[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7493193, member: 6689161"] OK. I have thought of a very succinct way to express the thought. This is merely an example. What if a particular Warlock essentially gets power from study with the help of a mentor? What if the Warlock still learns and grows in power even if he disobeys his mentor? I am arguing that: 1. All of the warlocks in your world could be stricken powerless for this even if the PC is not 2. If a player has an idea that breaks your typical world assumptions, it does not tear down your world, make it common or destroy anything Allowing snowflake fluff does no harm on a grand scale. An exception is just that. Every other warlock may function just as you believe they function even if the PC does not. Second example: 1. All clerics follow a deity and belong to a church in a game world...except the PC. The PC follows a philosophy and does not belong to a hierarchy. (That seems to break from PHB fluff). Even if this cleric deviates from the typical, your world can still be entirely populated by normal clerics, church hierarchies and deity lovers! The character does not have to alter anything other than his character's story. Other NPCs would not whine about clerical powers being attached to Gods because they would be devoted, not understand what is going on with the PC. The world would operate as you designed with...an exception. It could even be the only one to exist. [/QUOTE]
