[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7894306, member: 6801228"] How does turning into an elemental matter at all? I mean, I guess if something was designed to only keep out fey, but you could just resummon your familiar as an Imp via RAW if that was the case. And, again, I'm not sold on giving a major part of a pact to a single patron. Sure, You can get it via tome, or via feat, or via a ring of spell storing and a friendly wizard, but that doesn't seem to justify it to me. Take Bladelocks for a counter example. Is their major thing getting a martial weapon? You can do that but multi-classing, a feat, ect. But, their weapon is special in that it can be any weapon, they are always proficient and it can be summoned at-will. Even when they made the Hexblade which was a warlock which granted martial weapons, and made them CHA based, pact of the Blade still had a place, because only pact of the Blade Hexlocks can use Heavy weapons like Greatswords and Polearms with their Cha. Your just giving Find Familiar to the Genie-lock isn't like that. Because poor execution kills concepts. We've seen it in other versions. The Sea and Pheonix Sorcerers were cool concepts. They died because they were not executed well. I don't want the Genie-Lock to go that route, because I do think it is an awesome idea. [/QUOTE]
