For me, the biggest mistake with warlocks is being narratively rigid at the time of conception.
In my group we describe our patron to the DM. We invent patrons…and no one bats and eye.
The patron sometimes gets used to make complications or tasks for the party if they choose them...
I hate this. But it’s all about consent and the wishes of the deceased.
For example, I asked my wife to have me preserved and placed in a chair in the basement. Wires attached tot he door are supposed to open my mouth and have me start to stand.
Just to scare kids and people entering the...
I want to be lawful good. But I really trend
N/LN if I am being honest.

I was going o write something up a while back but…laziness hit.
If your read all 5e lore about warlocks, you will find much contradiction or more accurately proof of different perspectives on the reality of powers.
1. You can get warlock powers via feats, no patron required
2. There is a...
I have a lot of patience for people innocently getting a rule wrong.
I appreciate people posting helpful things on a forum.
I have less patience and appreciation for people volunteering rules advice when they are wrong or did not fill read the question.
