[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8169402, member: 2629"] A warlock agrees to serve another being in an exchange. Who did you make an agreement with? If you're a Fiend Pact Warlock, was it with a Demon, a Devil, an Archfiend, or something else? What were the terms of the agreement? What did you give up? Freedom? Soul? Family? What did you get? Just class abilities? Or was there more? Why did you make it? When did you make it? Were you enthusiastic about it, or was it done in ignorance, or in desperation? Wat did your friends and family know? What did they think of what they knew? How do you feel about others that have made the same deal? Does the being you signed a deal with also have clerics, paladins, cultists or other followers? What makes you different? What form did the pact take? Verbal? A contract? A ritual? What does your patron want? Why did they select you to give them what they want? Do you feel the same now as you did when you signed the pact? Is your pact a secret? What do others think of your pact, if they know of it? What happens if you do not live up to the pact terms? What happens if you live up to the terms, technically, but not the spirit of the agreement? Is the agreement transferable? Is there someone else that has signed a similar deal that is jealous of your position? Spend time with those questions, and asking yourself whatever else you can think of and I think you'll find a bit more role playing inspiration. [/QUOTE]
