[QUOTE="Not a Decepticon, post: 9809523, member: 7020527"] Good thing Pointy Hat doesn't actually say that Celestial Warlocks get their powers from a god, he makes a joke that Celestials are so close to gods this may as well be distinction without difference. He made a joke that EB is so good that other options may as well not exist, which we have argued about in this thread whenever it's true or not. But you are coming at it with extremely bad faith reading of his words, he flat out did not said what you say he said. Acussations of using AI are serious and should not be thrown around as flippant remarks. He was very much talking in context of ulticlassing and spellcasting rules, he makes a point multiple times later that one of Warlock's strength is their way of using magic works entierly different from other classes. Again, you are going out of your way to be offended here. There is a difference between a flavor text of a background, seeing how backgrounds needed feats and Ability Score Modifiers to stop being nothingburger, and description of how the class works. The moment you put that into description of a feature it becomes how it is intended to work RAW and while you could ignore it, that is on individual table and individual DM and does not change this is a bad game design.
