Wayfarer M20 v.10.1 (185) Microlite20 Shadow: ? Skeleton Warrior: ? Wight: ? Zombie: ?

But sacrificing to the gods in D&D does not unerringly cause a wall of fire to surround your city when enemies attack. The closest would be high level clerics having consistent powerful magic. How the gods interact with people in D&D varies greatly, often there is a don't act directly on the...

From B/X Basic

Magic Users xp charts started slow but accelerated once they got going, noticeably around 6th level when they got multiple fireballs things became easier. It then slowed down again at really high levels. From 7th to 12 MU levels though they are often higher level than the fighters who are just...

Yes, but it is a 1,000 page $100 PDF.

Another pact magic model is something like the 3.5 binder from Tome of Magic who makes a daily pact from a variety of vestiges for powers for a day. Mechanically you make a check for the pact to see if you are in complete control or whether the vestige has influence on you. The various vestiges...

So to get back to the fighter, the ranged weapons thing is pretty striking. Sling is not on the 1e PH cleric weapons list table although the class description only prohibits edged or pointed weapons. In B/X it is explicitly called out as allowed as a non-cutting edge weapon and in 2e they are...

Apollo, Poseidon, and the other top tier Olympians explicitly did not create the world, they just currently rule it from Mount Olympus. Grandma/Great-Grandma Gaia predates them. :)

In B/X Basic it is clear for the xp maximum: "MAXIMUM XP: A character should never be given enough XP in a single adventure to advance more than one level of experience. For example, if a beginning (0 XP) 1st level fighter earns 5000 XP (a rare and outstanding achievement), he or she should...

I was never in a game where someone was able to level twice at one time, even when I played a human dual class character and was going from first level in my second class and was adventuring with higher level characters. For my experiences this was a theoretical limit on gaining xp but not an...

You know that since this is 1e those are not the only applicable rules, you also have to look under the helm, the specific class descriptions in the PH, and places like the DMG sections on clerics. Perhaps others. :) The DMG changing alignment section. The separate DMG cleric section. DMG...

Just FYI the original 3.5 D&D warlock was narratively a fiendish bloodline sorcerer type with less spell mechanics and more hellfire powers than the spell focused magical dragon bloodline sorcerer. "Warlock: A supernatural character whose sinister powers are inborn abilities, not spells."...

The bard’s problem here is the same as the CE thief or assassin who puts on the helmet and turns into a prohibited LG for their class. I forget if that turns them into a zero level character.

I thought the max xp rule was you stopped at one xp lower than what you needed to go up two levels, not after you hit enough to level. I am away from my PDFs right now so I will check later.

Eh, barbarians, bards, fighters (meaning the magic subclasses) monks, rangers, rogues (magic subclasses), sorcerers, and wizards, etc. do not have any special ties or consequences to their magic powers. I don't see them as pointless classes to play. Any of them can, and that can be fun to play...

That's not atheism, the disbelief of gods, its kind of a version of maltheism/misotheism, the belief that gods exist but are bad.

Not really coincidentally funny, that was the point I was explicitly making. :) (Although most are not vague on the source of the power). Plenty of room for you or others to play warlocks who pacted to serve a patron if you want to play a PC who serves a patron.

With a response of intrusive involved patrons ordering the PC around are not inherent in the 5e warlock concept. Patrons demanding active service is one story option, not the only one. Besides the pacting with an indifferent Old One there are many other options as well. Pacts can be paid off...
