[QUOTE="Lanliss, post: 7119124, member: 6801219"] As others have said, it is all up to the story you want to tell. Sometimes the deal is a deal, the Warlock has the power they bargained for, and the Patron has whatever they got out of the pact. Other times, the Warlock is bound to serve the patron, and moving away from that is either a bad move, or maybe not even possible. In my world, most patrons hand out power and let the warlocks do as they will, after a quick background check. The only rule most Patrons have is that the Warlock cannot further the power of Chaos, A Multi-plane spanning corruption that is screwing everyone equally, including Fiends and Archfey. Except for the Chaos tainted Patrons, who have the opposite rule, or no rules at all. Making a pact is usually based on a job. Patron wants Workers to clear out Chaos shrine, 2 secret knowledges and 1 cantrip to whoever does it. Archfey usually include a fine print in their pacts that says they get to summon you to the Feywild as a soldier against Chaos, either after you die or once you reach a certain power level. Other than that, most Warlocks are free to do whatever they see fit since, for most people and creatures, that means slowing down chaos. [/QUOTE]
