Message: <blockquote data-quote="Blue" data-source="post: 7346529" data-attributes="member: 20564">There's no single "this is how I would reconcile it" for all paladin/warlocks, but there are as many individual solutions as there are players in the game.Here's a few:A warlock who has been granted power but is not trying to reform and save their soul, but is still bound by their pact can have great RP potential.Aligned religious and patrons work well, such as an Oath of the Ancients who has a contract with a particular Archfey.Paladins amusingly are not required to be sworn to a religion, read the fluff in the PHB, they are sworn to an oath.  A pact for power to fulfill your own (and not to a being opposed to that oath) would work fine.Oath of Vengeance even has "By Any Means Necessary", so as long as you are also following the tenant "Fight the Greater Evil", making a pact for more power seems pretty in-character for them.If you've seen the Serenity movie, the Operative acknowledges they are a monster who will have no place in the order they are fighting for, but must embrace these means in order to help the greater humanity achieve this goal.  That would make a great paladin/warlock.  "I am not pure myself, because I my look into the Abyss in order to bring abut the greater good".  (Wow, now I want to write that character up.)</blockquote>
