tall otter (unbelievable story as per his fisher background), so he made a deal with a powerful marid to eventually bring her back to life in exchange for his servitude. He also wears his wife's shawl as both a memento and a reskinned pact amulet. I have a feeling the marid is going to pull a Monkey's Paw gotcha and bring his wife back as her eternal handmaiden or something so my character has to keep working for her forever so they can stay together, but that's part of the fun.

That time traveling cavewoman warlock of the great old ones sounded interesting

For a particular campaign, I designed a Warlock whose patron was an extradimensional being who - despite his massive fountain of power - could not manifest a physical form for himself in the same dimension as said warlock. So, I designed a unique warlock subclass focusing on summoning your patron as a familiar and using you as a conduit in order to manifest himself into your dimension! This partnership not only grants you magical powers, but making a pact with this interplanar entity also grants you a free therapy animal who can talk back to you! The character I specifically designed this subclass for was also a Mute, so the mystical patron essential acted as the character's mouthpiece on her behalf. It was especially fun getting to roleplay an otherworldly being learning how to act and function in the body of a domestic house cat.

I had an undying patron warlock whose vampire master tasked her with solving the ultimate puzzle: world peace brought about by free will. Why? Well, pain and drama were easy to create for the vampire. But bringing about a world where everyone is willing to just be chill with each other? If he could solve that, then he could be worshiped through the most mighty source of power: respect. It wasn't a very well-thought concept, but it amused the DM enough to be allowed.

My first character that finished a campaign was a Dragonborn Hexblade warlock. Since we were starting in jail I made my backstory have the sword who gave me power frame me for murder. Lumixan was an archeologist who found a sword in the end of a dungeon. When he grabbed it it caused everyone else on his team to die and him to pass out until guards came to investigate and arrest him

a player of mine wanted to use an undead warlock but couldnt decide who his patron should be, so i had an idea. i said trust me, ill make it and you can figure it out in game. so we did. now this campaign was a pirate campaign that revolved around chasing a fallen star that the party had attempted to reach. however before they reached it they were set upon by storms and 'giant waves' (water elementals, some of you have figured it out). their ship sunk and they washed up on a mysterious island where they fought a sea troll and some skeletons (little did they know that was a hint). As the campaign went on the warlock received visions, dreams, and even comunications from his patron. eventually he was granted more information, including that he had 2 patrons who seemed to be joined somehow. he would later learn their names and be able to communicate with them. it was revealed that neither patron liked the other and they didnt have a clear explanation for his pact. several priests and wiards ruled out the major gods and said it felt like an undead abaration of sorts, but also not (as such things do exist). towards the end of the campaign they met a chosen of Umberlee who revealed that "you reek of kraken, and spit the magic of an elder lich. trust me, i know undead and sea beasts better than anyone". it turns out that his patrons were a kraken gaurding his new treasure, a fallen star that contained the phylactry of the lich, and a lot of raw magic power. When the star crashed it sent out a wave of power, which was soaked up by the rogue granting him life (reborn) and the seeds of his power. he never had a pact because the connection was unwilling, they just lied and bullied him into doing their dirtywork but consequences were never forthcoming because they didnt own his soul. One cleric even said "you know it's odd, ive met a necromancing warlock before, nice lad, but his magic felt much different than yours. you remind me more of a sorcerer than a warlock or even cleric" hinting that his power was internal, and being expressed as warlock spells. This was furthere hinted when he met another diciple of the lich who was a wizard, not a warlock, implying that he didnt make warlocks. in the end he changed patrons, Sylvannis wresting away his connection in exchange for saving one of his druids. and they killed the patrons in the final boss fight which was fun. lvl17 party vs a majorly beefed kraken and a lvl20 lich.

In the group I DM, our Warlock's patron is a Demon he used to play as long time ago

First ever DnD character for me is a Great Old One Warlock that I flavoured a bit since I'm a fan of mindfuck stands from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure such as Heaven's Door. Gonna eventually take Pact of the Tome and have it so that it manifests as the character's soul is a sentient pile of books and tome. I took skills like Dissonant Whispers and somehow somewhere down the progression of my sessions "mindfuck" became "relentless cyberbullying of every enemy I come across" because I misunderstood the spell description to mean "invading the enemy mind with intrusive thoughts". And I've also flavoured the vocal component of Hex to be in joke jinxes in my friend group. So now I've killed like 3 enemies flat out with dissonant whispers and I am currently melting Drows because of a lethal Hex and Agonizing Blast combo.

