3.X Warlock Pacts?

Besides the Dark, Infernal, Fey, and Star pacts, what options does a warlock have? I'm looking for a good pact to use with worshipers of Set, the Egyptian snake god, but also just looking for variety. What else is out there?

Are you sure you aren't confusing it with 4e warlock? Technically warlocks don't have pacts, story wise I guess you can play it like that but warlocks mechanically can choose any warlock invocations in 3.X they really aren't bound by anything, they just have innate powers from outside sources.
If you really want this theme for 3.X you could look into an Eldritch Disciple and be a cleric of Set while advancing warlock invocations/eldritch blast with divine casting plus other goodies.
 

I believe default Complete Arcane warlocks are either pacted to a fiend or to fey.

The Fiendish Codex for devils made more stuff for hellfire infernal ones.

Dragon Magic I believe came up with the dragonfire adepts who do dragon flavored breath weapon blasts that are mechanically similar to warlocks with a few differences.

I'm not sure if there are any variants in things like complete mage or the other late 3e books that typically hold class variants or substitution levels for all theme appropriate classes.
 

You could also go with a bunch of options in 3.x.

Cleric is always a good one for a Set worshipper. CULTIST!

Druid can work with a snake theme. SNAKE CULTIST!

Sorcerer with a bunch of fiendish snake summoning and darkness and charm or chaos spells works well. THULSA DOOM!

Anti-paladin types can fit the theme.

Bard works as a charismatic charmer type.

Binder from Tome of Magic can be an alternate style class for making pacts with bad things while changing the flavor descriptions to be Set appropriate.
 

Right now I'm just looking to make a 3E warlock with snaky feel, but I'm also interested in anything that makes warlocks more diverse. Multi-classing is always an option, but what can we do with this class by itself?
 


Pacts add a lot of flavour to the warlock, I like 'em. We need a range of interesting pacts for 3.x to make the warlock more diverse and interesting. So, ideas? Has anyone back-converted any pacts to 3.5? Anyone have an idea at least for a pact that has not been done yet?

I'm 4.0 ignorant. What are pacts?

Look at the Fey Heritage and Infernal Heritage feats in Complete Mage and replace the word "Heritage" with "Pact".
