[QUOTE="Lanliss, post: 7712729, member: 6801219"] The picture on the Warlock class is just about the most "Witchy" picture I could imagine. That aside, I agree that they should be capable of medicine, and will probably add that to the list in my games going forward. If you have or know players who would pull that trick, I feel sorry for you. If mine tried it, I would just tell them no, Period. So many people assume that because the Patron does not give their stuff away for free They must be Evil. Do you also consider the local Armorer evil? or the Tavern, or horse master? Doing something for payment doesn't make the Patron any more evil then those guys and girls. If you run it that way in your games, more power and all that, but I just think its silly. As an example, the Patrons in my world work as follows. Fiend: Chaos has spread to the Infernal Planes, so there are Lawful Fiends, attempting to uphold the Infernal System, and Chaotic fiends trying to tear it down. Both could get Warlocks to help them. Lawful fiends also see the necessity in the Material Plane not being totally wiped out by Chaos, so they put their powers towards keeping it clear. Fey: Yep, Chaos is in the Feywild as well, but much worse. It has actually leaked in and started physically devouring the Plane, as Chaos does. So, the Archfey are in a constant war against Abominations and Monstrosities that pour out of the darkness. Their Warlocks, and Ancient Paladins, are primary fighters in this war, so both of them generally get called to the Feywild once they reach a high enough mastery of their powers. Great Old One: These are an example of why Chaos is called "Chaos", and not "Evil". A lot of them are so fragmented that they don't even realize they gave power away. Others will be fighting against Chaos, making a classic example of Chaotic Stupid, like most people think Chaotic characters act. [/QUOTE]
