31 Flavors of Warlock

[grimslade]

I'm surprised no one has keyed off the feral warlock concept as a servant of nature.

When I hear the word feral, I think of wild animals. Isn't it possible that a feral warlock is a kind of Shaman, bound by an oath to a powerful nature spirit? The feywild has two components to its name, fey and wild. Why has the focus been exclusively on the fey side?

Just putting it out there.

Actually when I first heard the term I thought shaman of the spirit o the Great Bear but fey needs some love. 3E never gave them there own monster book like the Draconomicon.

I was wondering if there might be something else to the feral pacts, but all I thought of was just some variant of druid, it didn't seem like something a pact would apply to. But nature spirits, there's an idea that might work just fine. Kind of an arcane druid kind of thing, something to keep the entangle addicts satiated until the actual druid class comes out. Flavor wise, the shaman from complete divine is almost a warlock as it is, the relationship with the spirit guides being very nearly like pacts.

In other words, the warlock probably killed the shaman and took it's stuff.
