Message: <blockquote data-quote="77IM" data-source="post: 6628701" data-attributes="member: 12377">I like the idea of a "pact with no-one" but I'm not sure how to phrase this as an Otherworldly Patron. The best I've got is:The Weave. Your patron is magic itself. You've entered no pact at all; instead, you've unravelled secret strands of magic, overlooked by others, and been rewarded with shortcuts to knowledge and power. Even to your prying eyes, the Weave is a mysterious an inscrutable patron. Part fate and part twist, the Weave never issues orders to warlocks, yet all they wind up doing its bidding in the end. (Actually, Fate would make a great Otherworldly Patron, too.)Myriad. Instead of one over-arching patron, you entreat whichever otherworldly entity best suits your needs. You cast destructive spells by invoking the secret names of elementals; conjure monsters by entering short-term pacts with demons; break enchantments by calling upon ancient obligations of celestial powers; and warp time and space by briefly catching the attention of some inscrutable alien being from beyond. Your research into forbidden lore keeps you one step ahead of these extraplanar entities, leaving you indebted to many yet beholden to none.The Dungeon Master. This hypothetical being rules over the entire cosmos, including gods, fiends, Elder Things from the Far Realm, down to the lowliest mortal or blade of grass. Most do not believe he or she exists, but you have been given a vision of the truth. You know that the Dungeon Master is a capricious being, who controls the multiverse with the roll of the dice or the vagaries of whim, granting inspiration to those who please him or her and falling rocks to those who do not. And yet, the Dungeon Master is himself bound by a the laws of a mighty tome, a book encoding the secrets of all reality, forged by beings of unfathomable power. Perhaps if you can stay on the Dungeon Master's good side, you might exploit some of those secrets without attracting his or her notice...</blockquote>