I actually have an idea for a Hexblade/beast Barbarian who leans more toward Barbarian and is heavily inspired by Kreig from the Borderlands games, complete with a mask made of wood and bone. His Hexblade is a large, cursed, one-handed axe called "The Soul Eater's Maw" that permanently changes anyone who grabs its handle on a physical and mental level. He's human, but more resembles a shaved Bugbear with long, black, messy hair and only speaks in psychotic nonsense that sometimes, somehow pertains to the situation. His patron, the eponymous "Soul Eater", is actually a spiritual manifestation of his former self with no memory of who he was before, his lost sanity, trapped within the axe. He can telepathically speak to the as of yet unnamed warlock and uses the souls of those slain by the axe to fuel his magic. Their whole deal is that the patron is trying to lead the warlock down the path of good while looking for a way to fix their situation and, hopefully, find out who they used to be.

I don't play a warlock, I have a patron for them in my games. He the survivor of the destruction of a reality he was *supposed* to be a guardian of. So he and the other would be guardians are trapped in-between the lower realities with what's left of their home. He finds vulnerable realities, makes a warlock pact and uses that connection to eventually possess the warlock completely and set up the end of that reality by allowing the rest of his being into it. In order for him to do this the potential warlock must be a variant of the patron native to that reality and he typically only has a shot while that variation physically exists. He also tends to pop up as the bbeg in several different games.

You've been battling a unicorn for days. It is an extraplanar being that you are oath-bound to expel. The two of you are evenly-matched. You wound one another simultaneously, but it's not fatal for either of you -- you each step back and heal. For one moment, your thoughts align with an acknowledgement: "this one's strength rivals my own." An honest, unreserved admittance by two till-now-undefeated champions. And that's enough. Your souls entangle, linking and compounding each of your strengths both. You land another hit, but feel your own strength flow out. It lands a reply, but you feel that it doesn't hurt as much as it should. Maybe the universe was playing a joke. You are bound to be evenly-matched for all eternity -- neither of you will ever defeat the other. You can either stay here and fight till you are both old and gray, or part ways, and work together, separately, to increase your own and each other's power.

My character made a wine tasting club on a boat ride to help return a princess, but the thing eventually devolved into a wine CULT, where my character, Claid Haemorr summoned either Cthulhu or Dionysus and went from a barbarian/fighter to a barbarian/warlock.

I just started a campaign with a brand new PC. A paladin serving a house of noble alongside his squad. During an escort mission on the sea, the ship sank and everyone who didnt make it to the lifeboats were going to drown. My Pc, as heroic one could be, made sure all of em would survive, dragging em all to safety until exhaustion was too much for him, and he drowned. Surprised and pleased by such actions. A good-natured sea monster(the sea emperor of subnautica as described by my DM) chose to give him a second chance at life. In exchange of her power, as a warlock of the fathomless, he was to help prevent an incoming calamity on the world and keep protecting the weak. He is now known as the drowned hero with his folk's hero backstory. Paladin 2 warlock 1. I'm planning to get him to devi pal 5 and then put every level in blade pact warlock. He is a ligh-weight Warladin base character using a glave, and my friends jokingly call him aquaman.

Ancient mercury dragon. Quite powerful, good alignment. The dragon just wants “unique” treasures and stories from afar in return. But the dragon’s influence isn’t all good. Basically, it’s trading power for sanity

PANR broke a tooth.........

I had a goowarlock where she basically worked for that universes SCP foundation. and her patron was basically sealed inside of her body, she was able to draw from her patron's power this way, but when she cast it spells or lost too much HP she would start to deform or mouth and eyes would start to randomly appear across her body. she was able to consistently cast the sky self to hide it. and I do find it funny how one of my party members wasn't interested until they saw her deformed form of weirdly turned on by it. hehehehehe

I made a Tiefling Warlock who was adopted by an (thankfully very forgiving) Aasimar she attempted to steal from; the Aasimar, which I named Eve, they’re bond (best compared to that between a mother and her daughter) made the tiefling (Wilora Initinova) a warlock of Eve, unbeknownst to either of them

Aarakockra Warlock, patrons to one of the Wind dukes of Aeor. other than having to try to help prevent calamity, all that's asked of him is to try to seek out at least parts of the rod of seven parts.

