Message: <blockquote data-quote="Imaro" data-source="post: 3989657" data-attributes="member: 48965">I see no reason a warlock couldn't have a "good" power source, for example...A reformed killer or murderer who is given a second chance after being imprisoned by the church of blah-blah.  He isn't an actual follower of the "good" power such as a cleric or paladin but, as a sinner, he can be used as an expendable servant who serves the deity's interests and is empowered by the good power to do just that.  He is given the bloody-handed missions and questionable actions that must be performed by the power in order to promote the greater good, but that would tarnish a paladin or cleric.  He may have the chance for a semi-redemption if he can find "good" ways to complete his missions for the greater good (and may even come to realize that his former ways must be attoned for), on the other hand he could complete his missions (still serving the greater good) but with no moral compass for how far he goes or what are necessary actions (thus falling further and further to evil).  And if he fails or just goes too far, well then the deity will strip his powers and send it's paladins and clerics to pass final judgement on him.Some would ask why a "good" power would do this...well alot of good powers could be about chances for redemption, tests of morality, and free will.  They are also often about righteous wrath and not a fair bit of destruction when necessary.</blockquote>
