It really boils down to warlocks being all about the sex. Fiendpact has succubus, archfey have a thing for warlocks with ass’s heads, etc Apart from celestials, who are a bunch of prudes.

It was necessary to solve another another big problem - DMs screwing with paladins. But there is no reason the player can’t expand on the tenets of their oath.

Well obviously, there isn't a game that can't be improved by the addition of a flying cat.

A player might choose to roleplay a paladin who falls (at least under 2014 rules). The DM shouldn't be screwing with them at all. If you look at the paladin tenets in the 2024 rules, they have been made so broad that it is almost impossible to break them, unless the player says their character...

No, they cannot. A paladin player could choose to become an oathbreaker using the optional subclass changing rules, but there is no way to force them to change. I don’t think subclass changing is in the 2024 rules though (I could be wrong) so it’s actually impossible for a paladin to become an...

Whist the subclass name is archfey, the text presents a wider range of ideas. After naming a few archfey is goes on to say this:

The thing about BG3 is it has examples of both ways of doing it. If you want the story to involve conflict with a patron you can play as Wyll or include him in your party. If you want a patron who is not involved unless you choose to mention them in dialogue you can play as Warlock Tav. Value...

You mean the British East India Company? There was also a Dutch. The main difference is these companies remained allegiant to a nation-state, even when acting without their consent or control. In cyberpunk the corporations are entirely independent of nationhood.

Legally correct, but I have seen employers try it on anyway, taking advantage of the general ignorance of the law to try and bluff people into keeping quiet.

It's not in the rules. The same goes for clerics, paladins, etc. There are no rules in 5e for removing PC powers or denying them advancement.

If you think that, you haven't understood Cthulhu. Cthulhu is beyond noticing their human followers. Cthulhu doesn't care about ending the world. If that happens, it's just treading on an ant when their followers poke them awake. And this is the thing. No matter how legalistically you interpret...

The patron is an NPC, and therefore run by the DM. But NPCs cannot remove PC powers, or stop them levelling, or in anyway interact with the meta. They can only act within the game world. And Cthulhu is not going to turn up in the game world to stomp a PC for being nice to little old ladies...

Great Old Ones are rarely aware that they even have warlocks drawing on their power. You are being far to legalistic in your interpretation of the word "pact". Which is my point - devils are basically lawyers with horns. But many of the other warlock patrons (including other fiends) are very...

IN your original post, you say this: The gods of Eberron are in no way "person-like", even when a religion is polytheistic.
