[QUOTE="grimslade, post: 3827442, member: 6061"] I was a bit worried a couple weeks back when Rich Baker mentioned seeing how far he could push the 'evil' envelope for the Warlock fluff. This article does not soothe my worries. I like the warlock concept for a base class, a pact magic servitor of powerful otherworldly beings. I like the concept of having to sing for your supper to maintain your powers. I don't like that it is focused more on the Darker powers in the fluff presented so far. I am intrigued by the mention of Feral Warlocks. I thought the fey flavored 3.5 warlock was a great concept. I could see the flavor of the Send to Hell for 1 round being sent to the Wild Hunt for 1 round. I would love to see a Lawful Good version. A warlock compelled to serve a Planatar or Archon and fight the good fight. Maybe the Marking of souls would be to redeem that person/monster and thus deny Asmodeus another ally/thrall. Maybe the warlock is charged with fighting the spread of the Seed of Evil and send evil chaotics back to their source. I think the warlock has a tremendous amount of potential but I hope that the flavor doesn't pigeon hole it to angst only need apply. [/QUOTE]
