[QUOTE="Ahrimon, post: 6539573, member: 12630"] I'd also like to re-iterate that nothing about the warlock says that you have to sell your soul regardless of the pact source you choose. It could simply be access to a power source for a favor that you've already completed. Remember the starting warlock makes his pact at or prior to lvl 1. And regardless of the views that warlocks simply make a bargain and get lots of power there isn't anything in the book that says a warlock doesn't have to train for their magic as much as a wizard or sorcerer does. A warlocks bargain could simply be for access and they have to develop those abilities just like any other class. It could also be a family pact. What if great-great-granddad made the deal and every 3rd son inherits the power? You still have to develop it like anyone else. In many cases a Warlock and a Sorcerer could be very similar. Both inherited gifts that have to be developed. The only difference would be that one is naturally in the bloodline the other is infused into the bloodline. Even a fiendish pact warlock could inherit their powers and out pious the cleric and paladin. These backstories aren't hard to put together if you are willing to look at things beyond a narrow self-defined scope. [/QUOTE]
