This is not as frightening as it seems, as it reminds me of travelling through road construction at rush hour in Chicago.
The warlock, as the fluff shows, does model the spellcaster who makes a pact with strange powers. So, the fluff at least has some legendary and literary precedent.
Also, depending on the power a warlock is allied with, a traditional lawful good paladin may or may not tolerate that character. Those wiarlocks who ally with the fey might work well with a paladin in a party as well as rangers.

Considering that most fey are considered chaotic, I'm guessing they intend to limit the warlock to simply 'non-good'. That allows 2/3s of the alignments for the warlock.
And as for alignments, I have a suspicion that they will be replaced with allegiances - with alignments being one possibility. So it could be that the Paladin will exist but require allegiance to a deity, a religion, or an alignment. Something similar may exist for the warlock, with the proviso that the allegiance be towards a non-good infernal, fey, or shadowfell entity.

On the other hand, ENWorld is usually quite friendly, considering other forums on the web. Only 4E has... stirred up things.ForceUser said:Yeah, see, that's what I'm saying!

It's not really that bad. The primary issues are:
1) Many of the worst parts of the state are right across from New York City.
2) Lots of the chemical industry base themselves in New Jersey, meaning areas with a lot of ugly chemical plants.
3) Like many states, the worst parts of New Jersey are along the highways, so people just driving through the state see little more than endless strip malls and such.
4) A strong entertainment and publishing presence in New York City means New Yorkers have a disproportionate influence on mass media.
That said, it's not that great there, either. The "endless strip malls and low culture" reputation does have some basis. There are some quite pretty parts of the state and a fair amount of agriculture, if you are willing to drive away from the highways.

Yes, I agree. I have never seen the red moderator text so often on these Boards. (But that's not a critique to the moderators - I think they're doing this difficult job tremendously good. They always have.)Lord Tirian said:
Well, I guess it's natural that people react strong about things they care much about. Though we can wonder if we care a bit too much about D&D/RPG... The answer is definitely yes in my case.
