Either could be changed to resolve the problem, and should be done in a way that doesn't offer the DM authority to strip your abilities. Something like the 3e binder's visage signs (with some tweaks to make them more relevant) is a good start, or alternatively you could shift the warlock to representing something like unorthodox clerical worship or perhaps ritualistic emulsion of an occult force to derive power. Or maybe it's a simple "you can't be conventionally resurrected" clause in the spellcasting ability to explain what you're paying.There's lots of options, but it is lazy and frustrating to start with "you made a dark bargain for power" and not then actually have any terms.</blockquote>