Gghrthlgog is a death god, but don’t let that fool you, he’s one part Ted Lasso, one part Ned Flanders, all heart of gold. The other infernal deities think he’s a loser and play pranks on him. Currently, he’s shackled to an inverted trilithon for a thousand years as part of one of those pranks, but he’s very good at taking jokes with good humor. He’s spending that time giving undying power to beings on the verge of becoming evil and then using his influence to make them behave benignly, including Caitiff, a yuan ti outcast with now-deferred dreams of choking the rivers with the corpses of his enemies.

Mandatory not mine but a PC from an older campaing created a Fiend Warlock , the thing was that the fiend was an particulary clever Imp named Ixion , so he gave tasks to his warlock that would help him gain points , dirt , wisdom , power , etc.... and get promoted , so the stronger he got the stronger the warlock became The task were ralated to the current story and every so often Ixion would appear as a new devil type having moved ranks , eventually it became the whole party hidden benefactor and it was revealed that he was a minion of Levistus and controled a dozen other warlocks and that all the tasks were mean to weaken Dispater influence (who was also related to the others PCs backstories) and shift blame to him for Levistus crime thus freeing him from his prison , most stuff happened offscreen ofcourse , but in the final battle they tricked Dispater with help from Glasya , Fierna , Zariel and Mammon to come out of his tower and expose himself , where the party + dozen unnamed warlocks fought his entourage (Pitfiend + 5 Erinyes + 20 Barbazu) while Levistus possesing a Cloned body of the Warlock PC and Ixion fough the Archdevil along Ixion , in the end Ixion became a Duke of Hell and incharge of Dis where the party had a massive garden state and basically seen as high ranking officials under Ixion himself

The god of extreme sports

I had a sort of patron in the one game. The god of ravens. Pathfinder 1e game, a lesser deity with only the feather subdomain of animals that we could discern. i was a ranger with one of the deities servents, a silver raven that can transform from figurine to raven. I did my best to protect the bird while also being in combat, as it hated arcane magic. it got stolen after i bled out in combat with some cultists. I was searching for enough power to go retrieve it, then the campaign kinda ended.

Paladin/Fiend Warlock. Rather than having a patron, her powers come from a continued exposure to devils, one wanting power from her, and the other being the patron of one of her friends. It's a bg3 character, but I plan on making her an actual dnd character

I had a player whose patron was a forgotten goddess who favored him because he was her one worshiper. She didn't have much power to grant him, but she was sort of like a mentor figure. She would however frequently nag him about when he was going to take on apprentices, with the air of an elderly mother asking for grandkids. 😂

My kitsune warlock is the adopted daughter of one of the noble houses of the seelie courts. As a kit she crawled into the fae faewild and, terrorized her soon to be uncle. A brigganock. He didn't want to hurt an innocent child so called for the local fae dutchess. Who thought the fluffy kit was adorable and adopted her shortly there after. The kitsune became an adopted noble, and her mother is the connection to the archfae, and the one my warlock communes with. However, my warlock was excluded/kept ignorant from a warlock war, and might be the last of her kind due to the price a wish spell demanded. This new knowledge is making my warlock wonder if there is more to her being in the fae wild all those years ago, and what machinations are in play. She is scared to ask questions because she doesn't doubt the love she and her adopted family have for each other, and Dosn't want to loose that. Of and High Queen Titania has been kidnapped and my warlock is the best chance of finding/saving her. No pressure (Fun detail, in my dms setting im the ONLY archfae warlock pc)

New dm here. I'm running a FNAF themed campaign, and one of the characters that will appear is a night Guard who was unknowingly infected by the glitchtrap virus, and thus has glitchtrap/the spirit of William Afton as his patron. He doesn't know that he is possessed, and doesn't completely know what "demon" is granting him his power, only that his power is great. However, this possession does make him able to be occasionally controlled by glitchtrap (who is also the BBEG). I plan to have him betray the party right as shit gets REAL.

So... my character (a wild sorcerer/ moon druid kenku) is a devoted worshipper to the entity of chaos. With the goal of spreading chaos across the lands for it's entertainment. 2 things make this a unique connection. The first is that the connection is from a blank check that was made early on where my character asked for help with no price set. For all I know, they could ask me to pay my life or eat 64 cookies in one sitting. Chaos means anything and everything could happen. The 2nd is that I'm currently a vessel for chaos... let me explain. Our party was tasked to investigate which lead to destroying a large cluster of god stones (gemstones with the essences of the gods contained in them) and it was causing chaos in the area (water having reversed physics bad) but this made chaos use me as a safe house as when the Godstones get destroyed, chaos would experience a vacuum of chaos too feed on. TLDR. I'm currently feeding my god (chaos) with chaos.

