I believe I have to put one in my current campaign. Actually, I'm kinda surprised no one's tried to play a sassy drag-queen squid -- it's the sort of thing my players would do. Riffing off of warlock Ariel, I was imagining a child who unknowingly swore a pact with an entity who was masquerading as their imaginary friend. The child is now --and forever after-- a warlock bound to said entity. But the child is good, or at least tries to be as they grow up. I'm sure there are like dozens of good puberty metaphors in this character concept.Also child-soldier warlocks. Kids who were forced to swear pacts, turned into weapons by a military/militia, and then rescued/freed after the war. Their powers remain, their bond remains, but some of them try to heal, atone, and do good. One does wonder how the adult soldiers control children who are armed with warlock powers. I guess much in the same way you control a child armed with an AK-47 full of live ammunition.This is also wonderful. So far, the best & most convincing argument for non-evil warlocks are the interesting characters being presented in this thread!</blockquote>
