[QUOTE="Ahrimon, post: 6539509, member: 12630"] I'm firmly in the camp that warlocks can be any alignment and can have any source of power that they want. Someone wants to make a pact with an angel of retribution and use the fiendish package more power to them. There is nothing against it in either the rules or the fluff. Some folks just find their interpretation of the fluff and cling to it like it's their own personal gospel and any deviation from that is badwrongfun. Seeing some of the posters cling to the way they read (way too much) into the fluff is both sad and humorous. Reading this thread I can just picture someone sitting in a corner clutching their PHB mumbling about pelor's write up and how it must be as they see it. Even in DnD's structured alignment and deity system there are multiple points of view and various shades of good. This whole argument reminds me why I love 4e's alignment system so much more. Not to mention it's treatment of angels less as shining things of virtue and more as the soldiers in a deities army and instruments of their will. It reminds me of a quote from movie Prophecy: And I think this one is an excellent example of a celestial warlock: [/QUOTE]