I play a Human Genie Warlock who thought he was a Paladin 😅 His mother (the matriarch of the family) was actually the one who made the pact with the Genie (named Jomo), making herself and my character warlocks. My character didn’t know any of this at the start of the campaign. He was just a spoiled, playboy, noble who’s dream was to become a Paladin like his older sister. Unfortunately he obviously lacked the conviction to make an oath and become one. After the pact was made and he cast Eldritch Blast for the first time it was while sparring and he thought he did his first mini-smite. I thought it was funny so I actually played the first couple months of the campaign battling like a Paladin. I got into the front lines, I fought with a sword, and I only used Eldritch Blast when I was in melee because he, thinking he was smiting, didn’t know he could use it at range 🤣 Anyways throughout the campaign my character has had it rough. Jomo eventually revealed himself shattering my characters self image, his mother secretly sold the family fortune trying to overthrow the government and getting in with organized crime, his father disappeared into the Feywild, etc. Jomo eventually explained that my PC only has one task in order to maintain the pact. Sire a child. It took months but I realized that Jomo’s plan was to create an army of save/soldiers. As the pact continues being passed down through generations Jomo will after centuries have a whole lineage of warlocks at his command. After months of delaying and refusing to answer the order, my PC finally grew a backbone and told Jomo f-off. Jomo nonchalantly said “bet”. He immediately severed the pact and transferred the pact to my characters little brother. My character ended up making other Pact with Titania through a connection to the Feywild. But the catch is that once the BBEG and Jomo are defeated, my player has to serve on Titania’s court and never return to the material plane. Campaign is on hiatus, but I’m excited to return and see how things ends up.

Not a patron but my Paladin Beezil was a demon lord that conquered multiple rounds, he was eventually challenged by a goddess of justice. For three days and three nights they battled. Then she looked at him and said “I am bored” b*tched slapped him: he knew he loved her and brought her flowers and stuff. He offered to conquer a world in her name but she told him if he truly wished to be her consort he would have to become a disgusting hero: He gave up all his powers 100% tiefling until he can die a hero.

I'm playing a Celestial Warlock in the game I'm playing my patron is Bahamut. My warlocks name is Nogard Hatmaub she is also a Drow Elf. In the campaign, my character is trying to avoid her family as they want to combine her with a Deamon Lord Nethrel as it is LLoths wish. My character is Lawful Neutral and is fighting to save the world with the group I'm currently running with. She just recently learned to read Abyssal so she can find a way by reading from the book. She is carrying ways to stop the ritual from happening to her if her family gets a hold of her again to perform it as well as save the world from destruction. Nogard has a companion who is a Minotaur named Thunderflame (Arcane Armor Artificer) also Lawful Neutral. The DM is one of my friends, and we've played in each other's campaigns three other times well before the pandemic. I started the campaign she is running about the 8th or 10th session. It's been a fantastic game so far and look forward to every session.

Leviathan creature from Final Fantasy series, it wants warlock hunt dangerous beasts. Killing monsters with spells wil please it. Bigger the better. If prey is not hunted, warlock starts to getting tired

ah yes, that first one is definitely Hermaeus Mora

I’m playing a ghost in the machine warlock And my patron is Hatsune Miku Basically my character comes from a world where technology is far more advanced so the Vocaloids are much more advanced to the point where they sentient and very powerful, her and the other Vocaloids created their own warlocks and sent them into the world where the campaign takes place to see which warlock can spread there vocaloid’s influence, Let’s just say, my character has a very high charisma

One of my players is playing as a fairy. In my game that means she can make fae pacts with the other player characters. However, her fairy recently got replaced by a Doppleganger. So now if anyone asks about a pact, she has to come up with excuses why she cant

