[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 7119540, member: 6786252"] That depends on the pact that the Patron and Warlock make. 5e does not assume a business deal, one-and-done, and outright says that the warlock often does need to perform favors for their Patron throughout their adventuring carreer (which can take place during downtime). "Your patron's demands might drive you into adventures, or they might consist entirely of small favors you can do between adventures." Then what about a cleric pissing off their god, the wizard having their spell books burned, the paladin breaking their oath? Druids may get their power from nature gods and elemental forces, which has all the same restrictions as a cleric, or through a "spirituality of transcendent union" with nature, which can theoretically break through an addiction to city life, drugs, gambling, etc. Bards need to perform, and a bard with a crushed larnyx or otherwise unable to perform is in trouble. All spellcasters have some kind of "penalty," as you put it, with the sole exception of the sorcerer. And that's fine, because its what the stuff of stories is made up of. [/QUOTE]
