[QUOTE="ClaytonCross, post: 7119115, member: 6880599"] That's not really true, The Great Old One does not know or care about his beneficiary. The Hexblade patron also does not care. The increase of powers and abilities could easily be the beneficiary learning better what he can do and how to access the powers or that as he/she uses their powers they find it easier to draw larger amounts of power out. Think of that horrible spawn movie that came out year ago. All the power may have been granted up front, but they simple have to "gain the experience" with it in order to unlock their full potential. I would say they are more akin to Sorcerers than Clerics. Sorcerers don't syphon there power, they are altered by it once and become a source of it. I tend to agree with Saelorn that breaking the "deal" or fighting against ones patron would not allow them to reclaim the power but would defiantly anger an Arched Fey or Demon. Who could send minions, perhaps other warlocks, against them to make a point about breaking deals and perhaps can be tracked by it due to the "connection". If they were caught by there patron or its minions they might have a ritual to lock the power down or kill them in a ritual to draw the power back out to give to a more loyal minion or new beneficiary. Just my interpretation / opinion. [/QUOTE]
