Could we please have a non evil/ammoral pact for Warlocks? :)

[QUOTE="Lackhand, post: 3989666, member: 36160"] This is a neat idea I can answer with, but I don't know how I'd feel seeing it eat pagecount in PHB 1. Be great expanded as a DDI article, or in a supplement, tho'. The idea: It's a Wonderful Life mashup with Spawn. You get a Harrowed One (Good Warlock) when someone who has lead a life of good deeds for the wrong reasons, with a smothered spark of good, comes to an untimely end (especially at the hands of supernatural evil). For purposes of how I'd see this character's backstory play out, imagine that Jimmy Stewart tried to commit suicide not because he was depressed and worth more dead, but because Mr. Potter was actually a Duke of Hell who bound him, some money for his life. Clarence the Angel (tarted up: Clarion of Heaven) appears before him disguised as a mortal, and struggles with him; Stewart throws him from the bridge to the waters below -- and then realized the path that he's on, and turns aside. He jumps in to save Clarion, and then all artifice falls from his eyes, as Clarion stands seven feet tall and burns with holy fire. It was then, sodden and chill, that Stewart became invested with the power of the hosts, and bound his soul to Clarion, that his land might be cleared of the dark power known to men as Potter, and to Angels as Molech. See? :) [/QUOTE]
