[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9302800, member: 58172"] Both classes to do both. The origin stories are fungible. An inexperienced Human can go to a powerful Dragon and say, "give me draconic magic". Since Dragons tend toward self-interest, some kind of bargain is happen, whether a literal exchange of goods or not. The Human may unwittingly further one of the Dragons plan. It might be the Human has something the Dragon covets. Powerful Dragons emanate draconic influence, and here, transmogrifies the Human draconically at the Humans request. This is a "pact". The Human is a Sorcerer. Other powerful entities such as Archfeys and Arch-celestials can likewise cause sorcerous transformation. Conversely, a Human can inherit a Warlock pact. An ancestral Human makes a pact with a powerful Fiend. In the bargain, the Fiend demands the lives of ones children, or descendants, such as every third descendant of a third descendant. It is the Fiend that chooses to imbue this power and does so continuously thru each generation. These can be situations where the Warlock is unwilling and defiant, but the Fiend has some longterm goal in mind. These narratives are origin stories to explain how a draconic or fiendish magic happened. How does a Human do this? Origins stories are interesting and important. But they dont happen on every page of the comicbook or in every sentence of dialogue in a movie. It is BACKGROUND. The class is something different. [/QUOTE]