Alright, I have two for you. First: Baldrick Bluefield is a nobleman Hexblade Warlock. He's got a heart of gold and is skilled in all things social, but is foppish, lanky, and physically weak. He ran away from home because he believes that a nobleman should be a capable warrior, which he is not. He encounters a Magic glaive that speaks to him, offering to make him a true warrior if he promises to become its clerk once his Noble title is restored. What he does not know is that the glaive is actually an unseelie fey that wishes nothing but to inflict suffering on mortals. Issue is, she's very bad at making deals, which is why she got turned into a glaive in the first place. In fact, she has already messed up her deal with Baldrick, as he never lost his Noble title in the first place. These two have a sort of Pinky and the Brain dynamic, where she comes up with a dastardly but flawed plan for Baldrick to execute, and he messes it up by following it in a technically correct fashion while doing the right thing. Second: Virgil Lockwood is a chain-smoking thief who's also a celestial pact Warlock. His patron is a phoenix who was cursed to not reincarnate when her last ember burned out. The way that they met is that he stole the censer her embers were being kept in, believing it to be magic. As he was escaping, he was shot through the lung with a triangle headed crossbow bolt. The phoenix, being a merciful and kind soul, told him that she had just enough strength to hold his lung together, but not enough to fix it, and that she can only do that so long as her ember still burns. Virgil's solution was to use her Amber to light a smoke, and now she lives on as the bud in his cigarette, keeping him alive and granting him warlock powers. They bicker and banter constantly because she is an idealistic and noble person, while he is nihilistic and selfish.

I betrayed an ancient fae dragon to worship a golden shield

My patron is a dao genie who's personality is stoned

I want to play a warlock that is this grizzled veteran looking guy, but he has a tiny kitten that he dotes on, except when combat starts. he throws the kitten at enemies as his Eldritch Blast, or as his Pact Blade weapon. the kitten scratches the crap out of the enemy, Rabbit of Caerbannog style, then returns to his hand.

The Celestial appears to those with enough intelligence as a biblically accurate angel. Without intelligence, they appear as a female humanoid angel with white wings. They make pacts with those who wish to do the work of the holy but lack the aptitude to become official clerics or paladins. This pact comes at the cost of infesting the host with dark power, making them a balance of holy and unholy. As a cruel twist, the Celestial will strike down any servant who gravitates towards either extreme as they wish to see their host balanced, not divine or unholy.

My guy us a great old one who is restricted to a small realm (has been sealed). They just want to see the world! Theyre not even evil.

I am trying to figure out how to work out a warlock whose patron would be the voices in his head.

I've been wanting to play a warlock that as a child made a deal with a god almost (not really but similar) that was killed and had its physical body destroyed it reached out to him as his village was being invaded They made a deal that the patron would give him all the power the patron has to defeat the invaders and after that give him a small portion as his power In return the patron would live in my character and slowly take over is body giving him more and more power as he takes over my character can willingly give up part of his body to get the power immediately

Warlocks. who is your daddy? and what does he do?

obligatory not me, but another player was using a homebrew patron...that made him Ghost Rider that's it. was immune to non-magical fire damage, could only transform in darkness or at night, and would gain temp hp every round. could extend this effect to another player if they were big enough to be mounted could also gain proficiency with any vehicle, provided they were in contact with it, and could make 1 vehicle summonable as if under the effects of the Find Steed spell under normal circumstances, not too bad. the temp HP needed toned down a bit, but otherwise was fine HOWEVER...we were in a modern setting...meaning we had MODERN VEHICLES Ghost Rider with a Abrams Tank, enough said! as for me? I had a character concept rolling around in my head would be a sorlock multiclass/gestalt who would have their patron be Tiamat and is tasked with killing Bahamut. yes, very evil, and that is half the fun, is that he'd be secretly evil. but would get a redemption arc and go from Pact of the Fiend with Tiamat to Pact of the Celestial with Bahamut

I never like this character … I was young Kenku when I encounter dying … something DM described it as “Mass of feathery wings rapidly rearranging” It spoke to me telepathically and offered me a pact. IT will live inside my eye and I will get power. So I became warlock. My patron had 2 unusual features, if I commit evil act stealing, harming friends, burning orphanage etc. (that did not include evil that will lead to positive result) I will take 1D4 psychic damage. Additionally due to having fallen celestial in my eye my perception could be temporarily increased and I could add 2 points to my AC during fight but at the start of every turn I had to make saving throw DC10 +2 for each time I used it without taking long rest. If I fail I get 1 point of exhaustion. And we were playing survival campaign. I died on day 12th.

