Elemental pacts for warlocks? And "pacts" = bad dynamics?

[QUOTE="Felon, post: 4699563, member: 8158"] Silverblade, that is one rambling, disjointed, typo-riddled post. Go back and edit it so it's not so coherency-challenged. There is no evil alignment restriction for warlocks. Warlocks in the PHB have access to fey, star, and infernal pacts. The fey pact easily provides room for good-aligned warlocks. The star is basically set up as "beyond good and evil", and could be taken in either direction; you can be the guy blasting with light or darkness. Even someone in a pact with infernal powers need not be evil. Take a cue from the TV show "Reaper"; how about a character who has powers as a result of a pact made by his parents? How about a child raised in a demonic cult who runs away? The term "pact" is pretty open-ended, as is the term "contract". They can be implicit or explicit, a vague oral agreement or a highly-explicit set of documented obligations, an ongoing relationship of give-and-take or a one-time lump-sum exchange. So rejoice--it can indeed be an ancient entity sharing power or teaching an ancient form of magic or a connection a mysterious source of power. All that stuff you said. So, basically it seems to me you have rushed into a set of preconceptions the same way into making that post. The PHB doesn't compel warlocks to be evil. [/QUOTE]
