[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 7167638, member: 6786252"] Actually, fiendish warlock and standard paladin mix was actually a fairly big thing back in 4e. There was even an entire tiefling story behind it - the Crimson Legions. The paladin part used to be devoted to Asmodeus in the past, but then the "modern" Crimson Legionairre relied on more goodly gods and used warlock magic to turn evil's power against itself. There's plenty of other ways to run a similar thing. I once did a story where my warlock PC's Patron was actually a family of tiefling witches that specialized in this kind of thing. Warlock magic passed down from mother to daughter, invoking the Pact Infernal to claim a birthright of magic. The paladin part can easily come from just picking a regular god to worship of your choice. Back in 4e, there was an example of a high level warlock that turned against the Nine Hells, got good, and all that. But was captured by the Nine Hellsp; using Astral Projection, he/she contacted other potential warlocks and trained them. This Patron not only encourages fights against the Nine Hells, but is a non-evil Fiend patron. And official D&D lore. And that's just a fiend warlock. Fey warlocks and fey paladins go together almost trivially from a story perspective. GOO warlocks can have their Patron be a sleeping being from another dimension that they have no control over, and the paladin half come from any Oath of your choice. Going paladin to hold onto your sanity and morals in face of that alien mind touching yours. [/QUOTE]
