[QUOTE="Nebulous, post: 6373305, member: 31465"] I'm thinking of lifting the DCC magic system right out of the game and making it a subclass of warlock. DCC spellcasters already have patrons, so it fits right in. Plus, every spell has a manifestation and corruption table built in, so there are hundreds of wonky effects that can happen, some benign, some really, really bad. Again, this isn't the kind of thing for everyone, but i think it could slide into 5th edition fairly easily for a DM and players willing to try it.
