[QUOTE="Necrozius, post: 8251648, member: 7027128"] What I liked about the game Dungeon World was that it explicitly stated to the players and the DM that the available classes are unique in the world, like super heroes. For example, you are the "Cleric". There are other religious practitioners in your setting who may call themselves clerics, but they are not the 'Cleric' with the same powers as you. There may be other magic users too, but none of them are the "Wizard". And so on. It's an interesting take that frees up world building significantly if you want that kind of campaign in which the PCs are super special and important in some way. Otherwise, yeah, I'd prefer to create a campaign setting where there are some things grounded and accepted. Player and DM agree that Warlocks are the only spellcasters in this specific world (for whatever reasons, thematically or mechanically) and that their Prime Ability Score is Intelligence or Charisma, depending on their patron or personality or whatever. The PC might have a new pact from an as-yet-unknown source (which makes them special and unique) but generally "Warlocks" in that setting (who may not even be CALLED warlocks) typically make pacts with the Serpent Queen or the God of the Unconquered Sun.