"Who is your Daddy and what does he do?"

while this is a patron, its not quite a WARLOCK patron so to speak Im running a percy jackson dnd game where the goddess of magic has been captured and her power over magic is being distributed across the world, empowering both Demigods (the players) and monster alike (allowing for more dnd style monsters to appear) much to the danger to mortals and demigods as well as this power might actually kill them The party wizard, a son of Apollo, while taking an underworld Taxi driven by a ferryman found a onyx lamp that became his spell focus in the backseat this lamp was named "Cynic" and was previously owned by Diogenes Diogenes was a philosopher in ancient Greece and was the most crass man out there, annoyed everyone and had the belief that common decency and manners was "Lying" and that there wasn't a single honest soul in those times THIS MAN TOLD ALEXANDER THE GREAT TO KICK BRICKS TO HIS FACE and alexander respected the hell out of that History lesson on that over Diogenes pulls the wizard into dreams where he praises the demigod, saying people as smart as them understand how the world works, that everyone are fools and that they are the only ones that can sieze what they want Diogenes was a simple man, he ignores the rules of society and its norms, does what he pleases and even death has no real hold on him He advises the wizard on the next course of action, he reprimends the party when they act stupid through the wizard as the middle man and all he wants, is to find someone that can efficiently carry out his philosophy even if he has to possess the wizard to do so The benifits the wizard gets from this partnership is some custom features as Cynic the lanturn is a custom item, allowing some niffty abilities with divination spells, necromamcy and if possible, allow the wizard access to the druid spell list as well Patrons don't always gotta be linked to warlocks, sometimes a patron will invest power and interest to those they deem fitting

You're a wizard, but a pretty lousy one. Your familiar offers to school you in magic. It takes a while, but you eventually find that you are far better with a fiddle than a wand.

So this isn’t nessisarily a warlock thing but I had a cleric that had a homebrew character based around taking voluntary damage in return of temporary hp he is a cleric of Tyr beacause he is the god of honourable sacrifice and the protection of others I just thought this would be the best place to share this

Someone should check in on Brian he doesn’t sound okay

Three of my favorite 1 undead is a sentient skeleton super computer 2 fea reborn child who soul is in his tebby bear his patron is his Nana whose a green hag his mother skeleton carries him around 3 so a why back the dungeon dad had video about a pie fiend thing and it made me whant to make a fiend warlock with all the spell re flavored

have tried a lizardfolk warlock following the great old ones istasha and lythalia. theyre related entities, so theyre basically sharing a contract with my warlock. sometimes one entity gains more command than the other and dominates my questline. lythalia despises civilised things like industry and technology sometimes and sends me on sabotage missions, which isnt always helpful. istasha is much more wicked but also compassionate at the same time. she often demands to fix issues regarding society, diplomacy and religion. she is whimsical though, so consequences be damned. my warlock communes with his great old ones through a sphinx who acts as an oracle and watcher. annoying magic cat creature. not helpful at all. i think she is a leader of a terrorist cult. but im not sure if i actually joined or if i am more of a freelance terrorist right now. the party is absolutely clueless about my background stuff for now. although they call me being unnecessarily merciful just because i enthralled (dominated person, whatever) a few antagonist for seemingly no other reason than to redeem them. i am supposed to be evil here! so far i collected: tabaxi oathbreaker paladin cursed by her goddess after her religion hunted her species. corrupted dryad wild magic sorceress abandoned by her coven and hunted by druids who wanted to mercy-kill her. well, until next time i get the order to deliver bomb packages via suicide bird to the local store alley!

Brought it up before but Steven He's Dad as a Warlock Patron..... and owner of succesfull buisness Ravnica corn and has a champion named Timmy that always seems to be doing better than you

Can't find the link to the adventure you talked about at the beginning of the video!

When I read that title, I can't help but hear in a thick Austrian accent, "WHO IS YOUR DADDY, AND WHAT DOES HE DO?" Edit: and after watching the video all the way through, I see that's with good reason 😂

From my experiance with DnD experts and bg3 fans, you either make basic bitch eldritch blast spammer or play sorcerer with me trying to play fiery fiend warlock with no eldritch blast lol

Who is your daddy and what does he do

Here's an idea I've been brewing for a while. For me, I always like a little bit of joke in my characters, it helps me connect with them more. So, a warlock that I have sitting in the wings for when the time is right, Bertrand, is a little old man, who's wife passed of old age and his two sons died in service to the crown. He lived his life tending to his farm and garden. As old age brought an end to his life, he made his way up to his garden to view it one last time, telling his beloved flowers and bee hive he took care of that he was sad there wasn't anyone to watch out for them after he passed. Spending his last sunset on that hill before succumbing to death, only then to wake back up. My idea being the bee hive is a portal to the feywild, and an arch fey queen bee has granted him "un"life to spread flowers and spread her influence across the world. He has to carry her hive on his back, and it is only that direct contact with her court that grants him his powers. Where's the joke in this you ask, his name. Bertrand Elijah Zwaxx...B.E.Zwaxx.. Sorry, not sorry, Brian.
