Message: <blockquote data-quote="RoughCoronet0" data-source="post: 9748576" data-attributes="member: 7031665">I feel like this topic is just one of many examples of different people having different expectations/preferences to how the fantasy/story/immersion/"whatever else you want to put here" of there games are achieved. I have played in games where Warlock pacts/patrons are not important at all in a campaign, and I have played in games where warlock pacts/patron are very important to the game is some form or another. They have all been fun games, partially because the DM and players communicated about their expectations and desires upfront in the beginning so we were all able to make informed decisions about what we want to play. For the current campaign I'm running, in the current homebrew world I'm using warlock pacts are not one and done things, but a continuous contract between the PC and patron in question. What that contract actually is can vary wildly, and it's something I talk about with each warlock player before the campaign starts and keep talking to them about as the campaign goes on. It has worked well for my group so far, and a couple other DMs have done the same for their warlock players in their campaigns too. In truths, several classes in my current homebrew world can have connections to external forces that they can interact with in positive, negative, or neutral ways that can potentially affect their powers and progression such as Clerics, Rangers, Barbarians, Druids, Paladins, and of course Warlocks. Even certain subclasses from the other classes can form such connections too depending on the story elements.As with anything else, communicating these things is a must.</blockquote>
