I can't claim I was the one to invent the coffeelock, but I described the basic idea very early on in the edition. I couldn't really get behind the actual fluff required at the time -given the only choices back the were amoral patrons at best- so I never tried playing something like that, but now that we have both Celestial Warlock and Divine Soul, I'm starting to feel like trying a Sorceress 3/Warlock 3, it sounds like it might be fun. (Note that I'm disinterested on blasting, so no Twin eldritch blast shenanigans. And with an easily renewable source of magic, there would be less pressure to conserve resources so probably no Twin/Quick spell stuff) Would you be ok with something like that? I don't know, maybe I wouldn't get angry, but I wouldn't be exactly happy under these circumstances either. I barely ever feel the need to try something I know is overpowered -my average fantasy isn't really a power fantasy by the normal usage of the phrase- if I ever decide I want to try it, then I don't want things to be hard, I don't want to be challenged, and certainly I don't want it to end on a TPK. If I decide I want to try something that is "powerful" -and again I barely ever feel like it-, is because I want to feel the thrill of the experience and for things to go my way. And well, I prefer to have multiclassing and feats available, but mostly for the following reasons:*I loathe standard human, it is nothing but a bunch of bland +1s -and I tend to find the resulting characters unrelatable-, at the same time I really like to play humans -because I have an easier time finding them relatable-. Without feats there's no variant human and I'm stuck with a character I find less relatable than ideal. *I like to have the door open to shifting paths if needed. Knowing that my character isn't set in stone helps me relate to it. The opposite makes them feel more like an artificial construct than a living person.*Feats help me fill gaps in my character. I prefer playing sorcerers -I like bards and clerics too, but they tend to be quite busy- but I'm not really a fan of blasting, the extra feat from variant human normally goes to gain proficiency with the fabled spears -they are an iconic sorcerer weapon- and other things like bows and glaives. Or to get a third spell known, the more spells known the least I'm pressured to blast.  *In core-only games, it helps me compensate for the lack of a healing witch. By mixing bard and sorcerer I can approximate a poor-mans favored/divine soul  None of them are powergaming reasons, if anything, going by these forums, they are things that actually undermine a character's power.  More power to you I guess, I wouldn't really want to be in a position to play with this system. Having a way to "buy" fictional space is very cool, but both your examples don't sound very fun to me. What would you do if I was an hypothetical player at your table and I put something like "My character is a princess" and put all of my chips on it?</blockquote>
