Since when are any of these things pacts?But it is not. Pact imbues you with magic = sorcerer. Pact lets you channel magic from a powerful being = cleric. The pact gives you magical knowledge = wizard.
Genuinely not one of those things is a pact. The sorcerer is not "imbued" with magic from a pact. It is some kind of inherent aspect of their being. The cleric is not channeling magic, they are expressing devotion to a belief--unless you mean to devalue literally all of human religion as merely a transactional contract? Even with many of the things that fly today (like outright antitheism from certain segments of the scientific community), I doubt that would go over well. And it's...like it's literally the POINT of the Warlock that you DON'T get "magical knowledge." You DON'T become an expert. You have only what you dealt for--and trying to advance beyond that on your own power doesn't work.
I already have. I have found it wanting. Severely so. Fundamentally inadequate, in fact.Like please consider for a moment the potential of the warlock chassis for the sorcerer.
No, they didn't. They realized it wasn't worth the bother. There's rather a big difference there.People got over the warlord thing too.
